Jamstar

Ok, you got yourself a guitar, now what?   You want to start making music!

If you are a fan of video games, this might be right up your alley.  (if you aren't a fan of video games, don't worry, we have something for you as well.)

So for video gamers, here is a free application that runs on iPod/iPad as well as Android devices.  It uses the built in microphone of your device to do things like help you tune your guitar and learn to play songs.  It's called Jamstar -

Now what is really neat, a company called DR makes multicolored strings to help you better keep track of where you want to be when playing along with the lesson on Jamstar -

The multicolored strings sell for about $10 - $12.  The app has an option to display the strings in color to match those on your guitar.



Truth be told, I don't play video games, so I haven't used this app.  But from everything I've heard, if you are used to playing video games, you may definitely want to give this a try.

Have fun!

p.s. You may want the app for mothing else than the tuner function, it makes tuning your guitar very simple
