Find people to jam with near you

The short answer: JoinMyJam is where musicians discover live jam sessions nearby, start their own, and keep the session organized while it happens — with a song library, chord and scale dictionaries, and free practice tools around it. Joining a friend's live jam by room code takes one tap — no account needed in rooms that allow guests.

The group chat says "we should jam sometime." Nobody picks a date, a place, or a setlist — so it never happens. JoinMyJam is where "sometime" becomes Thursday at 8: a place to browse public jam events near you, or to start your own and let local musicians come to you. It is built for real-life jam sessions, music meetups, and musicians who want to play together.

How it works

1. Find a jam or start your own. Jump into public jam events, or create a session and invite other musicians. If a friend is already playing, typing their room code joins their live jam in one tap.
2. Bring the music together. The jam room manages the live song queue, keeps chat in one place, and keeps everyone in sync — every player sees the same song at the same time.
3. Keep the jam going. The group chat, next-date poll, and setlist live on between sessions, so this week's jam books next week's.

Everything around the jam

• Jam rooms — real-time shared rooms with a song queue, chat, and live sync.
• Songs and chords — a searchable song library with chords, lyrics, and tabs.
• Music tools — a tuner, metronome, looper, and YouTube loop player, collected on one tools page.
• Friend activity — follow musicians, share sessions, and see what your friends are playing.

Free practice tools

The practice tools are free for everyone — no paywall and no sign-up: a tuner with live pitch detection for string instruments, a metronome with tap tempo, time signatures and accents, a chord dictionary and scale dictionary with fingering diagrams, and a looper with the GrooveMaker beat machine.

Frequently asked questions

Is JoinMyJam free? Yes. Browsing jams, the song library, and every practice tool are free. Creating an account is free too.

How does the site make money if everything is free? From advertising shown on some pages, and from donations by users who choose to support it. This is a commercial site trying to cover its costs without charging for the tools — the full explanation.

Do I need a separate app for each tool? No. The tuner, the metronome, the loopers and the chord and scale dictionaries all run in the browser, on desktop and mobile, collected on one tools page. Nothing to install and nothing to update.

Do I need an account to join a jam? Not when a friend gives you their room code and the room allows guests — joining that way takes one tap, with no account. Private and members-only rooms do ask you to sign in, and an account also lets you create jams, save songs, and keep preferences.

What can I do here besides jamming? Search a full song library with chords and lyrics, look up chord and scale fingerings for guitar, bass, ukulele and piano, tune up, practise with the metronome, and loop a YouTube video to learn it section by section.

How do I find a jam near me? Browse the public jam events on the site — each shows its location, style tags, and whether it is live right now. The find-a-jam guide explains how to pick one.
