Bittersweet Shoegaze Chords

A shoegaze chord progression that I've been sitting on for a while. If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen this one in one of my stories. It's a fun progression to jam over top of - especially while doing melodies with the glide strumming / picking technique. The bittersweet part of this progression comes from the minor iv chord. Don't really hear that one too much in shoegaze but I think it sounds really good here. Enjoy!

Just as I’m listening to Alcest. Perfection. Also that Jag is beaut.
