Chords ARE boring. People tends to get waaay too technical, and write chord symbols all over the place.

The important part is HOW you play them. A chord sheet may chart out familiar chords and progressions, but when playing the song, musicians omit and add to them. THAT's the exciting stuff.

Greatness is found in what you omit, because you can hear.. oooh now he's in the middle of a cliché, you know what to expect, and then BANG, a surprise note, taking the song a different place, making a hook, opening a fresh pool of interpretations cool

If you omit half the notes from the regular chords, and then notate it, it'll look like you've got some serious composing skillz laugh
