Creating Music with Chord Progressions

A chord progression is a group of chords that you use to create music. Some chord progressions just sound better than others, so it pays to experiment. The following table, which shows commonly used major-key chords and the other chords they often lead to, can help you in deciding which chords will come next in your compositions.

Chord	Leads To
I	Can appear anywhere and lead anywhere
ii	I, V, or vii° chords

IV	I, ii, V, or vii° chords
V	I, vi chords
vi	I, ii, iii, IV, or V chords
