First and foremost, you have to remember Jam Sessions isnt a game. Once that is clear a lot of issues can be straightened out. This title is meant to be a guitar simulator, geared towards people who are musicians, or wanna be musicians. I bought this title because I am a wanna be musician. I thought the idea was great, play the guitar when you are on the road without taking up all the space in the car. I was going to try this thing out with my dad, him playing lead me playing the rhythm through an amp. Some problems arise. First of all, the diagonal buttons work horribly. Maybe its my bigger fingers, but I cant hold the diagonal buttons at all. Also while transitioning between chords, the music cuts out. Now I play guitar and my music doesnt cut out while shifting chords. Also, the DS speakers are very tinny and cheap sounding, I have not tried playing through an amp. Lastly, there is no option to play individual strings. It would be nice to play little solo's with this bad boy, but nope, only chords. The touch controls are flawless, down strokes vs upstrokes sound as they should, different. The menu is easy to navigate through and switching chord palettes is a breeze. The song list isnt that strong, or long. More choices would have been nice. I find myself putting this aside and playing my real guitar, its easier and more rewarding. For a songwriter this title makes sense.
Try the A6 chord, there is a hidden message after the chord plays.
