Really cool project. I love the animations that go with the songs.

I’d go through all of the chord progressions and make sure they actually match what is being played. There are quite a few errors. Happens to everyone.

Also, you and everyone else should remember that while the band is mostly playing power chords and omitting the fifths, what Cobain sings is part of the chord as it’s heard. This means that, for example, a lot of songs do sound major, Smells like teen spirit is probably in F minor.

I find determining key in popular music to be tricky. Most progressions consist of something like 4 chords, and there isn’t the teleology you see in something like Tin Pan Alley or Chopin to give the sense of where one is to arrive. Even the Axis of Awesome progression can be heard a major or minor depending on how you end the song.

Bill bailey converts songs to minor so it all sounds like funeral dirges, like happy birthday and god save the queen.
