A chord progression is a sequence of chords played in a piece of music. The most common type of chord progression in Western music is the major chord progressions. This progression is built on the foundation of the major scale. A songwriter/ musician / Guitarist can mix and match chords from other scales and modes to add variety, tension, and release to the chord progression.
