Melody and groove is what leaves a lasting impression. Most of the most cherished classic songs are basic diatonic stuff.

I thought this was about Max Holloway
Maybe instead of playing the full triad chords on the distorted guitars u could replace them with 5 power chords and double stops(the 1 and the 3 of the chord your replacing)

Absolutely, feel free to break up chord notes between instruments or in other ways.
Quick question. Why does it say "iv (min)" if "iv" already indicates that it's minor? This is a question I've had for a while, but I don't know musicians and composers personally, so I've never asked. I figured because I've seen this sort of thing before and I'm seeing in this video, perhaps you could answer this for me.
@WriteASong

That indicates the key it has been borrowed from. I could also have borrowed from the Phrygian mode, in which case it would be iv (phr). Or Locrian and it would have been iv (loc). I hope that helps.

@@WriteASong Alright. That makes sense. I'm aware of phr and loc, as well as the other mode indications. I suppose I should've put that together with min. Anyway, thanks for answering my question.
