Tips for Creating Chord Progressions

The initial position of the chords follow [ I - ii - iii - IV - V - vi - vii dim ] for major keys or [ i - ii dim - III - iv - v - VI - VII ] for minor keys
Start with a simple [ I - IV - V - I ] progression for a classic sound
Try giving each chord you play time to settle before playing another one, a chord progression usually just serves as the background chords rather than the main melody
Experiment with minor chords to add emotion to your music
Try using seventh chords for more emotional chords
