This granularity allows musicians to dive in to each nuance of a certain song, and then replace it with their own hot licks. Jammit uses the original multi-track master recordings in its catalog so that users can tune into instrument-specific samples - for guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, and vocals. Jammit wants to assist in this approach by allowing musicians to play along with their favorite songs, and to get a taste (at least virtually) of what it’s like to be there in the recording studio.

Ideally, when learning to play an instrument (or practicing), we want to play along with our favorite songs - to emulate them to get a better feel for how musicians created these songs - and for learning how to create our own riffs.

Today, we’ve learned about another app for iOS (and coming soon to Mac and Windows desktops) called Jammit, which should be of interest to novices and experts alike.
While YouTube offers a great jumping off point, it’s disorganized and only just scratches the surface. Of course, the truth is that most musicians learned their instrument by playing along to their favorite songs (probably not mp3s), and imitating what they heard. If you want to learn to play the guitar, or another instrument, you can find plenty of YouTube videos you can strum along to, and the mobile apps and web-based tools that boost your chops continue to get better - and, frankly, astound. There’s Miso Media’s Plectrum, which “listens” as you play, scrolling the tablature forward as you progress through the song, or Tonara’s interactive sheet music, Stagename‘s game-ified music education for the mass market, WildChords, a musical game that uses audio technology to recognize sound through your device’s microphone, turning your six-string into a game controller, Rocksmith, Rock Prodigy, and these … well, you get the picture. There are a ton of these educational (and often game-ified) apps out there, and we seem to have a new one at TechCrunch Disrupt every year. Arguably, a better (or at least more popular) use for mobile devices is to act not as the instrument itself, but as an educational aid - a tool that helps us to learn how to play our favorite instruments. While magical mobile devices are able to simulate instruments in wild and mind-blowing ways, thankfully most people stick to the actual instruments themselves when learning to play.
