You might not know it yet, but much of the music you know and love is built with easy chord progressions. From pop songs to jingles heard in commercials, easy chord progressions are the foundation of lots of the music surrounding us in our daily lives. But music built using simple chord progressions doesn\u2019t mean the music itself is simple or boring. We\u2019ve got five excellent songs to teach you that feature easy chord progressions, but first, let\u2019s talk a little bit about what chord progressions are and how to build them.<\/span>

What are chord progressions?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

A chord progression is a series of repeating chords. Chord progressions can be as simple as a repeating sequence of one chord transitioning to another or as complex as a progression featuring ten or more distinct repeating chords. Generally, the popular music we all know and love tends to be built with chord progressions that use three to four repeating chords while classical and art music usually relies on longer sequences of unpredictable progressions of chords.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Songs are usually built with distinct chord progressions for verses, choruses and bridges, but not always. Some songs feature the same chord progression for the entire song. An easy chord progression is one that features just a few chords that repeat in a predictable way. <\/span><\/p>\n

Chord progressions don\u2019t get any easier than the one found throughout the song \u201cFallin\u201d by Alicia Keys. It\u2019s remarkable how interesting this song is considering the fact that it\u2019s built with the same repeating sequence of chords for the entire song. This song was recorded with a piano, but the chord progression sounds great when it\u2019s arpeggiated with a guitar.<\/span>

\u201cWraith Pinned To The Mist and Other Games,\u201d by of Montreal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The melody from catchy and bizarre tune somehow made its way to mainstream and was featured in the \u201cLet\u2019s Go Outback Tonight\u201d theme song we all couldn\u2019t get out of our heads in the mid 2000\u2019s. The easy chord progressions in this song barely change from section to section, so this is a great song to learn if you\u2019re in the mood for something easy and a little bit weird (in a good way).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Only Exception,\u201d by Paramore<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other than the bridge and ending, this song features the same easy chord progression the entire time. This 2009 song by the band Paramore revealed the band\u2019s more sensitive side. You\u2019ll need to play these shapes on the fourth fret with a capo to play the chords in the same key as the song.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Catchy synth-driven pop created by bands like Passion Pit seemed have dominated the musical landscape for the past decade, and it\u2019s not showing any signs of slowing. This song primarily features synthesizers, but the easy chord progressions in it can be played with an acoustic or electric guitar. <\/span><\/p>\n
