Reply To: Check out my musical compositions!

WIY- Not necessarily. A chord progression is basically a certain amount of chords (chords are just a combination of notes) that are played in a specific order. Chords are named after their “root” note, or the note that is most dominant in that chord, such as A, C, G, and so on. Some styles of music have certain chord progressions that are very common in that style.

To understand music theory, it helps greatly if you play an instrument, but not a requirement. I actually don’t fully know music theory. I compose most of my songs by ear, and by combining chord progressions commonly found in the type of music I am influenced by.
