Building Blocks: Writing A Progression

There's no rules to a good chord progression, but there's plenty of guidelines. Understanding functional harmony gives you the tools to write all sorts of different songs, but it's not enough to know what each chord does on its own, you have to know how to put them all together. In this month's building blocks, we look at some incredibly popular chord progressions and how they utilize the rules and behaviors of functional harmony to create iconic, memorable sounds.
