I've been doing ninjam & dueling with other guitar players since 2006,
see http://autosong.ninjam.com/index.php?search=gzed  ;)
There's gninjam which is a grapical version of the console client
incase you don't know here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gninjam/
Also the falk ppa for ubuntu has it already packaged.

Cheers,
