I watched a video where he demonstrated that many songs use the same tune / Chord progression (?). What is chord progression and why was the one in question essentially uncopyrightable?

It is impossible to create a unique chord progression at this point, it’s all been done over and over and over. All a chord progression is are chords, which is the combination of 2 or more notes, played in a specific order. The combination of a melody, which is a series of notes, over a chord progression is what is supposed to be copyrightable, and even then if we’re being 100% honest is unlikely to be absolutely unique at this point, simply copyright law is only enforceable via law suit and some melody/progression written 50-60 years ago is unlikely to have a challenger to a modern artist as that songwriter is more than likely dead.
