In this video I show you how to build chord progressions. I teach you the 12 keys, the 7 notes of a key, the 7 chords of key, and a useful formula to combine some of those 7 chords to create interesting chord progressions.

You'll be able to take the formula, and use your ear and sense of taste to experiment / create your own chord progressions.

Enjoy!
