When I talk to individuals who I esteem as good at music, they will tell me to use regular chords and chord progressions ( like C F C G or whatever the most prominent chord progressions are these days) but I want to use crazy chords that are abnormal. Admittedly don't usually sound great. Should I pursue the chords I want to, or lean into the more basic chords for the musical stability of knowing that it won't sound super bad?
