Jam Session
In jam sessions, players perform songs together using the
Wii Remote and Nunchuk to play instruments. When your
performance is finished, you can save your jam session.
What's a Jam Session?
Each player plays his or her own part and instrument, then combines with other
players in a band to perform music. In Wii Music, that's called a "jam session."
Up to four players can enjoy "jamming" together. With six parts in each song,
parts not played by players are performed automatically by a Tute helper.
(Note: you can also remove parts or replace Tutes with Mii performance data
from a previous Custom Jam.)
Everyone plays a different part...
but plays together to make a single song!
The Be-Bops are rhythm guides that bounce in
time to the music. They'll also signal the
beginning, end, and changes
In jam sessions, you can turn on a music-flow guide (see next page) to get a sense of how
to play your instrument, especially for songs or instruments that you're unfamiliar with.
But even if a music-flow guide is turned on, you do not need to play along with it.
Feel free to change how you play to create a unique jam with your style!
