	Chord progression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A chord change is a movement from one chord to another and may be thought of as either the most basic chord progression or as a portion of longer chord progressions which involve more than two chords (see shift of level).
		The most common chords in Western classical and pop music are based on the first, fourth, and fifth scale degrees (tonic, subdominant and dominant); see three chord song, eight bar blues, and twelve bar blues.
		The chord based on the second scale degree is used in the most common chord progression in Jazz, ii-V-I. Chord progressions are usually associated with a scale and the notes of each chord are usually taken from that scale.

		Typically, the three chords used are the chords on the tonic, subdominant, and dominant ((Click link for more info and facts about scale degree) scale degrees I, IV and V): in the key of C, these would be the C, F and G chords.
		Sometimes the (Click link for more info and facts about V7 chord) V7 chord is used instead of V, for greater ((psychology) a state of mental or emotional strain or suspense) tension.
		Three-chord songs are easy for the listener to remember, which can make them effective in (Music of general appeal to teenagers; a bland watered-down version of rock'n'roll with more rhythm and harmony and an emphasis on romantic love) pop music.

	Music:Finding the Key and Mode of a Piece - Wikibooks
		Suppose we have a song and have determined it to have these chords: C, F, and G. This is a classic example of a three-chord song, of which the twelve-bar blues is a good example (but there are zillions of possible three-chord structures).
		Suppose the C chord occurs often and it is also the first and last chord in the song — it is probably the I chord, because the tendency is to begin on the I chord, move around a bit, and come back ("resolve") to the I chord.
		Notes outside of a scale in a song are rare and usually stand out (sometimes to good effect and sometimes to bad effect, depending somewhat on your musical tastes); if a note is used often it is part of the scale.

		For example, all the notes of all the chords in the key of G are made up entirely of the notes of the G-major scale (G A B C D E F# G).
		The C chord is called the 4 chord in the key of G because it is based on the fourth note of the G-major scale.
		The 1 chord, the tonic, is usually the last chord of the song.

	Chords
		To make chords on the guitar, you need to place you fingers on different strings, so that when you play all the strings, the notes that sound are all in the chord.
		Lets look at this starting with the 6th string, the low E. E is in the C chord and so you could play this string, but usually we like to keep the lowest note in a chord we are playing to be the root note of the chord.
		Notice that for D chords we usually don’t play the top two strings, this is because the lowest D on the guitar is the 4th string.

		Many experts take the early Beatles' song "Not A Second Time" for a weak member of the group's songbook, mainly because of the inconsistencies between Lennon's lyrics and his voicing of the song lines.
		These three chords also happen to be the so-called basic chords: tonic, subdominant and dominant.
		It is based on the chord progression: Bm - G - D - A. Almost instantly the song opens with this sequence and then it keeps on going over and over again till the end.

	minstrel: Re: minstrel-digest V1 #544
		The tonic or I chord is the key the song is in.
		The other chord (in a two-chord song) is the dominant, or V chord.
		So the chord pairs are A - E7, C - G7, E - B7, etc. A three chord song adds the IV chord: A - D - E7, C - F - G7, E - A - B7, and so on.

		But with the song "Territorial Pissings," it didn't matter how simplistic the song was, what mattered was the way this song was presented to the world.

		These three are C, F and G. This combination is not unusual for a traditional song and the history of "Amazing Grace" really goes a way back.
		Here it is the C chord with the c at its root, the e on the third and the g on the fifth.

		For example the song "Anthem" by Rush was based upon the short story of the same name written by Ayn Rand, a prolific individualist writer, about a person in the future who learns about being an individual in a world where people are known by numbers instead of names.
		ELP (Emerson, Lake and Palmer) took a more lighthearted approach to their concept songs, writing a long concept about a half-armadillo / half-tank named Tarkus and how it progresses through its life and encounters and fights with other strange beasts like the Manticore, a large half-lion / half scorpion.

		Of course, many songs have fouror five-chord progressions, but the major movement even in most of those is through the tonic, subdominant, and dominant chords.
		When using the number system displayed on the chart, a three-chord song might be called a 1-4-5 (if that's the order the chords are played in).
		When you play chords up the neck, though, or any chord where you're fretting all the strings, it's much easier to chop off the notes wherever you want to by simply raising your fingers a tad.

	Silent Night by David Hodge
		There are three essential things to playing in solo fingerstyle - melody, bass and "accompaniment." You want the melody of the song to ring out, if for no other reason than letting people know what the song is! The bass and accompaniment, usually chord arpeggios, should enhance your presentation - adding color and texture.
		Those of you who are truly adventurous might try the third arrangement, where we go from the D to the Dmaj7 to the D7 (and yes, this is just like we did in the lesson, "Fire").
		The fourth line of the song ("holy infant so tender and mild") consists of a repeat of measures nine through eleven, finished off with an arpeggio of the normal G chord.

		Fingering and playing a chord may come quite easily to some, but the chances are that sense of ease disappears pretty quickly when faced with more and more chord changes within a song.
		So, we're going to start out with our D chord and then simply remove our index and middle fingers from the strings (all the while keeping the ring finger firmly in place) in preparation of placing them on their new positions on the G chord.
		Each chord has its bass note on a different string: the open D for the D, the open A for the "A" and the G note on the third fret of the low E string for the G chord.

		The chord changes simply move back and forth between A minor (the tonic chord) and F major via G major (Figure 39 below).
		The G major chord plays a vital role because, although it serves in a transient capacity only, its presence turns what would otherwise be a relatively weak third progression (Am – F) into a pair of strong second progressions.
		As for harmonic contrast, because the G major chord is transient, the song spends about half of its time in minor mode, the other half in major.

		The C chord diagram has a little five next to it because, you guessed it, that chord is played at the fifth fret and the D chord has a seven next to it because we play that chord at the seventh fret.

		While it's easy to look at a song when it's written down and say that we are going to play so many measures of a G chord and so many measure of a D chord it's another thing entirely to walk into a jam and pick up the chord progression by ear.

	Abandoned Luncheonette - Hall and Oates
		The rhythm guitar pervades the chords of all the verses, playing in a constant open-G tuning (instead of letting the acoustic guitar dominate the track, as so many soft-rock groups do).
		Two other songs are potential hits: "She's Gone" (a song with a super-hook), and "Las Vegas Turnaround" (about a man who doesn't want everyone to "come on and fly" his stewardess girlfriend).
		On the former, Hall and Oates show off the wide range of their vocal technique, and their arranging skill, which creates an intriguing cresscendo that (surprisingly) leads back to the verse instead of the hook.

		For instance the G chord is voiced (from string 6 to 1) G,B,D,G,B,G. Only G (root), B (3rd) and D (5th) letter names are used but there are two 3rds (B) and three roots (G) in addition to the one 5th (D).
		The root of the I chord is a common tone with the IV chord (it is the 5th of the IV chord) and can be kept in the lowest voice as the other two notes of the I chord move up one scale degree to become the correct notes for the IV chord.
		C to Am (root movement down a 3rd), the non-common tone 'g' (fifth of the C chord) moves up to 'a' (root of the Am chord) the other notes (c and e) are common to both chord and don't move.

		And it does not have three chords, it has four, and the fourth chord is arguably the most important of all, one without which this song simply would not be itself.
