A musical training apparatus that has a string board for holding guitar strings, the string board having a head stock positioned proximate an end thereof and tuning pegs positioned on and through the headstock. The invention includes an orthogonal extending member having a first end and a second end, the first end being coupled to the rear surface of the string board. The invention also has a belly plate having top surface and a bottom surface, the second end of the orthogonal extending member being coupled to the top surface of belly plate and a thigh brace having a thigh brace extension portion coupling a lower edge of the string board to a curved member.

Various embodiments are provided generally relating to providing a strum pad on a user device. In some embodiments, a musical arrangement may be provided on a user device. A score of the musical arrangement may be tracked as it plays. In some embodiments, gestures may be detected on the user device while the user device plays the musical arrangement. In response to detecting the gesture, a component piece for the musical arrangement may be outputted. In some embodiments, the outputted component piece may correspond to the tracked score of the musical arrangement.
