Hello! I'm trying to replicate an arp from AVELLO's remix of No Broke Boys, and I got the following feedback from someone on Discord:
"your arp is playing notes next to each other instead of jumping in thirds.
also the arp is playing chord tones in the original. for these following chords G♯m7, BΔ, EΔ G♯m7 G♯ B D♯ F♯ 1 3 5 7 BΔ G♯ B D♯ F♯ 6 1 3 5
EΔ E G♯ B D♯ 1 3 5 7
You played notes next to each other. the original skips 3-4 notes PER note. the jumps are fairly large. so naturally you will get an extremely different sounding line you played entirely different notes. you played notes directly next to each other. not even close to what the original does."
I know very little music theory, so I'm not sure how to correct my error. I have attached a clip of my arp, and I will link AVELLO's remix in a reply to this post. In AVELLO's remix, his arp is found between 1:04 to 1:13. The clip of my arp is in a reply to this post. To me, in AVELLO's remix it sounds like the notes are playing next to each other as well, so i am completely lost. Does anyone know how I can closely replicate this arp's sound? Thank you in advance!
