I've done a similar thing before, where you resolve a Petrushka chord by resolving the bass down a fourth. That gives it so much pop/rock chord loop grounding.
Plus the looping itself is so powerful; 100% agree with people like Patricia Taxxon and Tagg about loop analysis vs euroclassical analysis.

I avoided 7#9 chords for years cuz, I mean, it's the Hendrix chord, right? Too obvious.
So I'm really proud of myself when I use it in cool ways. Here I put the third in the bass and the guitar plays the root, #9, and b7 (spelling a minor seven chord). Doesnt sound like Purple Haze at all, hooray!!

turns out i'll listen to almost anything if there's trans people making it. I will even listen to lyrics! And I suck at hearing and understanding lyrics!! Normally I have to love the instrumental parts before I bother with lyrics, so yeah, big deal for me getting into folk-adjacent stuff.

I also listened Lex Walton's "I WANT YOU TO KILL ME" and "divorce lawyers i shaved my head" by jordaan mason a lot. Both have a lot of folk in them, which was so exciting for me! I NEVER listen to folk except live, so connecting with those albums was really special.

I'm also learning not to rely on mesa boogies so fucking much. My guitar tone got much more interesting and isn't just more late 90s early 2000s hard rock/numetal mesa boogie cronch. I love that shit, but now I use NAM profiles and run a Klone into a Bugera v22 or Vox. Switching up my cronches!

My music is intense and personal, mostly about sexual violence, abuse, trying to move forward as a person after things get burned down. I love jazz chord voicings on guitar in hard rock songs (e.g., guitar plays 3rd, 7th, and #9 while the bass plays the root).
