i go www.guitaryou.com but all the wording my com dun understand.. wat should i do?
thor666, can list all them down for benifit of those beginner?
Actually,
it quite popular because it is nice (or radio friendly)?
Some people can make use of it to come out unique song,
but some people make the song "sounds familiar" because of using this chord progression.
Depend on how you use it.

No, I can't remember, unfortunately. It's too long ago, and I'm not a big fan of Chinese music. My friend was the one who initiated the medley thing.
The Canon progression sounds nice yea, because there's quite a few tricks on the progression. For example, you could run interesting partial ascending and descending basslines over the chords:
Bassnotes in ():
Partial Descending: C(C) G(B) Am(A) Em(G) F(F) C(E) Dm(D) (C)(B)(A) G(G)
Partial Ascending: C(C) G(D) Am(E) (F) Em(G) F(A) (B) C(C) (B) Dm(A) G(G)

The progression is the same.
The different songs just change the key.
Canon in D happens to be, well, in D.

Which reminds me... there's htis inside joke among the musicians while I was in MDC...
"Hey what songs to play ah?"
"I dunno... its kind of boring leh"
"Its okay lah, lets just take 1 song, then repeat it, each time moving up 1 key."
"True, the audience will be none the wiser!"
But strangely... we never got to do that... :wink:
Anyway, what are some chinese rock bands that have great compositional ideas? Esp getting out of the normal (I - vi - IV - V, I - ii - vi - V / etc..) progressions?
