Are chords used in electronc music?

[Joxe]

Hi,

I would like to know if the chords are commonly used in electronic music and especially house music, given that this type of music seems to emphasize the drums and the bassline.

Best regards,

For that authentic 1989 sound, sample a minor chord and play it with one finger at different pitches.

Quoted from the liner notes of Techno 2: The Next Generation (1990):
"If Kevin Saunderson ever runs out of sunglasses he can go spotting Good Life chords with his lawyer."

chords are lame, you need to do arpeggios to make good electronic music

only if you can hear it when it is no so (often)

Here's a good advice:

Just try chords on one track in combination with an arpeggiated sound on other track,
then, just ... listen!!
You yourself should decide, what you like most!
And you for yourself should define, what house-music is!

If you don't agree, just try to google: "house-music / step by step / manual" (.. just kidding ..)

A power-fifth, son, a power-fifth. That's all the chords you need to know right there.

thirds are for girls
