[F] [Gm] Welcome [Bb] to Eric Blackman Music
[N] Hi and [E] welcome to my chord progression tutorial
The guitar's tune standard E, [A] A, [D] D, [G] G, B, [Em] E
Our first question is what is a chord progression?
A chord progression or harmonic [N] progression
is a series of musical chords or chord changes
that aims for a definite goal of establishing
or contradicting a tonality founded on a key, root, or tonic chord
and that is based upon a succession of root relationships
Now in simple terms what that means is that
when we pick chords for a song
we want to choose the ones that sound good together
This is easy if we use the major scale order of chords
As you can see on this major scale chord chart
we have the I chord which comes from the first note of the scale
the second, third degree, fourth degree, fifth degree, sixth degree, and seventh degree
The I, IV, and V chords are always major
The II, III, and VI chords are minor
and the seventh chord is always diminished
For instance, let's pick a line from the chart
[G] Let's use the one on the bottom, the G major scale
or the G chord progression scale
G is the first chord which is the I major
[C] The IV major is C
and [D] the V major is D
Many songs consist of just those three [G] chords
Those [C]
[D] [G]
[Em] are the three majors
Now if we add the relative minor which is on line number 6
we'll have an E minor chord
that'll [G] sound like this
[C] [D]
[Em] [Bb] Now we can play these chords in any order
So we can start [D] with D for instance [C] C
then [Em] go to E minor
[G]
[E] If we wanted to add flavor
we could go to the II minor chord for instance
[Am] and play A minor
or the III minor chord which is B minor
[Bm] So
[G] that would sound something like this
Now [C] [D] [Em]
[Am] [Bm] [G]
[C] this works with any line on our chart
If we went to C major
we could play the majors and they would sound this way C F
[F] [G]
If we added the VI minor
we would use [Am] A minor
and D minor for the [Dm] II
or the II minor
Our [E] key is C [C] major
and [Am] our relative minor key is A minor
which is always the 6th degree of the scale
Now as I said before
we can do this in any key
as long as we follow the major scale
It doesn't matter if the key is a normal key
sharp key or flat key
It works the same way
if we follow the major scale order
Well that's it for now
[Bb] Thanks for stopping by
and have a great day
