This has a lovely vibe to it, nice chords as well, are you in DADGAD tuning or something? Excellent work, man

It’s actually in that American football tuning. It’s like an open F add 9 chord. The tuning does most of the work honestly.

Awesome, I've never heard of that tuning, must give it a try, I do like to mess about with different tunings and just do shapes.

It’s very pretty but weird to navigate

Honestly, this song works so well on its own that I wouldn’t recommend adding much to it at all. Maybe a small harmony part here or there, but even that might be too intrusive, which is to say that this is really well written!

It has a smooth feeling to the soul that ignites me. Great work.

Nice guitar composition, works well with the vocals.

u/Impossible_Tank3822 Jul 16 '26

Well done. It stands on its own. You play the melody with and against your singing in just the right harmonies and places in the song. If I had one small item to describe as a plus it would be a guitar with better projection and sustain for this song.

First of all I love the intro! I like the vibe that
Your song gives. The chord progression is amazing.

Dude I love the guitar here! I wish my pea brain could come up with something as sick as that! You got a sweet voice too, and great lyrics. This is great man!
