pretty shocking stuff.

with all of 5 major chord shapes on a guitar and a whopping 12 tones to an octave i really can't see how ANYONE might ever end up sounding like someone else.... i mean a pop star with chord based hooks for her chorus ends up with melodies that sounds like a band that based their entire existence on chord based hooks? unpossible....
I argue this a lot but the more music I listen to, and the more music technology improves, the more I realize what a hell of a lot of original ways there are to do the same thing.
