What do the Beatles, Bob Marley and Journey have in common? They all wrote tunes that feature the I-V-vi-IV progression! This lesson compares "Let It Be," "No Woman, No Cry," and "Don't Stop Believin'" to demonstrate how, with some simple variations in chord voicings, you can use the same harmonic progression for the opening of each tune.
