I find good stuff in almost every type of music. I am talking about how the music effects your emotion. Some country makes me want to get up and dance, I find it exciting. But I also find beauty in a waltz; not so much in a polka. Listen to the music in a movie – it set you in their mood.

Progressions:
Throughout all music you will find a V7 – I progressions. This is so important if you are improvising or trying to memorize the chords of a song. This is one of the first steps in chord substitution. Try finding the V7 – I in a song.

Five foot two is an old song but it’s a good example of a V7 – I progression.
C E7 A7
Five foot two eyes of blue oh what those five could do has
D7 G7 C

anybody seen my gal

E7 to A7 is considered a V7- I A being a #1 chord.

The same for A7 – D7 D being #1

and again D7 – G7 and G7 – C all V7 – I progressions.

This is foundational for chord substations. Great for playing a great improvised lead to.
