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# – A#m) creates a hypnotic, cyclical feel by ending on the minor vi chord instead of resolving to the tonic. With extended voicings (F#Maj7 – G#7 – C#Maj7 – A#m7), the unresolved quality becomes even more dreamy.
