Common Questions

Can I strum continuously without lifting my finger?

Yes — keep your finger pressed and sweep up and down. Each directional sweep re-triggers the strings, just like a real strumming motion.

Can I use this on my phone?

Fully touch-enabled. Strumming the guitar will not accidentally scroll your page — the strum area captures touch without interfering with normal scrolling elsewhere.
