So, for example, if your song was in the key of "A" then a I-IV-I progression would be "A-D-A." Also, depending on whether your song is in a minor or major key, each chord in the scale is usually specifically a minor or major chord. -SteveIn the key of C, it would be:I--II---III--IV--V--VI----VIIC-Dm--Em--F--G--Am---Bm7b5 It's easier in the key of C because there are no sharps or flats in any of the notes of the chords.I just started thinking this way recently after years of not... So, if this is incorrect, please let me know. CaseyAhhhh... yes I see. (Is that a light bulb over my head? Why is it flickering?)This notation is still not clear: I-IVmi6 progression. I guess in C it would be C to Fm? If I could remember what chord I used in the song in question I could figure it out. I wrote this a year ago, and have no recall. My brain only has the capacity to hold the ingredients of whatever I'm currently working on. One of the many reasons I'll never perform live.
