Are they playing lots of big special complex chords, or just simple chords and a little melody going over top? Go back to your favorite beats, and listen to their melodies… really listen to what is going on. This is because simplicity in music actually takes a lot of skill. it was simple, and it was so catchy and powerful!!” (Go and listen to some of your favorite beats you heard while growing up, and listen a little closer for what you might hear… if you know what audio painting is all about!)
