0:00 - Intro

Music is constantly moving forward and musicians are always taking inspiration from the masters of the past to discover new ways they can innovate. In this lesson, Ayla Tesler-Mabe discusses seven of those chord progressions that changed musical history.

1:14 - #1: The Simpler The Better

Also known as the 1-4-5 chord progression, it ruled over most of the blues, rock & roll, soul, R&B, & Doo-wop music.

3:19 - #2: Tell A Story

Also known as the ‘50s chord progression (being as it dominated the sound of the ’50s), this is the 1-6-4-5 progression.

4:55 - #3: Pop Song Formula

The 1-5-6-4 progression although implemented in a lot of pop music, it's such a testament to changing music history because of how commonly used it is.

6:07 - #4: Jazz Progression

The 2-5-1 chord progression can be jazzed up using 7 chords.

7:54 - #5: Take Me Out + Bring Me Back

Its name refers to modal interchange, which sounds scary, but all it means is you’re adding a chord to the progression that is outside of the key you’re playing in and coming back to a chord that does belong in the key.

10:46 - #6: Endless Emotion

This progression creates emotional depth for the listener by taking the 1 to 6 movement and moving it up a minor 3rd.

13:54 - #7: Lift Me Up

More of a technique than a progression where you take a chord progression and keep moving it up, transposing it by a semi-tone to rise the drama of the song.

About Ayla Tesler-Mabe:
Ayla has been making waves in the world of guitar playing as a professional guitarist, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and composer, since the early age of 14. After only been playing for two years, her first YouTube video (a rendition of John Mayall’s “Hideaway”) put her on the map and kickstarted her music career. She has since been featured in Rolling Stone magazine, become a member of the Ernie Ball and Fender family of artists, and earned various Berklee College of Music scholarships. Musically, Ayla finds great pleasure in exploring the numerous avenues available to her through various styles of music, as seen through her work with Calpurnia and Ludic.
