C Unresolved Cycle
IV – V – I – vi progression in C major
C Unresolved Cycle — IV – V – I – vi
The C IV–V–I–vi progression (F – G – C – Am) creates a hypnotic, cyclical feel by ending on the minor vi chord instead of resolving to the tonic. With extended voicings (FMaj7 – G7 – CMaj7 – Am7), the unresolved quality becomes even more dreamy.
