As Deej says, you pound in the earworm of a hook.

I love the dobro and mandolin sneaking in to play tasty licks.

I've got Jamstix, and wish I could figure it out. Every time I load it up, I just get frustrated and end up using something else. I just can't wrap my head around it.

I'm guessing the singer is Suno, because she sings "ever mile leads me back", which looks like a typo, not the sort of error a human singer would make.


Jamstix isn't the easiest but the more you work with it the more you realize all the things it can do. I'm just scratching the surface with it.

Well, you're wrong. I haven't used Suno in a long time. My subscription (experiment) expired and it was starting to pop out stuff that was sounding like everything else. I'd suggest listening again and more closely. She pulls back on the "vree" syllable but it's there. Just like she drops her "g" slightly in "driving" .

Thanks for listening as closely as you do.
