| Back in the day. I had a chart for the most likely chords to be in a song and the likely progression. Does anyone know what I'm talking about. Also I need advice on if I am playing with a band some basick backup stuff in the major keys. I am playing in a choir and the director is young and likes contemporary gospel. I am trying to learn from the experience. Alhough sometimes I wonder. |

I don't have the links here, but I have found some great links on the net just by googling "chord Progression" then add -song writing- outside the quotes
I will look for the links later

| Check with Fran Newman. Jeff has a course called "hear what you play, Play what you hear". This might help. |

Along this same line. Is there a chart available that shows chords in Steel guitar "Tab".
Thanks,

As for the most likely chords it's something like this...
For any key, write down the notes of the scale. We'll use C for simplicity.
Scale: C D E F G A B C
The 1st, 4th and 5th notes (C, F and G in our C-scale) will be the normally used MAJOR chords. All of the others will usually be minor (except for the 7th one which is diminished).
So in the key of C, using the C-scale you'll get these chords...
C major
D minor
E minor
F major
G major
A minor
B diminished
Now this is not a hard and perfect rule. Sometimes we use borrowed chords. For example, we might make the 2-chord major rather than minor. You might play the following chord progression. C-D-G-C. The 3 and 6 chords are sometimes major too. Consider the phrase C-E-F-G-C (with a borrowed 3 chord) or C-A-D-G-C (with borrowed 6 and 2 chords).
But in general, the major chords are the 1st, 4th and 5th notes. The others are minor (except for # 7).
Here it is in a G-scale.
G major
A minor
B minor
C major
D major
E minor
F# diminished
And in the key of E.
E major
F# minor
G# minor
A major
B major
C# minor
D# diminished.
Hope that helps.
