About the Work
Notes IPA from SingleCut brewery, is the first beer crafted to teach you guitar. Four distinct labels were designed to display a guitar fretboard and a foundational chord: C, D, G or E minor. By gripping the can exactly as you would a guitar, you can learn the finger positions for these chords and get a feel for guitar strings through the label’s tactile finish. Scanning the Snapchat code on the labels activates a shareable augmented reality guitar lesson right on the can and turns it into a playable instrument. Every pull tab is fitted with a custom-made guitar pick – designed to pop open the beer and pop off for you to play with.
