Lesson Description:

In my last two lesson videos I covered twelve of the most common chord progressions.

Understanding the theory of common chord progressions helps us:

1. learn songs and progressions faster,
2. remember chord progressions longer,
3. and write our own progressions with ease.

This third lesson of my four-lesson mini-series covers eight more of the most common progressions.

These are progressions that include four chords or more.

I bet you'll recognize most of these right away!
