Correct my music theory if wrong.

@helenS Ah, I see .I have to try this out.

@helenS hey thanks for this once again, borrowed chords right!, now my theory is improving, because I built both the scales minor and major and now get how the minor parallel factors in.

@johntomSWPhd The following chords will get you through most popular tunes, given that C major is the key:
C, F, G;
Am, Dm, Em.

Many pop songs contain additional chords, to add color, such as
Bb, Ab. (These contain notes that are not a part of C major)

I would recommend that you choose a melodic pop song (Beatles for example) and try to analyse the harmonic structure. Do not try more sophisticated songs (like those that are part of the American Songbook).

Try to find the chord progression of things like "Let It Be", or "Yesterday". Don't look them up, find them yourself!

It's really nice that you try to understand chord progressions. I smile at you. 🌷

@samueltyler2 Guitar.

@johntomSWPhd cool, there are the natural chord progressions that work well, follow Helen's suggestion of chords and experiment with them.

@samueltyler2 ok.
