Today on Roof Speeds and Gear we check out the JAMI digital guitar.
[Bb] [Am] Having been funded on an
Indiegogo campaign initially, the [D] JAMI MIDI [Am] digital electric guitar has been kind of [G] taking
that world by storm and [Am] it's a pretty cool little piece of digital innovation.
Now the [G] JAMI is
shaped like a guitar to be familiar to [Am] people that play guitar that are looking to expand
their [G] production.
So this is not meant to [C] replace an electric [Em] guitar or traditional guitar [Bm] in any
sense.
This is a [Am] MIDI controller that can do a ton of other things [G] that most MIDI controllers cannot
do.
Now when you look at the JAMI [C] there are four main pieces.
There is an undercarriage, [D] there are
a piece on each side of the main body, [Am] and there's the neck.
And all of these come apart and you can
put them in your [G] bag for a total space of like 17 inches or something like that.
These [Am] definitely
can fit in a carry-on for example.
Then you put them all [G] together and you have, [Am] you know,
things like a quarter inch out so you can make guitar [G] sounds with this natively without the app,
which we [Am] will get to in a second.
But if you want to just plug this into your fractal axe effects
[G] and strums and power chords you [A] can do that.
[Gb] [E] [A]
[E] But to [Am] call this a digital guitar is kind of [G] selling
it a little short I think.
Really this is [C] a super expressive MIDI controller and what I mean by that
is [Bm] traditionally with a MIDI controller you have something usually [Am] in the form of a keyboard or
something like that and [G] you are plotting MIDI and playing various things into your DAW and just
writing MIDI [Am] that way.
So with the JAMI you can plug it [G] straight into your computer and bring up
any old MIDI instrument [E] you want and make all sorts of weird noises if you want to.
[Em]
[G] [Bm]
[G] So I am no expert
on MIDI or MIDI controllers [C] or making things with MIDI instruments and my [Bm] collection of MIDI
instruments is not that extensive.
[Am] So what I ended up doing was calling my good friend Josh Wildhorn,
Drag [G] Dunder Guitarist and sometimes co-host of Riffs Beards and Gear, [Em] and Josh was nice enough
to come over and let us [D] use, let me use, his East West collection of all [Am] sorts of cool stringed
instruments and we [G] basically spent an afternoon, a short afternoon, honestly it was about [Am] an hour
and a half, two hours, and we came up with a very [D] very short orchestral section [G] of Happy Birthday
because [Am] it was recently my birthday and he wanted to kind of pay tribute [C] to that.
[G] [C]
[F] [C] So we used the
JAMI and we created a short orchestral arrangement of Happy Birthday.
[G]
[C] [F]
[C]
[G] If you are a guitar player [C] and
you like the idea of maybe adding more [D] things to your arrangement when you're recording or simply
[C] you want another tool [Am] with which to express [G] yourself, definitely check out the JAMI guitar.
It's a really unique take and feel on [Am] something as old as MIDI so it's pretty [G] refreshing.
I know
it looks a little out there compared to a [Am] traditional electric guitar but the steel
strings, they feel good.
[G] Strumming it feels like you are [Am] strumming something from the 80s which I
actually kind of dig.
The [G] vibe of the JAMI is super super cool and right now [Am] as of this filming
it is on sale for 450 bucks but I think normally it's about [D] $499 so it's something to keep in mind.
[C] Anything else I am missing?
USB-C [Bm] connectivity [D] which I like, master volume, [Am] the app is super
cool.
You can do all [G] sorts of things like make it an electric guitar, an acoustic guitar, and you can
even [C] change tunings within the app.
You can do eight string guitar, you can do [Bm] all sorts of open
[D] tunings, and things like that.
There's [Am] just a lot going on with the JAMI and I think the [G] price point
is about right for something with this many [Am] options.
So if you're into MIDI, virtual instruments,
strings, [G] horns, flutes, [Em] woodwind, etc.
etc.
[Am] definitely check out the JAMI.
I found it pretty fun.

You've been wonderful,
I've been Fluff.
Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you next time.
