Ever wondered what chord comes next when you are playing your instruments, here is what i will tell you. In any given key you can play in, there are PRIMARY CHORDS (Founders) - this are chords that you play more than once in a song.
For example lets say you want to build your home. the first thing you will think of is laying your foundation because a house cannot stand without it foundation so also are music chords. When the foundation is been laied other things can fix fixed easily.
So lets say i'm playing a song in the Key of C, and the first chord is the C chord and I have to guess what the next chord is, I would guess that it would be either the F chord or the G chord. Why? Because those are the other "Founders". So we have narrowed the odds a great deal first by knowing the founders and then the rest. Here is the little secret that i used to guess which chord comes next.
So how could I tell whether it should be F or G?
If the melody is a "B", then the chord is probably a G chord. Why? Because "B" is in the G chord, but is not in the F chord.
If the melody is a "A", than I would guess that the chord is F. Why? Because "A" is in the F chord, but is not in the G chord.
Does that mean that there are always just 3 chords in a song? No, but there are literally hundreds of songs that are made of just 3 chords.
