Hi,

My name is Lucion Pennant. If you are on my blog, then you are bound to learn something.

Let me tell you a little about a 2-5-1 chord progression, and then I will give you some free chords for you to go and practice. Remember, the more you practice, the better you will become.

What is a 2-5-1 Chord Progression?

This is simply a 2 chord progressing to a 5 chord, which progresses to a 1 chord (If you keep reading, I will give examples)

It is very important for you to be familiar with the concept of a 2-5-1 progression because they are used in almost every song there is, in all genres of music.

Here is a little secret. Are you ready?…, a 2-5-1 progression is commonly used at the end of songs or phrases. You can use it to turn around your songs.

Enough of that, lets get to the chords…
