A quick question, then: I'm writing a song in which I want to insert an eight-bar late 60's/early 70s style psychadelic guitar break. The song itself is basically contemporary country.

My question is, having never written anything in the psychadelic style and being somewhat less than familiar with its inner workings, are there specific chord progressions in that style I should be looking at using, or is it just a matter of interpreting the usual chords that one might use in a song in a specific way (which would be more up to the session player and I'm off the hook for figuring it out). The song is in G.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. I've missed you guys!

Welcome back ! Missed you on this forum. Glad you`re doing OK. I`ll let others more well versed in songwriting answer your question but it`s good to hear from you.
