Samsung’s latest update will allow budding musicians to learn the guitar from the comfort of their TV

Players can choose a path for four different instruments: electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass or ukulele. You can then select courses based on your skill level, which feature step-by-step lessons built around familiar songs, from 99 Red Balloons by Nena to The Jungle Book’s Bare Necessities.

The Jam Mode feature also lets players select a “fun” background and play along with curated tracks from a variety of genres, to turn “their screen into a stage”.

President of the Fender Play Foundation, Cliff Kim, adds that the addition is designed to help “guitar enthusiasts take their skills to the next level” and give them the “opportunity to learn, practice, and play”.

Samsung says that the app will be available on its TVs in 2026 – although the exact release date is not yet confirmed. It will first be available on Samsung’s 2026 line-up of smart TVs, and will roll out to select older models through a software update.
