Timmy Talent said:Ah excellent observation YBG. So why is VI major and whats goin on with VII? This will be kind of hard to explain in one post but I'll try.
In my original example these two chords are functioning as secondary/applied dominant chords. You will notice that they are both dominant 7 chords, and this is crucial to their function. You should also note the chord that they proceed. The VI7 comes before ii and the VII7 before iii.
Let's take C major. In this case ii is d minor. Now the dominant of d minor is A7. So even though A7 isn't diatonic to the key of C, it can still be used right before d minor to give some extra forward motion. Same with VII7 leading to iii. In this case iii is e minor. The dominant of e minor is B7 so it can be employed directly before e.
In this fashion you can also use:
I7 before IV
II7 before V and
III7 before vi, in addition to
VI7 before ii and
VII7 before iii.
Hope this helps!

Or, if you don't really want to play around with chord progressions, and you want to know those Michael Jackson or Pharrell progressions, you can pick up some sheet music where their songs are transcribed at your local music store. And I'm pretty sure you can look up "Michael Jackson guitar tabs" online and see the progressions, also.

beatslayer said:this might sound dumb to people who know chord progression and music theory but how do you translate what keys are played for something like
i - VII - VI - V7 - VI - iv - V - i
I know the notes on the keyboard and which keys correspond but thats about it. is it possible to learn a little bit of chord progression without much background knowledge on theory? how do you know which keys correspond to the chord VII, etc? is that question even correct? is the whole thing that Timmy Talent wrote out the progression made up of individual chords?
