17 Chord Progressions That

Might just Change Your Life

(Plus 4 You might know about already)

Hello, Internet -

Here are 21 four-bar chord progressions you can use in songs in virtually every style and genre.

Will they actually change your life? Maybe. Maybe the connection we're sharing right now - you lovingly

reading a thing I lovingly crafted - is enough to count as life-changing. But either way - here are 21 varied but tried-and-tested chord progressions you can use. For each progression I've given you the chord's 'functional' names - roman numerals that show which degree of the scale the chord's root is, and also the type of chord it is.

If you're not sure what that means, don't worry. I've also given you the chords in three common keys - C,

G and E for major keys, A, D and E for minor keys - so you can use them right out of the box. Here are four quick, practical reminders, especially if you're just starting out: • Slash chords - like F/A - mean the first chord is the actual chord, the second note name indicates the bass note. • You can experiment with longer and more advanced progressions when you're ready, but repeating the same 4-bar progression throughout the verse and different one throughout the chorus - or even the same chord progression for both - is absolutely fine.

• The art of choosing a good chord progression is matching that chord progression to the mood or

vibe of your song. There's a real mix of vibes in these chord progressions - especially the last seventeen - so try them out, see what they sound like to you and choose from there. • If you want to be more adventurous, you can always play around with the progressions by changing the chords' order or replacing some of the chords with others. Lots of what you try might sound weird, and that's OK. Just keep playing around until you have something you like.

Enjoy!

different - instead of a regular diminished chord in the second measure (add the note nine half steps

above the root, e.g. C above an Eb root). If you add that note, it's also nice to use a ii7 chord instead of

regular ii.quotesdbs_dbs12.pdfusesText_18
