When I was first learning to play guitar and bass, picking up songs meant rewinding a tape over and over again or manually repositioning the needle. Then you would have to pick out the part you were learning in a typically heavily layered production. With the digital age you can at least manipulate the playback to only hear the sections you want and repeat at will … but the rest gets tricky.
Enter Jammit. Jammit is a service that provides you with everything you need to learn a song – sheet music with full professional transcriptions, tablature as well as standard notation, and audio that is tracked out to allow you to focus on each separate instrument. It is pretty amazing stuff and works with the artists themselves to ensure accuracy. Here are some details on how it all works:

That is a fairly dry process, really the best way to see how beneficial this would be for learning songs is to see it in action. Here is a video showing how the system works with the newly released ‘Tom Sawyer’ by Rush:
The songs cost between $1.99 and $3.99 each, with some songs on sale for $0.99. Also, as part of the free download you get a Rush song as a demo to try things out!
