Chord progressions | Lesson 07

Chord progression is fundamental in playing the guitar, is a basic foundation of Rhytem guitar. The first thing you need to know is to find the key (key) that will be used. Example we take the key of C, ringing in the C Major Scale is CDEFGABC. from here we can see the degree of tone and look in the table below:

I	II	III	IV	V	VI	VII
C	D	E	F	G	A	B

Get the chord for a specific key:

• Take one of the key major scale terntu (example: C major scale from C key as shown in the table above)
• Look at the chord degrees I, now forms the chord of the tone I is C
• You will get the C Major and C Major Representatives have seven tones that also 
• contained in the C major scale
• See the table below to get a chord in the next degrees of C major scale

I	Major	Ionian (Major Scale)	Major, Major 7
II	Minor	Dorian	Minor, Minor 7
III	Minor	Phrygian	Minor, Minor 7
IV	Major	Lydian	Major, Major 7
V	Major	Mixolydian	Major, Dominant 7, Dominant 9
VI	Minor	Aeolian (Natural Minor Scale)	Minor, Minor 7
VII	Minor	Locrian	Diminished, Minor 7b5

Application:
There are several standard Chord Progression.

1. Blues progressions -> I-IV-V
Try playing chord C Major, F Major, G Major and then sequentially

2. Progression I-III-IV-V
C Major, E Minor, F Major, G Major. E notes here become minor because it is a minor third degree when seen from the table above.

Please try to make your own chord progressions and happy learning ...


Notes: I, IV, V are Major and II, III, VI, VII is a Minor
