Maybe I am just stupid, but when would a guitarist use this? When he is on the bus with his guitar and inspiration strikes? I need to play my riff maaan! 🙂
Daniel from Sonoma Wire Works here. When would a guitarist use this? Anytime, anywhere. As a musician myself, I find it hard to write in a stuffy studio control room. I’m most inspired when I’m out and about, enjoying my surroundings, nature, people. One thing I always have on me? My phone. We can’t wait to see all the places people will record with GuitarJack! 🙂
