Songs by Chord Progression
in This ToC you can quickly see which songs use the same two chords, are based on the famous “50’s progression”, the “Axis of
Awesome” chords, etc. Our song charts take the chord progression from the original song so that guitar players have a good start-
ing point in approximating their own arrangement of the song. Sometimes the chords are in the original key the song was recorded
in, and other times the key is changed to allow the chord progression to be played with easier guitar chords or a capo. At the bot-
tom of the song chart is a suggested scale for taking a solo and strum patterns to capture the song’s “groove”!

TEACHING TIPS
“POWER CHORDS” can be a challenge for any beginning guitarist. Begin by
having the guitarist play only the “root” of the power chord on the 6th string
throughout the song until this is easy. Next the note on the 5th string can be
added, and that might be easier using the pinky. These are really the only 2
notes needed in a power chord. More advanced players can try the full chord
as written.

Even though this song has no “G” chords in it, it is still in the “Key of G”
because the C and D chords are next to each other in this key only. That’s
why the G Major Pentatonic works so well!

TEACHING TIPS
This is an excellent 2 chord song for beginners with lots of room to grow.
The Bmi chord can be played as a simple D chord with another guitarist
playing the bass note “B”.This sound is usually called a “Bmi7” chord,
but thinking of it as a D shape with a B bass note helps us build on
what we already know. Remember to count this song in “6”

TEACHING TIPS
play only the “root” of each chord on its respective string. Then try
using a 2 string “power chord” with a “paper towel mute” underneath
strings 1,2, and 3 (fold up a piece of paper towel and place underneath
strings 1,3 and 3 at the 17th fret). This will get students expecting the
sound of these moveable chords and help them transition to
moveable chords!

TEACHING TIPS
This famous chord progression (also appearing in “Mr. Crowley”
by Ozzy Osbourne and “You Never Give Me Your Money”
by The Beatles) is called a “circle progression” because
(Ami descends a 5th to Dmi, Dmi descends a 5th to G, and so on)
a Dmi chord can be played in it’s place.

IN THE KASHMIR
STYLE OF... by Led Zeppelin
The “Verse” section of this song uses a special rhythm trick, starting a new chord every 3 beats
even though we’re counting in measures that are 4 beats long. Also these “mini” chords are
easy to play and sound great while only playing on strings 3 and 4
D7 mini
XXO XX
D5 mini D+ mini D6 mini
XXO XX XXO XX XXO XX

All of the chords in this section use only 3 strings and are played over
the open D string (the note “D” in the bass). At the end of this series of chords play the 3 notes
written at the end in TAB on the D string

This song is one of those rare examples of beginning on a chord other
key of the song, but not here.This progression is IV,V, I, vi.The funny
thing is if you start playing this order of chords beginning on the G
chord (G, Emi, C, D) you’re playing a I, vi, IV,V, the same chords used
in “Heart and Soul”, a progression we call the “Ice Cream Changes”
(look that up in YouTube to see a great video about many songs using
these same chords!)
