Huh, you're totally right! In fact, in bar 26 I do the same thing as in 30. I imagine one of these things happened:
- I accidentally wrote the wrong chord and did not notice;
- I chose this chord because of -idk- chord progression, but hear nothing wrong with it.
I usually hear dissonance from a mile away, but not here surprisingly. And in the section previous to it, I DO use a D chord instead of an A. Thanks for you analysis anyway, I had not spotted this (admittedly) weird section!
And thanks, both for your compliments and for sticking around :D. You are a true inspiration of what level I one day want to achieve.
(and in fact, I am also very curious what will happen when I use a DAW! Looking forward to it ;)
