The Most Popular Guitar Chord Progression


Nathan Gunn, the former chief operating officer of Verisk Health, has spent several years as president of population health at Valence Health in Chicago. Beyond his work with Valence Health and other healthcare services providers, Nathan Gunn enjoys playing the guitar.

You can spend years learning to play the guitar and a lifetime perfecting the instrument’s techniques, from strumming to picking. However, the vast majority of popular songs draw on the same group of basic chord progressions. 

The I-V-vi-IV guitar chord progression is arguably the most widely used among modern musicians. While the G, D, E minor, and C chord group is among the most commonly used, the I-V-vi-IV progression can be transposed to other keys, such as C, G, A minor, F.

“No Woman, No Cry” by Bob Marley, “Let It Be” by The Beatles, “When I Come Around” by Green Day, and “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey are a few of the well-known rock songs that use the I-V-vi-IV chord progression.
