When I analysed many of my favorite Porcupine Tree songs over several albums, I found out a clear pattern.

One chord is always being used to write all of their major songs. One single chord.

That chord is... a simple Open D Major chord.

Steven Wilson uses variations on this chord on so many songs, it's impossible to name them all.

In this video, I explore all the variations he made on this chord to write multiple Porcupine Tree songs.

Songs I covered:

- Even less
- Pure Narcotic
- Baby Dream In Cellophane
- Four Chords That Made A Million
- Blackest Eyes
- Sound of Muzak
- Trains
- Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
- Mellotron Scratch
- Fear Of A Blank Planet
- Occam's Razor
- Time Flies
... and of course there are so many more, but I couldn't cover ALL of them!

I hope it's going to inspire you, because they were able to write dozens amazing songs with all the same sets of musical resources!

Enjoy!
