Chord progression 1 Chord progression A chord progression (or harmonic progression) is a series of musical chords, or chord changes that aims for a definite goal of establishing (or contradicting) a [1] tonality founded on a key, root or tonic chord. In [2] other words, the succession of root relationships. Chords and chord theory are generally known as harmony. A chord progression can be thought of as a harmonic IV-V-I progression in C Play simultaneity succession: it offers an ongoing shift of level that is essential to the music of Europe (at least since 1600), Oceania and South/West Africa.

Basics A chord may be built upon any note of a musical scale, therefore a seven-note scale allows seven basic chords, each degree of the scale becoming the [4] root of its own chord. A chord built upon the note A is an A chord of some type, major/minor/diminished/etc.
