I dont know of any. Other than this one. It's agreat resource. Chord progressions? Here is a story:
Yesterday, a female old friend of mine came to my studio. 3 weeks ago she suddenly lost her dearest. He was in his best age. This girl/woman is a GREAT singer that has won awards for her remarkable voice, while competing on a world wide level. She has a piano at home, and she sat down and made a song as some kind of therapy for what happened 3 weeks ago (actually she wrote it during these 3 weeks). She dont know names of chords, so she just listened to what she thought should come next. She dont know basics like a song might have a 4 chord progression in the verse either, so she just added chords as she went along. It ended up with the wildest chord progression I have ever seen, completely without any maths or symmetry/rules to it. But it sounded great.
The verse was 16 beats long! And the wildest combinations of chords and basses where in it. All made by her ear, without knowing much of chord names or how they often are put together.
This boils for me down to this:
When you start playing, an easy way is listening to standard songs/hits and learn from their (normally 4 chords) verse chord progressions. There aint many ways to learn this; you just need to know the name of the (up to) 12/24 basic chords and how to find then in a convenient matter on your instrument. And you need some tune in your ear to hear what sounds good (if you dont have it already, it will come by practice, practice and practice).
Just download or buy some tabs, chorded lyrics and take a look at them. way more than 50% of todays hits uses most often a 4 chord progression in the verse and a different 4 chord progression in the chorus. There might be a prechorus and a bridge there somewhere that uses some other combos, but thats basically all you need to know.
There is no more to learn! Witch brings me to my second point of the story above:
When your ear is trained enough, use it to find out if this is a progression that sounds right/great for you and your project. The more you trust your musical ear, the less you will ask for ideas on chord progressions, allthough some series of 4 chord progressions are winners forever.
Try these i.e. and listen to it (you probably heard them 1000'ands of times before)
C-G-Am-F
(used in 1000 ands of songs worldwide. Let it be (McCartney) Drowning (Max Martin) and so on and so on
Dm-Bb-F-C
And so the story continues. Just download some chorded tabs/lyrics and start analyzing.
Wow! Have I written all this?
Sorry if this is too basic for you. Hopefully someone else can find it useful anyway.
Good luck
