Common mistakes
- Chords: rich chords simplified (a Cmaj9 shown as C), a bass note mistaken for the root, or a quick passing chord missed.
- Lyrics: misheard words, backing vocals mixed into the lead line, or a line placed a little early or late.
- Beat and bars: songs that speed up or slow down, have free rhythm, or use meters like 6/8 can confuse the bar layout, the loop snapping and the count-in.
- Separation: a trace of one part in another (why).
What you can do
- Trust your ears. Loop the passage and slow it down to check what’s really played (practise a difficult passage).
- Solo the part you’re checking: a chord is often clearer on the solo bass, guitar or piano part.
- Tell us. In Jam, open Account and choose Send feedback. Include the song’s title and the time where it goes wrong. Reports like these show us where to improve.
Can I edit chords or lyrics?
Not yet. Chords, lyrics and the beat can’t be edited in Jam today.
