Shane and I call this chord sequence “T-formation” due to the shape it makes when you play the power chords on the guitar. We’ve been using the T-formation since we were in 6th Grade.
I have written hundreds of songs using this sequence, the technical name being the I-V-vi-IV progression apparently.
When songwriting’s concerned I have a really short memory. I can’t remember how to play a lot of the songs I’ve written in the past and so I’m sure I use the same chord progressions frequently, but luckily, I don’t get self conscience about the chords I’m playing.
Trying to write music for people that have a high degree of knowledge about music theory is a fools game. And generally, they’re such snooty people, they don’t like good music anyway. Just cerebral, heady trash.
A quote from this video’s youtube page.
Well you know what “theguyi26?” I’m one of those people that don’t like your stupid, weird, crappy progressions that have been used just as many times by loser musicians that play loud Santana solos on Paul Reed Smith guitars at Guitar Center while their girlfriend stands 3 meters off to the side waiting to leave, wondering why her boyfriend’s playing a guitar when he specifically told her that they’d just be going in to get guitar strings, Meanwhile all she wants to do is spend her Sunday walking through open houses and shopping at forever 21.
I know your story “theguyi26,” you’re progressions aren’t original either, they’re just mathematically inferior.
