C Pop Progression
I – V – vi – IV progression in C major
C Pop Progression — I – V – vi – IV
The C I–V–vi–IV progression (C – G – Am – F) is the most widely used chord sequence in modern pop music. On guitar, these chords create a perfect balance of brightness and emotional depth. With seventh chords (CMaj7 – G7 – Am7 – FMaj7), it gains a richer, more sophisticated texture.
