Some chord progressions work better than others.  When we let chords work the way they are supposed to, amazing things happen and we are able to write beautiful chord progressions. 

You must realize that each chord has its personality, behavior, and, most importantly, its function within the major and minor key.

If your goal is to learn how to put chords together without just guessing, then I suggest that you watch this video. 

Of course, you can still use your ears. However, I recommend that you also learn how the chord functions within the key so that you can write things that are out of your comfort zone. 

There are 3 chord families that we find in music theory. 

• Tonic family.
• Sub-Dominant family.
• Dominant family. 

Each family represents the function of each chord and how they work within the major and minor keys. 

In this guitar lesson, I am going to show you how to put chords together using the chord functions of each chord. Once you understand this concept, you will be able to analyze each chord progression you already play and write a bunch of new exciting ones.

Enjoy this lesson.
