Funny you say that I started teaching myself with alternate tunings before I ever knew there was a”standard” always just tuned to something I really liked and sounded good together Lmaoo

@@elvien8701 I also think it's cause this tuning always seems to call for the top string doing 0-4-2, I also do this, not sure why, it's just what always happens with these open tunings

lol the low quality visual loop of transportation glimpses you added to the track really adds to how the genre taps into a nostalgic division from the wonderment of youth. Reminds me of looking out a car window in the 90s, while listening to Four Minute Mile or The Power of Failing with cheap headphones and a Discman… nice touch.
