Question: What are some of your favorite chord changes/progressions on guitar !?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
This is from a classical piece "Pachelbel's Canon in D major"
it goes: D, A, Bm, F#m, G!. D, G A (repeat)!.
or I, V, VI, III, IV, I, IV, V!.

Any time you want an old time "doo-wop" sound,
a I, VI, IV, V, cadence is hard to beat!.
In the key of C, that would go: C, Am, F, G (or G7)!.
In "F": F, Dm, Bb, C7!. In "A": A, F#m, D, E7!.
There are lots of songs that use this in various keys!.
All I have to do is dream - The Everly Bros!. (in F)
Please, Mr!. Postman - The Marvellettes & Beatles!. (A)
Earth Angel - The Pengiuns (C)
D'yer mak'r - Led Zepplin (C)
(Chorus of) Crocodile Rock - Elton John!. (C)
And many others!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Im pretty much past chord progressions by now!.!.!. The next step is singing while playing them but that's a different story

One is the simple 3 chord progression from a cover I sorta made of "Oh, Me" by the meat puppets, It's an E major, D, C, and Back to the E

Another is The Chords, not the exact way to play it, for D'yer M'ker, By Led Zeppelin, This Is a C, A minor, F (I dont bar it!.) And a G

I hope you know the chords I'm talking about, but Im including them anyway in tab form, and dont get offended if you do!. Chill brah chill
