Guitar Jam Tracks - Scale Trainer & Practice Buddy for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

• By NkGuit

  Not for intermediate players, DEFINITELY not for beginners.

  Few important points I wanna make: -The chords written are not accurate to what is being played. The developer confuses major/minor/dominant chords. So basically everything. Measures and song forms are written very poorly. Good luck figuring it out on your own. -Tracks don’t sound authentic to any of the styles available. I mean not even single one. I understand if the developer is a metalhead not familiar with jazz music, but the person is an amateur musician who really needs to study more music. -Basically it’s just a guitar player playing poorly made riffs over drum machines. And even the guitar tones sound really cheap. If you’re a serious musician you will immediately figure out that you’ve made a mistake by paying high dollars. If you’re a beginner, only thing you will get out of this app will be a bad habit of misreading music. I’m seriously ashamed of spending money on this app. I could’ve made a better library of jam tracks on my own in a single day. Sorry developers. Hope you made enough money to go take some music lessons.

  You must be joking!!

  This may be the biggest waste of money in the app store. If anyone figures out how this can be worth $9.99 please let me know. They really need to figure a way to let a person interested in an app test it out before purchasing. This app does nothing but play a few backup tracks and demonstrate, in a confusing manner, where to place your fingers to attempt to play some lead into the backing tracks. The quote in the advertisement for this app by somebody named Orlando C. (a U.S. Customer) reads as follows, "I don't think anything else has ever improved my playing like this app has." Well, maybe Orlando improved his playing by purchasing this app, attempting to use it, finding out he had wasted his money and the app is so bad that he was compelled to practice the correct way and not use hyped up, overstated apps like this one. I really do feel like I just gave $9.99 of my money to somebody and got absolutely NOTHING in return. I really hope my review helps others avoid wasting money like I have. The developers of this app must be laughing all the way to the bank.

  Over priced but great product- Not just for begginers.

  I've been playing guitar for around 8 years now, so I know my way around the neck. When I first started playing, my dad taught me how to play all the scales, and together we would switch off improving solos. When I first brought up the app, I was disappointed. It seemed to be meant for begginers, or someone who didn't know scales. But as I kept playing with it, I realized that it is a great tool. It plays chord progressions in all major and minor keys in the styles of acoustic blues, humbucker blues, jazz, reggae, and rock. There's also a diagram showing all the notes, the root notes, and the blues notes. This app will help you learn the fingerings, and help you practice in different styles to improve yourslef as an overall guitarist. Yes, it is kinda expensive, but I've gotten a lot of use out of it and have added it to my regular practice schedule. I also had a gift card at the time, so that helped my decision. I def recomend this app!

  Fanstastic app!!!

  I saw the this app and wonder if the software worked as well as people said. I got a chance to fire it up and was very impressed on the set up. It is great for beginners to experienced players. It helps prevent guitarist getting stuck in “the box” and great for just practicing chords and different rhythm. I love house it should you the chord progression and several different scales within the major and minor keys. I your looking for an app to keep your fingers motorskills up this is the app! Great job and looking forward to new updates.

  Perfect

  I bought this when I was startting soloing and its a great way to get started. It teaches you 2 scales: Major and Minor penatonic with blues notes that you can use. It gives you these scales in every key all down the guitar neck. It gives you backing music along with the scales: you can chose between Acustic blues, Humbucker blues, Jazz, Rock, or reggae. you get backing music for the major and minor form in every key. This does a great Job of displaying the various positions the scale can be played on and with further study you and jump from position to position as you please. play around with the scale listen to the rythem and some phrasing then practice soloing and improvising. If you are a more inermidet to advanced player there is not a whole lot for you but if you don't know the platonic scales all the way down the neck or arent that experienced in soloing buy it now.
