Background : My band are writing a song, and there is disagreement over the chord sequence to use.
The Music : We have vocal and bass melodies that play with the following notes : E, D, B, A and G.
The chords the guitarist originally had behind this are all major chords : E, G, A and B, in that order.
Question : We know that this sequence of chords is theoretically wrong, however, the guitarist thinks it sounds way better than starting with an E minor (e.g Em, G, A and or other suggestions such as playing open strings on the A and B (e.g Em, G, x02200 and x24400).
The bassist thinks the last option sounds best, but the guitarist thinks it sounds 'dead' and wrong, even though he knows its more theoretically correct than the first chord sequence (with all the majors) which sounds really good to him.
Is someone right and someone wrong? Is there an answer?
