Exposure Therapy for Those That Fear Major Chords

By DESLRV on July 18, 2026 6:11 pm

There's people out there that refuse to use major chords in every song they ever touch. We'd theorize they're afraid of them and so in trying to help them out, present them with this therapeutic piece.

It's pretty simple, so it should ease these people into it without too much difficulty.

Magical. My fears are cured heart. I wouldn't say I was afraid of major chords before, but I definitely sought them out less before I listened to this.

Love the progression around 2:30 and the piano that comes in after - it's very satisfying smile

They truly are full of happiness. And so is the guitar.

Ever since I was a child major chords always sounded a bit off to me. A bit jarring, like they're out of tune. I never really heard the happy/sad part of major and minor respectively. But definitely that major sounds way more bright to my ears. So not exactly afraid of major chords and use them all time. After all you need a balance of dark and bright sounds. I do gravitate more to minor chords because they sound better to my ears. Anyway, nice little tune.

Consider us cured of the evil that are minor chords.
Be careful of 7th chords, the darkness lurks within.

fuckin LOVE major chords. beginning reminds of a track from Braid...then it gets very 'sky chase zone' especially with the eventual 'birds'. love how varied this track is, great work man!

The title says it all. But then the description says even more. And the song shines bright and proud, like a magical unicorn, guarding (or showcasing?)the fancy castle of the major chords.

Minor chords are nice at times, they have their place. Usually in the form of m7 or some sort of tension that really ought to be resolved to a major at some point.

I suppose this does say more about you than those that fear major chords, but I don't think I can change that.

They hold great power, we do not fear this power.

Many thanks, this feels like a keeper.

Major chords are certainly a force for good.

All is welcome in the garden of major chords.
