🎹 Break Out of Boring Chords! | 4 Powerful Piano Chord Progressions You Need to Know

Tired of the same old 1-4-5-6 progressions? In this piano lesson, Evan from Musician's Addition dives deeper into scale degrees and shares four exciting chord progressions that break the mold—two in major and two in minor.

You'll learn:
✅ Why 1-2-6-4 (used in Halo and Stay) adds emotional impact
✅ How 1-3-6-4 creates a familiar but fresh sound (The Office, Bad Religion)
✅ The go-to minor progression 1-6-3-7 from All of Me and Love the Way You Lie
✅ A descending 1-7-6-4 that brings a surprise twist (Lights, Comfortably Numb)

🎵 We keep it simple: no 7ths or sus chords—just solid triads you can build on. Perfect for anyone ready to level up their songwriting or piano playing.
