Open it on a laptop or a TV and host a room; every phone scans the QR and gets its own strings of one guitar. Tap a dot when it reaches its ring and the big screen plays your note; miss it and the song has a hole. Two phones split the guitar in half, four make a band of thumbs. The first song is House of the Rising Sun.
Free, no account, and it plays alone too. I’d love to hear where it falls apart with real friends.
Very cool. Also very difficult to play in real time on a phone screen.
This is a neat idea. Splitting one guitar across phones via QR is something I have not seen before. The miss-a-note hole in the song is a clear shared fail state, which helps the group feel it together. On the playability side, fuzzzerd is right that timing on a small phone screen is harsh; a slightly wider hit window on the first song, or a short practice pass before House of the Rising Sun, might help rooms actually finish a track. Curious whether latency between phones is noticeable when someone is on mobile data.
