Questions about Neo-Classical Drama

What chords are in the Neo-Classical Drama progression?

The Neo-Classical Drama preset uses Gmin → Cmin → D7 → D#maj. It loads straight onto the fretboard in the Studio, along with the tuning and scale this genre is built around.

Why does the D7 sound so tense in a G minor progression?

Because it's the dominant (V) of G minor, and its major third — F♯ — is the raised leading tone that pulls hard toward G. That's the harmonic-minor sound: borrowing a major V chord in a minor key to make the resolution feel inevitable, a device baroque composers leaned on constantly.
