Hi All

I just bought BIAB Ultra Plus Pac and i have started the learning process.

My question is,is there such a thing as a book or list of Chord Progressions anywhere?

I know the usual guitar chords but when it comes to something like Fdim7,or some of the Jazz chords
used in the BIAB demos,i'm lost.

How would i know what chords fitted with say Bdim or Emb5 that would make sense as something like
C - Am - F and G does.

Thanks

Alan

I think this is a useful link: http://mugglinworks.com/chordmaps/

Here's a page with a simple map and the big map in C: http://mugglinworks.com/chordmaps/part5.htm

... and the generic big map: http://mugglinworks.com/chordmaps/genmap.htm

This is not the final word in what chords can lead to other chords, but it probably covers 90-95% of the stuff out there.

That progression map is pretty handy.

My advice is to study some jazz theory as well. It really helps you to understand where you're going musically. Unless you play country, then you only need 3 chords and on occasion the minor 6th.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

The best way to learn all the chords is to take lessons, (from a good teacher), and learn the right way. A good teacher saves a lot of time, because you learn faster rather than trying to pick up everything by yourself. I know players have learned by themselves, but they're the exception not the rule. Later, Ray

Alan, that happens to be my favorite progression that I "borrowed" from Red Shea, Gordon Lightfoot's guitarist. Occasionally I'll add another minor (Em) before the F.

Many, many R&B songs use that chord progression. Later, Ray

We used to call that the "Cantor change". Some call it the "50's Progression".

I use that progression on most of my guitar tunes and then modify the results in BIAB, possibly transpose keys, style, soloist, and tempo to suit.

There are tons of lists, books, web pages, blogs, computer programs, and everything else about chords.

There are no shortcuts.

Take all of the advice offered here, and anywhere else. You already own the best music-learning computer program on the planet, so congratulations on that. Get a harmony book or two from the public library. Check out the local community college for a class on Harmony 101. Do everything, and be patient.

I started out as a guitar player. Ultimately I found that I could not get to the higher levels of harmony understanding without being able to do the changes on the piano.
