The best way to think about chord progressions is in the abstract, in other words, removed from any particular key. So, rather than refering to chords with alphabetical names like "C, F, G", we can use numbers to describe their relative function in the key, "I, IV, V". And by memorising an example or two of each chord function, it can make it much easier to pick out a chord progression by ear.

Another good trick to audiate I-iii may be "[I] Ground control to Major [iii] Tom" early in Space Oddity. Note also that the analogous line is harmonized I-III7 later, making it sound extra bright (I think) because expectations had been set..

Hey David, just wanna let you know (if you ever read this comment, that is) that this is one of the worst problems I never knew I had when building my chord progressions. With those nice examples of songs that make effects of different chord changes on their respective context clear, I started to memorize the feelings of each change and now when writing I can think of the effect I want and search around there instead of trying random chords. Thank you very much for this invaluable content.

I like the way you demonstrate the feel of different chord movements here. The one-by-one approach gives me a better grasp of how each movement of a chord is like a step to the next thing that happens in the song. Anyway, I'm understanding more of it as I go. Is this just me advancing as a student, or are your teaching skills getting really good too? Nice lesson, Sir!

@@jacobevanoski1221: Yep, now you can listen to both and hear the same chord functions. :) And the Slash riff is outlining the chords in the case of Sweet Child, in a way the emphasizes and links common notes between the chords. I had always interpreted such songs as starting on the V and being V-IV-I progressions, until fairly recently when I started learning about the use of mixolydian in rock. Basically major with a flatted seventh, to go with the common use of dominant 7th chord in the roots of rock rather than the maj7 chord. I think it was Paul Davids' video on Johnny B. Goode that turned me on to this (that song does just use a basic I-IV-V blues progression, but he's playing the mixolydian scale over it, with blue notes added).

Honestly, this was surprisingly helpful. I can't believe I never thought about this before. It is so common to have 'example songs for interval', but I hadn't come accros this before, thanks! Now, I do want to point out, it may even be worth it to include some example for function beyond 'after the I'-chord. Your minor key video may address this already a bit, but maybe you can identify other common parts of chord progressions with prime examples.

I always enjoy the way you explain and show things, very clear and your examples are genuinely helping me develop my ear. Question: is it fair to think of the chord function as like an absolute scale and the intervals are the differences between chord functions? When you compare each function to the root note, doesn't that mean the chord function is the same as the interval to the root note? Just wanting to clarify for my understanding, thanks David, patrons, and viewers!
