What is a chord progression, and how is it different from changing keys?
In: 4
Chord progressions move through an audible “story” that starts with a root, moves into more complex territory, reaches an interesting contrast with the original root and then resolves back to it.
Depending on your culture you know some of these “stories”. Ever hum along with a song you never heard before, but you knew where it was going? This is why. Things like the 12-bar blues or the “Rhythm Changes” in jazz are chord progressions.
