→ hypothesis

Young adults learning to play the guitar at home, without any teacher involved, lack real-time feedback on their technique, posture, and progress, making self-directed practice frustrating and inefficient. This results in prolonged learning curves, demotivation, and high dropout rates, as beginners struggle to identify and correct mistakes independently. In an ideal scenario, they would receive intuitive, playful feedback—like a virtual instructor—enabling joyful, rapid mastery of the instrument from home, while creating a unique market opportunity for guitars with integrated learning technology unmatched by competitors.
