Help me with song chord progression

[wx3]

Ok I'm was playing some guitar when i came across this riff and I've descieded to turn it into a song... I was wondering if u could take a listen to it. My plan it to use it as the intro/interlude, but I need to figure out a chord progression to harmonize with it and to use as the verse. I was wondering if anyone could listen to it any maybe give me suggestions on chord progressions or basically any other tips.


Thanks
Chris

That one has worked for everyone from Ritchie Valens to Green Day....

Or you can try to be a composer and be creative instead of reproducing those old progressions again and again

I hate to say this but there isnt a new chord progression available, they've all been used.

Dragonworks, i think you're right..........on the other hand, new melodies are everywhere........in my opinion, the strength of a song lies in the melodies rather than the interesting changes....some of my favorite songs i have written have the simplest progressions, but interesting melodies.....
