SMART amp/apps
Hello: Does anyone use SMART amps (i.e. Positive Grid SPARK40) or apps that provide the TABS for songs? Of course the original method would be to learn to read sheet music and then learn to play. I just thought maybe I could hear the pros and cons to the use of the SMART tools.

I use smart tools all the time. JamUp Pro linked with Bias Amp. Keep those in the background while I play along a tab from Songsterr plus.

Hello! The JamUp Pro and Bias Amp are both from Positive Grid. Is that correct? The SPARK40 has an app that it uses for the libraries if I’m not mistaken. I’m trying to get ideas. I’ve tried to message Positive Grid and they don’t respond at all. Doesn’t make me feel too confident that in the event that I had an issue, they would be there to help me.

Yes they are from positive grid. Their smart amp has been a hell of an issue for them. Many pre-ordered as far as last November and were promised by February, most are still waiting for their amp. When people try to reach them, they don’t respond. Their I device apps are really good and worth the money though. |

I'd still like to have the same options. I could start with a decent amp so I'm happy with the sound, but obviously it would require bluetooth or some streaming capability. I'm taking lessons but I'd like to get into reading the tabs and understanding how to piece together the music. I think this would be a great alternative. The Positive Grid people are making me want to run away from them. If I can't message them and get hold of them, how would I be able to feel confident that they would help if I had problems. |

No tabs on JamUp, but you can import a song and slow it down or change the pitch. The problem is that you must own the song, if the song is DRM protected (like downloaded from Apple Music) it won’t let you import it. This is true with just about any jam style app that lets you manipulate a track to jam with it. |
