Can I learn to play Jazz On This Thing?

yes, definitely, that's what I mostly play 11 months of the year, jazz pop. like Strawberry hill, when the saints come marching in, string of pearls, strangers in the night,, and then I go say something stupid like I love you. And like a tenor sax, but much more easily, these recorders over-blow nicely, to give you a sense of improvisation and color .....

It's what we called a flute a phone in school. It hits notes. But I'm not sure it'd be good for learning jazz. I believe it's more a tool for learning notes and how they might sound.

Yes, you can. The amplifier has the outputs for four instruments or whatever else you want to connect. I haven't connected any instruments as of yet. I have only connected laptops and a kindle fire. Will be trying a keyboard later though. It's a great buy. I'm satisfied with the sound for the price.

I'm not sure what all you could or couldn't play with it, since mine was shipped to me snapped in half. mine did not come with an amp chord.

I bought it for someone else and she plays by ear, so she is not taking lessons, but if I had bought it for myself I would need a few lessons to get started.

Absolutely yes. It is a low price for a very cool little thing. Unless of course, you are getting it for musical reasons...in which case I would recommend a more professional one. It plays well enough for a costume or just for fun, but not if you're serious about learning the instrument.

For a beginner yes, I believe it is for it has the correct weight and after learning a few chords it plays very well. I just like it for just being able to pick it up and play. When you improve graduate to the next.

It says you can but I haven't messed with it yet, BECAUSE THIS RECORD PLAYER SUCKS!!! It is built cheap and it is awful. Get something from ION. They are quality and have a vinyl to mp3 output and software. Lesson learned. Cheap aint good and good aint cheap.

I'd say yes, unless your band is very loud, which they shouldn't be. It's pretty amazing how large a space you can cover with this little thing. I've used it with a quartet, and it's been fine... You can also hook up a powered sub-woofer, if you really wanted extra oomph, but for Jazz, I've never had to do that yet.

Sure. Obviously you won't have as many options for good sounds. But yeah. See if you can demo it first.

Yes you can. However, I purchased this (when I hurt my back) so I could "legitimately" practice the basics with a band because it had built-in speakers. I do not use it at any other time. It has limited sounds that are not on a PRO level quality. I have a Korg kronos and a Yamaha Motif (88 weighted keys).

You should be able to, but you would have to play the music from your computer or through Air Foil. Mine stopped working right, I never heard back from the manufacturer and I am unable to update the firmware.

Yes you can. If you have a USB port it will work. I love mine and expect to buy another one in the future hope this helps. My neighbors heard playing it in my back yard and they want one now.

Yes, it can--I do not do so but. . .. Your manual is hardly clear about anything and then usually inaccurate, lacking in necessary "essential" details, or just not relevant to using the program. But what the manual does contain is a service number: telephone them and they are amazingly "present" and willing to walk anyone--this techno-dinosaur included--through some of the most difficult of exercises. The result is always equal to the expected high quality of the Finale line. As someone who works in ethnomusicology however, my world of sound requires a few more options--like following Glass or the Kronos Quartet-like composition, or better yet, having an extended list of instrumentation (say, for Asian instrumentation, e.g., gamellin (sp), the Korean horizontal flute, etc.). I can dream. But as I do so, do call the customer service agent for Finale. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised. JAW

Just use it as a mono rig. Plug guitar into what effects you want and the JamMan the last in the chain.

You could but the tone would be lacking. Good for a jazz hollowbody but that's about it

I'm hardly a wizard but it appears that you can set (1) an instrument emulator (bass, seven string, etc) or not (2) a stomp box or not (3) an amp and (4) an effect or none. You can't stack effects/stomp boxes with just the amp.

I bought them for my daughter who is playing classical. She uses them on a old violin too. They are great, and give a really nice warm sound. I don't know about playing jazz with them. She played jazz only on the piano.
