Looking for some shoegaze inspo?
This open tuning progression is a great place to start. It’s an example of how an open or alternate tuning can do most of the harmonic work while fretted notes create a solid drone effect.
Grab a free shoegaze guitar sample pack and chord chart with our link in bio.

I gave myself 30 minutes and zero samples to make a beat from scratch no prep, no cutting, you see the whole thing. Ngl, I almost didn’t post this one lol
Drop a comment (or check the pinned one) and let me know if this beat deserves to become a full song. If enough of you are with it, I’ll finish it.
