Вставка

- In this video I go over 4 of the most common chord progressions I use when writing songs. Some of these may sound familiar, that's why I show you how to spice it up!
1. G, D, Em, C (or G, Bm, Em, C)
2. A, F# minor , E, D
3. Em, C, G, D
4. D, Em, C, G
I use these chord progressions all the time writing songs and you should too!

Awesome! Thank you, Forest!
Love this. As a songwriter I was always afraid to use the same chord progression in more than one song I’ve written but you just reaffirmed that it’s all good to do that. Melody and feel can make it completely different.
Another great video Forest
Love the way you play and sing, Forest! Can't wait to see more of your videos. Thanks for sharing all this excellent information.
That upright behind you screams VIBE!!!
I love it. Sounds great too. Its actually tuned a half step down so a C is actually a B, kinda cool if you write songs a halfstep down
Just found your channel, Forest. Really inspired by your songwriting skills; with chord progressions, melody development, strumming/picking patterns and writing licks. You’re really talented and your sincere heart for sharing is greatly appreciated. Thanks ... and sub’d!
I appreciate this message. And your name takes me back to my dads favorite fishing lure. Dig it! More videos to come soon. Thank you for being here!
so helpful! very, very practical! thank you!
Thank you... This is awesome
Glad you got something out of it!
Nice keep it coming 👍
Love your channel my friend! And your tips and tutorials help a lot. Please don’t stop with this! It’s great! 😊 can’t wait for next video, this one inspired me so thank you! Love from Sweden
Ill do more like this! Thank you for your support!
Wonderful lesson, good for intermediate players and professionals.
Great video. I love your style. Great progressions, and I like how you spice them up. Very tasty! 1 is a version of the very popular Canon in D progression (at least the first half of that progression ).
A variation of the 3rd progression is a favorite of mine: IV-I-V-vi (C, G ,D, Em)--- super popular in pop music. You can sing just about anything over it, and on turns, you just extend the V(D) for an extra measure.
Loving all your videos Forest!
Hey thank you so much! Love your support!
Thanks man!
Super helpful! Loved this video ! I can work on switching up my writing with some of these ideas. Great stuff !
another great video! thank you Forest! you have such a great way of teaching others!
Awesome video Forest!
Thanks bro you are the best channel on UA-cam
Love it man! Can you talk about your tone? Any “go-to” pedals, amps, ax, etc…
Forest! This is ridiculous... I mean i've been a guitar player for 15 years now. All the way up to doing session work professionally, with pro people you know. Now shifting gears into mastering the singer songwriter and producing aspects, i sit down with my acoustic wanting to get this progression down and I really SUCK!!! This percussive finger-style is cool i've just never done that typeof playing before. I'll get it down over a couple of days i reckon, but it's kind of hilarious though.
It's always cool to see something new. Appreciate you for stopping by sir
Hey Forest I appreciate you showing little twists and variations on those chords. I gotta look up the C Chord you are using on that first progression. Is it a Cadd9 or a true C?
Cadd9. He has the pinky and ring finger on the 3rd fret of the E and B strings for all four chords (excluding the hammer ons). The best way to tell is to look where his index finger is placed, in a normal C its on 1st fret B string, in a Cadd9 the index finger is on 2nd fret D string. But C and Cadd9 are entirely interchangeable and serve the same function in the key of G, so it really doesn’t matter what voicing you use, just whichever you like better.
