Ticket 7: Avoid Using All Three Major Chords Early In The Song

Delaying the introduction one of the 'big three' (I, IV, V) automatically rules out many cliched chord progressions and can create some tonal ambiguity if you're working in a mode.

Ask Me Why, Blackbird, Carry That Weight, Get Back, Honey Pie, It's Only Love, Julia, Piggies, The Long And Winding Road, There’s A Place

Also 505 (Arctic Monkeys), Mad Sounds (Arctic Monkeys), Walk On The Wild Side (Lou Reed)
