I’ve always been nuts about simple chord progressions, especially those that are hypnotic and circular in their basic nature. If I’m tuned DAD on my dulcimer, this is one of the top circular progressions that I know of:
With an ascending bass line:
| D | A | Bm | G |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
With a descending bass:
| D | A | Bm | G |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 6+ | 5 | 3 |
| 5 | 4 | 5 | 1 |
| 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
With chords in root position:
| D | A | Bm | G |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 4 | 5 | 3 |
| 5 | 4 | 5 | 1 |
| 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
