The I, V, vi, IV progression here has been used for many hit songs. Perhaps you could write the next hit using this progression?

NOTE: These are all demonstrated in the same key – E Major. The original songs are in different keys.

There are some songs towards the end where the progression has been rearranged to be vi, IV, I, V. Same four chords and same order or repetition, just starting on the vi instead of the I.

Grab your guitar and play along… the chords are: E, B, C#m, A. Then swapped to C#m, A, E, B at the changeover.

This video explains why there is only ONE guitar scale 'Master Pattern' you really need to learn on guitar.

This major scale 'Master Pattern' is movable, just like bar chords are movable. You simply take this pattern and move it along the neck of the guitar to get access to different keys/scales.

Inside this simple Master Pattern you will find all the basic beginner chords, extended chords (6th's, 7th's, 9th's etc), power chords, bar chords, arpeggios, triads, the CAGED scale patterns, the modes, the pentatonic scales and more…

This simple one pattern works for all 12 major keys and all 12 natural minor keys!
