Loog Guitar

The guitar is actually really cool. But the accompanying app needs an overhaul in order to realize the full potential of this mini guitar. The songs are WAY too fast for a beginner. The metronome won’t go below 80 bpm which should be an extraordinarily easy fix and major product design fail. There’s numerous examples of how to teach a song via an app. Yousician is probably the best example. This app doesn’t show the strumming pattern and just rolls through the chords. In summary, the physical guitar is actually really cool, but the weak, underdeveloped app robs the guitar of its potential, and guarantees customer disappointment and high return rates. I’m not sure about the five star reviews but I’m suspicious that they’re written by friends and/or employees of the company

Bought the guitar for my 8 yr old she was so excited to play since it was smaller then regular guitar and we thought with the app this would be a great way for her to learn the chords and play songs. WRONG! It had so much potential and still could be great if they made some much needed changes. The songs should have more instructions with them showing where to place the fingers and when to strum. Also would be nice if it followed u not u trying to follow a really fast pace song. Also only has 1 game to play with the guitar and that goes so fast it doesn’t even let a beginner find the right note before it tells you ur wrong. I don’t normally write reviews and I actually just sent an email to the company explaining my disappointment. This has the potential to be great and I love the guitar itself it’s just the app expects way to much from children supposedly as young as 3, no way! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT THE WAY IT IS CURRENTLY!

My 3-year-old loves changing his little rock monster’s appearance (which is AWESOME because it’s the only way to get him to play the games and earn points). But the dueling guitars game (which is the best way for us to earn points at the moment) doesn’t have an open string option! So when you’re supposed to strum the open string, you lose because the open string words do not appear above the nut and even if you tap the appropriate place anyway, it doesn’t register. Would LOVE an update to fix this glitch and any others that many other reviewers have complained about.

Not quite sure what’s going on with the negative reviews. This app is fun, colorful, and inspiring! I’m 27 and learned guitar at the age of 7. For my dyslexic brain I would have love this waaaaay more then black and white lines of music notes. They even have that hall of fame to inspire kids to want to post videos!! How cool is it to be a kid right now! You can even dress up your avatar!! I’m loving it! This app has put the fun into playing music and opening your mind to explore with the 3 strings!! I have a lot of respect for the designers, rock n roll guys!

There is NO WAY a child will be able to follow the lessons on the app. They are done by a teacher holding an electric Loog- not a child loog first of all. There is no teaching or intro into what string is what. But, he instructs you from the first lesson to put your finger on the “G” string or the “high E.” How are you supposed to know which string that is? Also, what is a fret? Come on. You advertised that small children could learn from the app. They don’t know what a fret is. I didn’t either. I play piano, but I don’t know what string is what on a guitar, neither do my kids. The flash cards are impossible to figure out. I have no idea which fret or string to put what finger on. It’s so confusing. If I’m this confused, my kids will not be able to figure it out. I I tried to give them the app, but they were lost. Not only is it not engaging, and the instructor talks to them like he is talking to another adult, but he is way to hard to follow. The guitar itself seems to be nice. The lessons and the app are a big waste.
