3. Chord Progressions
The easiest way to learn to recognise chord progressions is by singing the intervals. Here is a list of some songs to remember some intervals. 4th – Amazing grace 5th – Twinkle Twinkle 6th – Hush Little baby If you sing the first 2 notes of each of the songs it will give you the first 2 chords in the progression. Then you just need to figure out if it is going up or down from there.
