The Most Popular Chord Progressions

US The theory behind 13 of them from David Bennett      10/05/22

David Bennett is a pianist and music lover who creates educational music videos about all things interesting in music and music theory. In his latest video, he covers 6 common chord progressions in popular music, with examples for each one, with explanations of how and why them work.

The first video in the series, with 7 super common chord progressions is here:
