Do you have any tips in regards to exploring new crazy and wacky chords out there that sound good?
yes. here's the best trick i can think of: the more you think about the whole situation, the better the chords get. figure out the whole reason for the song's existence. if it's in a movie, think about the whole story. if the song is in a restaurant, think about the restaurant and the location of the restaurant and everything about it. if the song is on a train, think about where the train goes. if the song is in your real life, think about your real life. that's where you'll find where all the deepest chords seem to mean everything. However, if you focus on just the chords, you'll find, bizarrely, none of them seem to feel like anything
