Guitar chord progression ideas?

Try G, Em, C , D or G, C, Em, D - vary them with Gsus4 and Dsus2 or C2 and they possibilities are endless...

I also like E, B, A and C#m or G#m in any order - just play around until you find what you like

Have fun!

I'll throw you the over-used and common ones. I like them - they're overused for a reason.

C G Amin F

Dmin Bb F C

Cmin Bb Ab Bb

etc.

Most variations of the above patterns will work - swap the order round, and stuff.

(The little b is my poor denotation of a flat)

EDIT: How long do you want the prog to be? I mean, the music I write only ever needs 4 chord progressions, but if you're writing something a little more.. complicated, you might want something more interesting - pop-punk doesn't require chordal finesse..

You pretty much answered your own question. Get a cheap cassette player and record the chords. Then play them back and you can practice your leads over them.

The most popular major 3 chord progressions are: ADE, BbEbF, CFG, DGA, EAB, FBbC, GCD.
