🕑 Added 2022-07-27 06:06:18 +0000 UTCSo, I am working out popular chord progression in DAEAC#E and FACGCE tuning for the next book update.
Check this out:
FACGCE songs
Standards Smile: IV - V - vi - I
Covet Parachute: IV - IV - I
TMP You Lost Me: IV - I - vi - I
American Football Never Meant: IV - V - vi - I
DAEAC#E songs
TMP Always Focused: - IV - vi - I
TMP Caution: I/IV - V - vi - I
TMP Dakota: IV - I - vi - I
TMP Sundress: V - I - IV
Algernon Cadwallader Spit Fountain: V - I - IV - I - vi
Sleepy Dog Screamers: I/IV - I/V - vi
Mountains Stride: IV - vi - IV/V - I/V
So yeah, all the songs are just variations of the 'axis' chord progression lol No wonder why they are all catchy songs.
Not even a iii chord in there once! lol

Certainly! That's the beauty of them, they give you some colour on a canvas to get yoy started so to speak. Better to lean into the sound of the tuning than fight against it. The open strings that are used determine a lot of the chords. I'm working on giving some examples of this in the ebook update. π
Not so surprising I guess. Does the "weird" tuning contribute to the songs not sounding like a typical progression?
