Circle progression

Circle progression is a way of writing music where you play a series of chords in a circular pattern over and over again. When you play each chord in order, it helps create a sense of movement or progression in the music.

Imagine you're playing a game of hopscotch, jumping from one number to the next. Circle progression is like playing hopscotch with chords in music. Each chord is like a different number you jump to, and playing them in order helps create a sense of moving forward.

For example, if you play the chords C, G, Am and F in a circle progression, you'll start with the C chord, then move to the G chord, then to the Am chord, and finally to the F chord. Then you start over with the C chord again and keep going around and around in the same order.

It's like going around on a merry-go-round or ferris wheel at the carnival. You start at one point, and as the ride goes around and around, you keep passing the same points over and over again. Similarly, in circle progression, you keep playing the same chords again and again, but the context of the chords changes as you move forward through the music.

So, circle progression is a simple but effective way of creating movement and progression in music by playing a series of chords in a circular pattern.
