Chord Progression

When one begins to compose and doesn't know much of music theory, try to play some chords as a mad, some of them sound well, with movement and strong but others sound awful.

As I said in Major Scales and Minor Scales there are some recommended chords for every key because they share notes. Let's take a look at this charts.

There are many famous progressions, for example, see the following from the link Chord progression:

• I - IV - V - V. (The basis of Ritchie Valens' "La Bamba", this progression also provides the refrain of Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone", The Isley Brothers' "Twist and Shout", and The Beatles's "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".)
• I - I - IV - V. (Millie Small's "My Boy Lollipop" (usually credited to Robert Spencer, Morris Levy, and Johnny Roberts), "Heartbeat" (written by Bob Montgomery and Norman Petty for Buddy Holly), The Rolling Stones' "Get Off Of My Cloud" (refrain), Paul Simon's "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes", Van Morrison's "Madame George", The Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop")
• I - IV - I - V. (Common in Elizabethan music (Scholes 1977), this also underpins the American college song "Goodnight Ladies", is used the exclusive progression used in Kwela,^[12] and Solomon Linda's "Mbube"/"Wimoweh"/"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" among many others.)
• I - IV - V - IV. (Chip Taylor's/The Troggs' "Wild Thing", "Louie Louie", etc.)

 If you want experience some others progressions see GuitarChorder 1.1. It includes a program to build your own progression and hear it in some styles.
