A
chord progression is simply a series of chords played in order. As you play
more songs, you’ll see more and more chord progressions and patterns used over
and over again in your favorite tunes.
For
example, a “2-5-1″ is a very popular chord progression that is commonly used,
among many things, to end songs. You’ll find it at the end of an overwhelming
amount of songs in all genres.
In
our courses, we cover several chord progressions as these are what make of
everyday songs.
In
closing, remember these very easy set of rules:
Notes
create scales (major scales, minor scales, etc)
Scales
allow us to create chords (major chords, minor chords, diminished chords,
augmented chords, etc)
Chords
played one after the other in various sequences create chord progressions
(“2-5-1″ chord progressions, “6-2-5-1″ turnaround, etc)
Chord
progressions played in various sequences create the songs we hear everyday!
