i figured this might be a good idea to try.
something a bit more interactive for us.
i thought it might be kinda fun to have a post
that would/could help us all practice together.
this would help us also learn together as well,
if everybody pitches in and helps out.
ok here's what we do,
tell us the key, and write us out a chord progression.
nothing to long (unless you want to) but
enough to give your idea. i think this could end up
being pretty interesting. so what do you guys think?

I like a lot of old school country/rock progressions. One of my favorites (I'll write it out in the key of D) is: D - G - A - F#m - G.
For an example of this progression, listen to the chorus of The Dashboard by Chris Young. I've heard it in a lot of other songs but that's the first that comes to mind.

ok maybe i should have stated this, let do the progressions writen out like this,


D///- G//*- A/// -F#m///- G//*

this way we can duplicate your progression. we will use a * in the place if there is no chord on that beat.
sound good guys?

Oh man, I'm not much of a technical player. I'd have to sit down and really dissect what I'm playing to write it out like that. I typically just switch chords when it sounds right...I'll go grab my guitar and specify a little better...uno momento...

To amend my previously posted progression...here you go...

D/// - G/// - A/ - F#m/ - G///

There, that should be a little easier to interpret through text (good idea Rick)

its easy tim. just looking for strum patterns, simple stuff. just something we can all do
together thats simple and fun. then on our own we can build off it from there.

Another... (in key of B)

B/// - Abm/// - E/// - B///

-----

And another. I call this one the 50's progression

C/// - Am/// - F/// - G///

and a good one to use in the same song for bridge/chorus etc...

C/// - G/// - Am/// - F///
