Playing a Chord Progression From Any Key

Guitars take numerous forms, designs, shapes and size but one thing is common; they rely heavily on chord progressions or cadences to deliver the tone or melody of a song or musical piece. To establish a tonal center, their design influences the quality of sound and music that they produce. The design and material of their composition may affect the pitch and hinder adjustments to accommodate certain musical genres. Aside from the design and construction, the quality of music that the guitar delivers is also influenced by the guitarist's skill for chord progression.

Chord progression is the process on which a guitar player does a fret bar position to go from one guitar chord to another. It basically refers to the guitarist's transition from one chord to another. In some cases, it provides resting places that resolves or starts new cadences to delivering or producing the tune and melody of a song or a musical piece. But in most cases, a guitarist will be compelled to do chord progressions from any key ranging from those with easy to difficult-to-follow fret board positions.

To avoid difficulties in doing chord progression, you must first learn or study the common cadential forms in playing a guitar. Familiarize yourself with the authentic, deceptive, half and plagal cadences of transition between guitar chords. Learn to identify the authentic cadences of chord progressions back from the fifth to the first note in the scale of the tab. Final chords usually command the perfect cadences and the highest voice. In imperfect cadences, chords may be inverted resulting for the first chord to be based on the seventh of fifth note on the scale.

Deceptive cadences or weak cadences refer to the progression that starts with a chord based on the fifth note, which goes to any other note other than the first. The half cadence may start progression with any chord but ends on the chord of the fifth note. It can go from fourth minor note to the fifth major note. The plagal cadences usually start with the chord on the fourth note and ends with the first note on the scale. This last form of cadence is frequently encountered in hymns.

As you learn to play the guitar, you become familiar with all the guitar chords that are used in a guitar tablature. Doing a series of guitar chord in sequence is putting them into a progression or measured changes on the tune created by the guitar tabs. Usually, these tabs do not have any symbol referring to rhythm and measure. That is why learning something about the forms of cadence makes an important guide to chord progression from any key or guitar chord.
