ESSENTIAL CHORD PROGRESSIONS
Chord progressions are the basis of songwriting and also the key to learning the songs that you want to play. Whatever the style, be it rock, pop, folk, metal, and so on, there are plenty of chord sequences which are used time and time again. If you’re writing your own music you’ll no doubt be looking for flashes of inspiration for your own brand new chord sequences, but these standards can serve as a great starting point too - just try a sus chord or a ajor/minor variation to make each progression your own. Here are four classics, complete with simple backing tracks to get you underway.
