Hi @terry.adcock1158 Terry

You might care to check out Tyler Grant’s LIVE one on one jam where he sings and plays along with his students. He records these sessions so you can go back through his archive

Also See his main YouTube Channel below.

I’ve not used it a whole lot, but a friend of mine has and he really likes it.

Hi @terry.adcock1158 I trailed it but I found it didn’t work for me. I wanted it to play melody so I could practice banjo backup. I much prefer TablEdit / TEFView that way I can play along with @BanjoBen 's TABs.

Because of health reason’s I too can no longer get out to jam sessions.

Yes, I’ve been enjoying it recently.

I hadn’t thought about playing along with the tef files. That is a good idea.

Hi @terry.adcock1158 Terry if you have no plans to write or edit TAB TEF files then use the TEFView app it’s FREE

I love strum machine! I use it almost every time I practice. It’s so much more fun to play along with than a metronome.

The greatest moments I’ve enjoyed during a jam have been coming out from unfamiliar territory knowing that I nailed it! I’ve disappointed myself enough too (and as Ben states, “no one really cares”) but when I succeed, it’s the best feeling!
