Chord Progression That Focuses on F
Usually we start our progressions on the home key. In this case, the key is C, but we start on F. This is a great way to get used to hearing “modes” on guitar.

This Chord Progression Goes Between C and A minor
This progression starts in C, but modulates to A minor via the E chord. The theory sounds pretty complicated, but the shapes themselves are simple.

Swing/Jazz Style Chord Progression in D
This sound is found again and again in jazz music (Ragtime, Swing, Bebop and Dixieland styles) and is indicative of the style.

Essential Chord Progression In The Key of Am
Practice a common four-chord progression in the key of A minor. These 4 chords in the key of Am are found in countless songs in various combinations, so be sure to work it out with this chord switching training video!

Essential Chord Progression In The Key of Em
An awesome combination of chords. I like to play this one with a really slow strumming pattern that emphasizes the backbeat.
