    In modal tunings, the strings are tuned to form a chord which is not definitively minor or major. These tunings may facilitate very easy chords and unique sounds when the open strings are used as drones. Often these tunings form a suspended chord on the open strings. A well known user of modal tunings is Sonic Youth. Asus2: E-A-B-E-A-E

    This simple chord progression with tonic substitutes could become iii–ii–V–vi or, with chord names, "E minor–D minorG Major–A minor". Given the overlap in notes between the original tonic chords and the chord substitutes (for example, C major is the notes "C, E, and G", and "E minor" is the notes "E, G and B"), the melody is likely ...

    [6] (major pentatonic on C: C, D, E, G, A) Contrastingly, Averill argues that the progression was used because of the potential it offered for chromatic pitch areas. [13] Variations include the addition of minor seventh chords before the dominant seventh chords, creating overlapping temporary ii–V–I relationships [14] through ii–V–I ...
