@hikari V-vi-IV-I-vi-viio ? Not sure I recognise the full progression (obviously the first four are an "axis of awesome" progression)

I'd suggest also experimenting with root+seventh, e.g., here are two ways to do a ii-V-I

xxxx75 (play with middle + pinky)
xxx4x5
xxxx54

xxx11x12
xxxx1211 (notation fail)
xxx9x11

You can get smoother voice leading with descending fifths if you don't insist on the root being lowest, but I'll let you figure that out

@shift_reset noted, i'll come back to this! the content of the tweet is a transcription of an attempt at figuring out a chord progression from memory for a highly familiar song, without any training in functional harmony, roman numeral chords or chord progressions in general whatsoever. once i have finished that attempt at making sense of that song, i am going to listen to it for the first time in a while and see how badly i messed it up ^^;
