The main learning companion software is the Jamstik Portal for iOS and Google Chrome, which should provide essentially 15+ of your first guitar lessons, plus plenty of extra replayable content like the interactive scrolling tab player. Once you graduate and learn the basics in the Jamstik Portal, we recommend honing your skills with education apps like Corridor Music, Flat.io or Soundtrap!
