Similarity of plucked melodies in trance music

  • well of course they are simillar! ... if u only use 4 chords for a track and build any kind of cadence it will always sound simmilar! ... only thing you could change is the way you play the notes ... but as in every music there are recurring schemes ...


    useless thread.

  • It's not exactly the chords, it's much more the rhythm. 4 punctuated eights followed by 2 straight eights, very typical and frequently used scheme. And this one with two alternating notes that change only every second bar. Chords are actually rather different in most tracks. But this rhythm keeps people going crazy and causes a specific mood. Nevertheless, I'd appreciate any producer who tries not to use this scheme everytime ;)
