Five Chord Types: major, minor, dominant, diminished, augmented Some Common Chord Progressions: Practice all progressions in at least three chord inversions. I, IV, V, I or I, IV, V7, I (e.g., Me and Bobby McGee, I'll Fly Away, most Country and rock songs) I, II7, V7, I or I, IIm, V7, I (e.g., Hey Good Lookin', You're Cheatin' Heart, Sweet Dreams) I, VIm IIm, V7, I or I, VIm, IV, V, I or I, IIIm, IV, V, I (e.g., Blue Moon, A Summer Song, most do-wops) I, I7, IV, IVm, I, V7 (e.g., Home On The Range, Could I Have This Dance, Blue Spanish Eyes) I, I#dim, IIm, V7, I (e.g., Ain't Misbehavin', Georgia On My Mind, Till There Was You, jazz turnarounds) I, (III7,) VIm, IIm, V7, I "Circle of Fifths" (e.g., Has Anybody Seen My Gal, All of Me, Anytime) I, III7, IV or I, III7, VIm (e.g. Stand By Your Man, The More I Drink, Twilight Time, Abilene) I, IV, IIIm, VIm, V7, I (e.g., Help Me Make It Through The Night, Got No Reason Now For Going Home) Some Common Chord Substitutions: Chord inversions Chord extensions and chord simplifications (e.g. G, G7, G9, G11, G13, G7#5, triads thereof, etc.) Circle of fifths, secondary dominants (e.g. III > VI > II minor seventh or dominate > V dominant > I major) Walk ups and downs (e.g. using chords in harmonized scale, using diminished or augmented chords) Chord suspensions (e.g. G7sus4 to G7) Relative major and minor chord substitutions (e.g. C and Am; G and Em) Substitutions of chords a fourth higher, or chords a half step above/below Chord sharing notes in common (e.g. use Ab as well as C when "c" whole note is played) Diminished 7th Chords (e.g., a third above a dominant chord) Some Common Sense Rules: Resolve dissonance/tension with consonance/resolution; songs almost always begin/end on the I chord Notes in chord extensions should complement the melody Dominate (V7) chords effectively resolve to chords five steps below (or four steps above); minor seventh chords may precede many chords, but also frequently resolve to dominate chords five steps below. Chord progressions sound better when individual chord notes transition step wise in the same direction. www.DonCody.com/Resources/Chord_Workshop.pdf
