At this year's TechCrunch Disrupt SF event, a small startup called Miso Media won the People's Choice award for one of the niftiest iPad apps I've seen: it turns your iOS device into a guitar teacher. And it apparently wowed a lot of other people too, because today the startup is announcing that it's closed a $600K seed funding round led by Google Ventures, with�participation�from angel investors including Keith Rabois and Laura Ziskin. One cool thing to note: Rabois was actually one of the judges when Miso Media presented on stage at Disrupt.
Miso's app, which is called Miso Music, still isn't out yet ?�CEO Aviv Grill says that it was submitted to the App Store earlier this month and it should be coming soon. But I got to try it briefly at Disrupt, and it definitely impressed me. Unlike most guitar tablature applications, which simply display the song you're playing and play it back in a MIDI format, Miso's application will actually listen to the notes you're playing and scroll the music accordingly. It's really slick.
