InstruMagic and Ultimate Guitar to Launch World's First Guitar app That Lets non-Musicians Play any Song
TEL AVIV, Israel, June 20, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
InstruMagic [http://instru-magic.com ], a Tel-Aviv based music-playing-apps developer,
has partnered with Ultimate Guitar, the world's largest online community of guitar
enthusiasts, to release Songful, a virtual guitar app that gives users the ability to play
any of the hundreds of thousands of songs that are available on Ultimate-Guitar.com.
Based on instruMagic's award-winning "ZAP Guitar" technology, Songful creates a
guitar-playing experience that is equally engaging for musicians and non-musicians alike.
As instruMagic's CEO, Eyal Eldar, points out: "This partnership creates a strategic
synergy for both companies. Combining Ultimate Guitar's huge database of licensed chords
and lyrics with instruMagic's groundbreaking technology creates a compelling app for an
untapped audience of guitar enthusiasts who never mastered the instrument, as well as
guitar players that can take their 'songful' guitar with them anywhere."
"We are excited to be working with Eyal and the rest of the instruMagic team," says
Jonathan Kehl from Ultimate Guitar, "instruMagic has created a technology that really
captures the key elements that make playing guitar fun. Songful entertains not just
guitarists, but anyone who loves to play music."

demonstrated at http://www.instru-magic.com.
