5 Out-of-the-Ordinary Chord Progressions for Songwriters (easy to hard)

Quite a good video even if one already knows the theory.

Don't get me wrong. I like the content and the presenter, but the guitar sounds out of tune. Am I wrong?

First time seeing one of her videos. Well presented and good personality!

Sottotitoli 🤔

Play these in caged forms to expand even further.🎸

You boost my passion to play again

savage stuff. youre amazing! Thanks.

Absolutely loved this lesson and the theory thrown in behind it.

OMG - 7mth old vid came into my feed at exactly the right time for me as I was geting really bored being "stuck" in key of C.
Where have you been all my life? Thanks for sharing and getting me out of the "rut"
Love ya work, I'm going to go thorough what else I have missed from you channel and needless to say I have sub'd

Such a great theory lesson! Subscribed 🙂

Chird progression 4 would be more easily explained as being A Major (iii ii V9 I VII7)

Fab lesson. You're a great player and a great teacher. Blessings in abundance to you. 🙏🏽🌹

I loved the first and last chord progressions!

My all-time favourite was just known as the Jazz Turnaround when I started in a band. It is (in C) C- A7 - D7- G7. I suppose that is a bit ordinary. by these standards, but it still gives me the chills when I hear it. It is the happiest of sounds.

interesting, some of those chords are common used in bossa nova, nice to see them here.

the pure and simple use of pre-existing harmonic progressions limits creativity and takes away the “surprise” element of the music. Avoid progressions as much as possible, if you don't want to stay floating in mediocrity, thinking you're surfing a big wave...

I love teachers like you.
How to do it and just enough of why it works.

Brilliant

Wanted you to break down what jimi hendrix did on Third stone from the sun...He was really headed in a hreat direction..combining blues,rock n roll roll,jazz....flamenco...and just his learning buy playing live concerts...
Hey you really know music theory...jam on.

Thank you so much, Just made out of that 1st progression, a strum of C 1+2+3+4+ Cmaj7 1+2+3+4+ Dm7 1+2+3+4+ 1+2+3+4+ Am7 1+2+3+4+ C/B 1+2+3+4+ E7 1+2+3+4+ Fm6 1+2+3+4+ then C 1+2+3+4+ Cmaj7 1+2+3+4+ D7 1+2+3+4+ 1+2+3+4+ Am7 1+2+3+4+ F 1+2+3+4+ Fm6 1+2+3+4+ 1+2+3+4+

Those eyes... I have to watch it again

This felt like a cooking video for a tasty dish.

I like the way u teach

Great video. I keep looking at your fretboard and like how is she playing that chord there and then realizing that your fret dots are in some unorthodox places! Hahaha

so good

JAMES SCOTT NICHOLSON, ONTARIO, CANADA 🇨🇦, GREAT 👍 FAST TO THE POINT EXPLANATIONS,
WITH COOL 😎 PROGRESSIONS. I AM WORKING ON JAZZ, THIS WAS VERY INFORMATIVE.
ARE YOU SINGLE??? LOL ♥️♥️✌️

I can't do bar chords😢

I like that Fm6

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

An important thing about this progression video is that the chords don't pay all strings. Sometimes skipping a string in the chord helps the voicing stand out more

Chord sequence 1 - the last chord Fmi is really nice, but I reckon an E7 instead also works well.

These are tricks you hear a lot in Sondre Lerche’s music, which I looooove.

May I suggest that you don't need to make those quite obvious exaggerated expressions to entice us to watch your videos. Your content sells itself. I say this with the greatest of respect. I'm a song writer and I have found your content useful but the "hook" look of incredulity?? Be different by not doing what everyone else does.

Progression 2 just seems to be a I, v, IV in Mixolydian Mode

Wow, I love you voice ... so beautiful.

I like her style of teaching-very matter of fact and snarky fun.

The "augmented climb" is nice

Lovely progressions.
I'm working on extra dominant chords for the targetchord. Like in People get ready : D Bm7 G D it becomes :
D Gb7 Bm7 D7 G A7 D A7
A gospel trick 😉

I not only like the progressions but perhaps even more your elaborations! Thank you

Lovely❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Helpful.... Like your explanation 👍🏼

What's interesting in the relationship of that secondary dominate which is a V7/V or a D7 resolving to a G Major - But it doesn't do this here it goes to a IV or F Major so is that a substitution resolution (I'm not saying there is any such thing, but how I think about it) or something else.such as an implied secondary dominate, the F7 being a passing chord from F to G without the resolution - the F7 acting as an embellishment (passing chord). It's hard to think of a primary chord as being an embellishment chord. The v minor is a weak chord but it does sound very colorful: it's modality.

The f minor 6th is actually a d half diminished in 1st inversion or borrowed from c pure minor - but not really because the chord before it is a D7 chord the D7 is actually a secondary dominate it's the d half diminished chord that is a substitution of the G chord because that is V7

Love this video! I think chord progression 4 could also be considered to take place in A minor. In that case, the gminor chord is out of key. However, then the progression looks like this: tonic, 7, flat 6, and 5. This is a very common movement in music (might even be a cliche) which explains why it feels so put together, imo.

Music as I play it and hear it is NOT boring! Say that to John Prine et al! Like the video nonetheless! Plenty to learn and pass on to friends who might be interested. Thanks.

As always brilliant ! I’ve just been to Melbourne Sydney Newcastle .. wondered where you are. Anyway love Oz

These are so beautiful - thank you!

Fabulous; understandable & effective for someone like me who has struggled w/ much of Theory for years.

Voice not and video are not into sync but value of knowledge 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️
