Open Jamerator, get a chord progression, press play, and start playing. If friends are around, everyone jams to the same chords on the same beat.

Set the tempo, move the key or add a capo, pick a count-in, and hear the guitar, the click, or both. LEAD The scales that fit your progression, lit up on a fretboard. Chord tones highlight as the chart plays so you always know where to land. TUNER A built-in tuner with a fine-tune meter. One tap away, no switching apps. JAM TOGETHER One phone starts a jam and nearby friends join over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. No accounts, no internet. Everyone sees the same chords and starts on the same beat, and anyone can roll the next progression. Made for practice sessions, band rehearsals, and bonfires.
