Soulful Keys
I started playing the piano with zero theory and worked everything about using my ears. That became an issue when trying to play with bands, so I went away and learn most the common chords.
As my genre is Neo Soul / R&B / Funk / Jazz, I have found a common structure pattern.
R&B and Soul producers / musician tend to use chords within the following scales.
Eb maj(or C min) - mirrored keys
Fmaj (or Dmin)
Bb maj (or Gmin)
Db maj(or Bbmin)
Most of my chord progressions are based around these keys and I often alternate switching keys. E.g. go from a Bmin7th (Db maj key) - down to the Gmin7th (Gmin key)
