At Guitar Show UK, we met John Wines, also known as @oldgreyguitarist — a guitar teacher and viral sensation who has inspired millions with his energy and passion for music. From the classroom to the America’s Got Talent stage, his journey shows how music can stay alive at any age. Discover how he connected with Litejam and its potential to motivate the next generation of guitarists.

At Guitar Show UK, we met one of our Kickstarter backers who used Litejam’s Open API to create a completely original way of interacting with the fretboard. Their project is a great example of how our community is pushing the boundaries of what Litejam can do, turning the guitar into a platform for creativity, experimentation, and new musical experiences.

After CES in Las Vegas and NAMM in Los Angeles, Litejam arrives at The Guitar Show & Bass Show UK with high expectations. As one of the UK’s biggest guitar events, it brings together players, brands, and artists for an exciting weekend. We’ve just arrived and can’t wait to discover what these next two days have in store.

The new Custom Chord Progression feature gives you complete control over your practice. Choose any chords you want, build your own progressions, adjust the tempo, and see everything come to life directly on your Litejam guitar. Whether you're learning your favorite songs or writing your own, this tool puts total creative freedom in your hands.

NAMM 2026 in Los Angeles was an unforgettable milestone for Litejam. From meeting our amazing backers face to face to seeing world-class artists try our guitars firsthand, the energy was incredible. After an intense year across China, Germany, and the UK, this stop felt like another powerful step in our global journey — and the Litejam family keeps growing. 🎸

At CES in Las Vegas, we had an unexpected full-circle moment — the chance to meet and speak directly with members of the Kickstarter team who helped our campaign surpass 2,000 backers and one million dollars raised. What started as a spontaneous encounter became a meaningful reminder of how far Litejam has come — and how much our community has made possible.

Bringing Litejam to CES for the first time was an experience we’ll never forget. CES is where the world’s most exciting inventions and technological breakthroughs are unveiled, and being part of that environment was both inspiring and energizing for our entire team. From the very beginning, we knew CES was special—but we’ll be honest: we also had our doubts.

2025 was a year we’ll never forget. From reaching over $1M on Kickstarter to meeting our community around the world and inspiring the next generation of guitarists, this is our thank you — and our promise for what’s coming in 2026.

We recently hosted our very first Litejam workshop at a local high school, where we had the chance to inspire students through music, creativity, and real-life experience. We shared the message that anyone can start playing guitar and build their own path, no matter where they come from. With passion, practice, and the right guidance, dreams can turn into reality — and at Litejam, we’re excited to be part of that first step.
