I posted some of this to another thread about tools for looping, changing keys, tempo, and other modifications to songs or jam tracks, but I thought it would be valuable here, as well.
The Spark amp comes with a smartphone app that has some very cool functionality -- but you do not need to have the Spark amp to take advantage of it. AND, there is a website version, if you do not want to add another app to your phone or tablet.
You can search for a song or jam track across YouTube or Spotify and do the following with it:
Analyze the song to produce a chord sheet
Interactively view the chords as the song is playing
Change tempo
Use the virtual capo
Loop portions of the song
Another feature that I really like is that you can click on a chord on the chord sheet to take you to exactly that spot on the song. This makes it really easy to go to a particular chord change without having start earlier to listen for it.
The website version is located at https://spark.positivegrid.com/home, and you can also download the smartphone app from there as well. I entered "Stormy Monday" in the search box, and found my way to the Allman Brothers version at https://spark.positivegrid.com/songs/Bqa1s4jhkQ8 . To loop a portion of the song, you can just click on each 1/4 note portion of a measure that you want looped. It's very quick, easy, and visual.
