Progressions

Why open tuning?

Genres

On this page you find an overview over chord progressions. Here it is just an alphabetic list.
You will find a more systematic approach to chord progressions in the chord progressions
lessons series and discussion of some aspects of harmony and chord progressions in the
theory lessons series.
I have chosen to include chord functions in the progression section. A major chord is a
major chord, but it can play different roles in music. Chord functions is about the various
roles a chord can have in an harmonic context (chord progression). You will find more on
chords on a basic level in the chord section in the theory lessons, and a discussion on
individual chords in the chord section (similar to this progression section).
If you choose a group of progressions, it will be a bit easier to navigate. But not all
progressions are grouped (yet).

Blues * Major * Major - Three Chord * Minor * Chord (how a chord

function in a context)
Ascending * Chord stream * Circle of fifth * Onion Shuffle *
Power Chords * Modulation * Minor walk
Intro * Bridge * Ending * Turnaround * Substitution
Modal proogressions: * Dorian * Phrygian * Lydian *
Mixolydian
More groups will be added to the list, but I have to do some sorting first ...
