The "Oldies Progression" is a I-vi-IV-V progression (read "1-6-4-5" progression) used in many classic songs from the 1950's.

Every song from the 50s in one lesson... awesome...
"Hey man, the dance is over. Unless you know someone else
who could play the guitar...."
"Earth Angel.... Earth Angel... Please be mine..."
willard34 Great song and movie, I like that rendition of the song better than the original. :)
@@wolfman6489 so true
The lesson should be titled "How to make any parent raised in the 50s happy"... my dad will be stoked. Multiple keys... good stuff. Subbed!
I'm obsessed with this progression, thanks you for teaching me how to play it in many styles

Santa Catalina waits for me
Santa Catalina the island of romance. First song my guitar teacher taught me. The first song his guitar teacher taught him.
First song I teach. That was a really great lesson. Thank you.
The best chord progression ever! That's what made 50s pop and doo wop so awesome. Good video picking this topic all apart.
That was terrific. Thank you very much. You are an awesome guy.
My favorite chord progression. Almost the only progression I do and do it almost always in "C" major.
Excellent tutorial! Everything is simple, clear and very easy to understand. Great job, YOU ROCK !
Great lesson man👍
lot of cool songs with that progression, my Duo uses them a lot...thanks for posting it...
This video makes me want to go back to playing the guitar again. I haven't picked it up for several years. My Fender jazz master is calling me, ha.
So? Two years later.
So? Four years later?
Thanks for that . it helped clear a lot of theory up ...much easier to just have you show me .thanks a lot man.
Awesome 👏 thanks! 😎 🎸
When I was very young took guitar lessons with a guitarist from a local group, And, that was the first chord progression he taught me that was in the early 60's, Then he taught me it in all keys. I was lucky, I could bar the F. And, Continued from there. But, now I have trouble with my left hand, ulnar nerve damage. Missed the days I played. But, stil do on a Classical guitar, nylon strings.
Wow ... Great lesson, good explanation of the Keys with the Sixth.
Oh my god, I'm hearing it everywhere now. I was just practicing Last Kiss, sure enough it's the same thing. Then I checked out Earth Angel, same thing also. Scary.
+joeherrjr I remember noticing "50s chords" when I found a rock & roll album my father had and played it. I was 10 years old at the time and had been taking piano for about 4 years, so I was musically aware, and could tell that many of the songs had, as I called it back then, "the same format." In other words, the 1-6-4-5 chord progression. Last Kiss and Earth Angel definitely have it.
Stellar lesson
Thank you so much for doing this in all of the keys !!!!
I find that a Major Pentatonic scale in the key of the first chord always works well over these changes.
In the Still of the Night, Maybe, Angel Baby, Donna, Sleepwalk, Duke of Earl. Also wikipedia has a page with a list of songs with this progression but youtube won't let me post a link so just look it up.
Finally pretty much every song of that era, from Frankie Valli, to the kids on the street corner used this progression so look up any music from that era and try to recognize the progression. Also literally 99% of songs in 12/8 time from that period used this progression.
How much of that was manufactured, IW- it makes me wonder if the producers made them do that..hmm
Sleep walk actually has a minor f
Very clear explanation!!! Good teacher WOW
very nice - it is now part of my routine warm up - thanks a lot
I was checking this out because I am working on a "simulated 50s song" that compares music production technology of the 50s to how songs are recorded today. The song will have the 1-6-4-5 chord progression, the vocals will sound like doo-wop, and everything will be piped through a tube simulator plug-in to sound muffled like a real 50s recording.50s songs have fascinated me ever since I was a baby in the early 70s and my parents cranked up their rock & roll record set. They set up a speaker by my crib so I could hear the stereo they had in their bedroom. I can also remember hearing rock & roll when my parents had on an "oldies" station on the car radio.
Play it through a tube amp or one that model a tube amp. Use a echo/delay set on slapback, a reverb set on hall. Toss in a tremalo, a mxr mini amp (for the tremalo to maintain the strength of the signal), and a tube distortion set on low. And there you have a 50's rig to pllay your song on. Preferably play it on a semi-hollow body guitar.
lol.. did the same to my eldest son , he used to rock his cot to Carlos Santana cutting loose
awesome videos
great video just what i was looking for!!
Nice lesson!
Those magic changes :)
Having been a rock and roll guitarist from the 50's when playing in the key of G, we would always go from G to Em to Am, to D7. In C from C to Am, to F, to G7. Landing on a seventh chord always seemed to sound better. I still do it now. I play with a blue grass band and they hardly ever use D7. They also prefer to use the first position key of G chord C chord and D major shape(Finger position), and with a capo move up and down the fretboard. Not sure why because most of the rhythms need a lower sounding chord. Perplexed!
Thanks really nice
very helpful lesson thanks man!
@texandriller: Acutally, Donna is I-I-IV-V. Most people assume it's I-VI-IV-V, and that works, but it's not how RV played it.
great lesson thnx for sharing!
You forgot F Dm Bflat and C ..... Those chords are beautiful together
ANGRYGREEKMANYO screw b flat
Nice video!I sometimes think that the chords have a sad tone to them, like heartbreak from a break-up from a girlfriend from back then or even now, as Doo-Wop tunes from the 1950's or 1960's used this type sound.Just my thought on it anyway.
you know on the first chord progression with C Maj, after a minor A instead of going to F again the 2nd time, you could play a D to G also!
Thanks 👍
Know this progression and the standard 12-bar blues progression and you can play just about any early rock and roll tune.
Ah...Back to the Future. I love that movie. Wish I could go back and do what marty did...excet for the almost fading out of exsistence part.
Very good lesson,I'm pushing learning doowop n buddy Holly etc,Richie valens.im kinda burnt non punk,n hard rock, wanna do backstrokes in the musical pond .any advice on other material...I wrestle to stay in key, but looper pedals help me w timing,I'm near 60 n relearning guitar..any advice be great...great lesson..thank you..
THANKS i search for this
you just got a subscriber sir.
cool thx
@KsEngage292 it's easy... just remember the progression... for example if you play in a key of A and you play in chord progression I-IV-V, the next chord will be D major and E major since the A major is the first in the progression, D major is the fourth and and the E major is the fifth chord... or you can use another progression..
hope will help :)
Pandu
what about "F" and "B" and i didnt understand how come some chords get to be "sharp" in the chord progression, can someone please explain that to me?
TRY THESE WITH A CAPO THREE AND FIVE FRETS UP PRETTY COOL....
Play do or die ,Charlie parra please
Earth angel!
I have a PDF if Angel Baby. How do you play the rhythm, especially when You have a C and a G on the next word?
So, first of all I love your t-shirt and I have a collection of SUN Records signed apparel! About this chords progression, often in the '50s and early '60s songs it's played fast with palm muting: first example I can remember is Last Kiss by Wayne Cochran. Usually (but not always...) I can hear for every chord: pick the root note, than a 'rake' followed by some notes of the chord. All palm-muted... I would like to understand better this technique... Thanks and kind greetings!
Thanks....
@GostBoo Last Kiss by Pearl Jam has the same chord progression, maybe you mean that one?
What type of guitar bass? I’m new and I really wanna improve
hay i like the way you you play can you show me how to play i beg you by elvis presley the song was made in 1958 so i hope you can show me
Hi, where can I sign up for the daily lessons on your homepage? I can't find a contact button.
Greets from germany
Anybody please find me 1950's songs that have this progression other than earth angel? I LOVE drumming to this. Please get back to me.
COme go with me by the del vikings, Young love by Sonny James, etc.
Hey what's up with the tab when you appregio the chord I don't think you have it tabbed correctly
What about the chorus or bridges what would
They usually be or ate the entire songs this progression
Rhezoloution Personally I'd say for the chorus, use the same key but switch the chord progression around and then the bridge you could either switch the rhythm or change the key entirely. A lot also has to do with the lead guitar, drums and any flavour you put over top of the rhythm playing this.
what would you say tempo is for doo wop?
How hard should it be for someone who's never played a guitar before to learn this? I'd really love to but I only play the drums and a little piano. lol most of the piano I play is this progression.
Why do you not play the 6th string in the F maj Chord?? 1st fret.
6/8 drum backing track at about 70 bpm would be nice with this !!!!
Hey chuck this is your cousin!, you know that new sound you were looking for...
This may be almost every 50's 12/8 song progression.Ice Cream changes!
What guitar is this
5 Stars
I can really hear Donna - by Richie Valens. So 50's ballad.
that's so melodic...
Is this song in the '50s progression?: Alice Deejay- Back in My Life
Was this recorded thru a pair of toenail clippers
whats it tuned too? .... EADGBe?
I'm having trouble with the Z chord it's hard to hold
@TheGarrettCoop Yes, but still, what's wrong with tabs
We belong together
@KsEngage292 Has anyone helped yet? Regardless. I'm sure you have figured it out by now. It involves music theory.. best of luck to you.
agreed, learn the right way.....Oak...
Why is the tab on the bottom completely different then what your actually playing? I don't see the point
if anyone don't know how to play hall of fame it's Em C G D :)
I have a same guitar like yours.
Why do you lie?
no. i'm not
check my video as proof
@TheGarrettCoop Well, with standard notation, you don't know what position to play in. Unlike a piano, the guitar fretboard provides more than one place to play a given note, so tab is useful in that regard. The best way to go would be to know both standard and tab notations, but tab is far from useless.
@GostBoo Angel baby
agreed...
Lol, I have the same T-shirt xD
What's wrong with tabs?
You liar, I only wrote 10 hits songs by the weekend 😜
You look like one of those Nordic Aliens
i only ply that when i get payed show some thing i dont know joetheshaker-RBL
And now we are ready to do a lot of great music in a ridiculously dumbed down way.
HEY KIDS!!!
LEARN FROM THE ACTUAL RECORDS!!!!
TONS OF NUANCES, TONAL THINGS, VOICINGS THAT NO TUTORIAL DARES COVER.
Well, ya gotta start somewhere, I guess.
@partgas You need to get your self a guitar tuner buddy, lol.
@revolie IT TEACHES YOU NOTHING!! you can play tabs i don't give a shit. but i wanna learn the right way and not the easy way.
@revolie it takes no skill whatsoever..
@partgas U need a guitar tuner buddy, get a good brand like Yamaha or something well known and tune it to concert pitch that way you dont go too tight and snap the strings, same thing that used to happen to me too when I was much younger trying to tune with a pitch pipes, stay away from them.
