When you play an axe (guitar, for those who don't understand) and write songs, what chords do you favor?

Bb. Can't go wrong with Bb.

G# is a close second, but Bb. Yeah.

Unless you're referring to numeric chords, in which case, I and IV present so many inexhaustable possibilities...

I favor chords like G, Em, Am. I like their sounds when I put them together. But then again, I have a little trouble with those harder chords. I just started playing in December.

I don't favor particular progression, but I do like certain keys more than others.

i like the Am, G, F progression, mostly because it is in one of the few keys I can sing in, and also because I love the minors.
