Common Chord Progressions

On Thursday, March 20th, 2025, we're doing a short workshop about Common chord progressions everyone should know. This will be lively, interactive, and a lot of fun.

6:30-7:00 p.m.

In popular music (pop/rock/folk/blues and more), there are common chord progressions. Knowing these chord progressions will make it easier to:

• Accompany yourself as you sing a song

• Play a song by ear

• Write a song

• Transpose a song into a different key

• Tell accompanists the chord progression of a song (I do this all the time at jam sessions)

  
  

  I mentioned this in our workshop on March 6th. I know. We covered a lot, and there was a lot of interest in having a follow-up session on this topic.

  Chord progressions (e.g., C, F, G or 1, 4, 5)

• Nashville numbering system for chords (e.g.,1,4,5)

• I – V – vi – IV or I – vi – IV – V  or   vi – V – IV – V or I – bVII – IV – I or IV – V – I – vi

Please bring your guitar or other instrument, as we'll be playing these progressions together.
