anyone got good chord progressions that worked for them?

1-4-5 always works lol

If you learn your theory, you'll be able to come up with all types of progressions. Of course 1-4-5 is used in most western style music...

1,4,5 = G,C,D or A,D,E or F,Bb,C etc.........
You can use a Dom 7th chord as the 5th to add more tension before returning backing to the root Tonic/Chord

There's 1000's of songs with just 3 chords

I been working on the 1,4,5 progression but in a blues format

A7,D7,E7 for example. I'm trying to learn the triad inversions which are really helping with learning chords. It's also helping to see the layout of the fretboard.

The triad files are cool you can do alot with them.

Try this one, it has kind of has a fifties feel to it, and it is easy to solo to.
Major 1, 6, 2, 5, 4.

Ex. chords- C major, A minor, D minor, G major, F major.

C A D G F

1-7-6 has been used a lot in the rock world. For example, Neil Young 'Rockin in the Free World' or Bush, 'Everything Zen'
