    A chord progression is a cycle of chords....unless you were talking about a specific instance and I didn't understand your question.

    You answered right.

    For example in a song xyz has G|Am|C| as a chord progression. You repeat it again and again for the number of times specified.

    My Sir teaches me the lessons, I improvise on it on the net.

    And i learn theory here too, I don't want Sir to waste time on theory as I can do it myself. He comes jus once a week for 90 minutes.

    These are the 5 positions of the Major scale. The root note is the note that determines what the scale is called. Such as, Gmajor, Amajor Bbmajor etc. Some of these scales require some position shifts, i.e. where you have to adjust your hand to get to the next note. I've notated the fingerings as to make this a little easier.
    The Major scale is based on scale degrees. I II III IV V VI VII VIII these are determined by half and whole steps. A half step you can think of it as going up or down one fret. Like from B to C or D to D#. A whole step is like going up two frets. B to C# or A to B.

    I-II whole step
    II-III whole step
    III-IV half step
    IV-V whole step
    VI-VII half step
    VII-VIII whole step
    VIII is just an octave up from the root note (B-B). An octave is eight steps up. Same note, just higher or lower than the root. With the 1st position of the Major scale, you can make that Amajor by moving the root note on the low E string up to the 5th fret. Hence, the A major scale. By memorizing these you can play in any key by finding the root note somewhere on the fretboard. Make a recording of just the G major chord, then play the scale, and improvise something over it. Or you can use these chords: Gmaj, Amin, Bmin, Cmaj, Dmaj, Emin, F#min (or diminished)
    Minor scales are the same as the relative major scales, except that they start on a different note. The scales above you can use over Eminor, because Eminor is Gmajor's relative key. This means, that the notes are the same in both scales, and the chords are the same, it would just be that Eminor is the most prominent chord. Most rock music is in Eminor, minor keys are very dark sounding, whereas major chords, sound happy, or bright.

    These are the 5 Pentatonic scale positions. Gmajor (again) Pentatonic can be thought of as Eminor Pentatonic. Just start on a different note. Try this. Record a progression - E - A - B use power chords (5chords) then play these scales over it. Memorize these scales by their root note (r) and you can play in any key just knowing these 5 positions.
    Pentatonic scales are used commonly in blues or rock. They're only 5 notes, as compared to major or minor (7 notes). Practice these two types of scales in each position, try to use a metronome if you have one, this will enable you to play these scales cleanly and accurately. A good thing to do is find the first root note from the low E string. Play the scale starting on the root, play the scale up then down to the Low E, then back to the root note. Example:

    |--------------------------5--7--8--7--5-----------------------------|
    |-----------------5--7--8-----------------8--7--5--------------------|
    |--------4--5--7-----------------------------------7--5--4-----------|
    |--5--7-----------------------------------------------------7--5--4--|
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------|
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------|

    |------------------------------------|
    |------------------------------------|
    |------------------------------------|
    |------------------------------4--5--|
    |-7--5-------------------5--7--------|
    |---------8--7--5--7--5--------------|
    This way, you will remember where the root note is, there are usually at least two root notes in a scale, try starting on all the root notes for each position and doing this. This way, you can find a starting point on any string. Also pay attention to how the notes connect to each other up the fret board. That's all for now, keep it up!

    Every Rose Has Its Thorn by poison (easy chord deep meaning what else we need )

    Every Rose Has Its Thorn Chords by Poison

    Intro: G, Cadd9
    Verse 1:
    G Cadd9
    We both lie silently still, in the dead of the night.
    G Cadd9
    Although we both lie close together, we feel miles apart inside.
    G Cadd9
    Was it something I said, or something I did,
    G Cadd9
    did my words not come out right?
    D C
    Though I tried not to hurt you, though I tried, but I guess that's why they say

    CHORUS
    G Cadd9
    Every rose has its thorn.
    G Cadd9
    Just like every night has its dawn.
    G D C
    Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song.
    G C
    Every rose has its thorn.

    [Bridge and solo - I just play G-Cadd9-G-Cadd9

    Verse 2:
    G Cadd9
    Listen to our favorite song, playing on the radio.
    G Cadd9
    Well the DJ says loves a game of easy come and easy go.
    G Cadd9 G Cadd9
    But I wonder, does he know, has he ever felt like this.
    D C
    Well I know that you'd be here right now if I

    coulda let you know somehow, I guess

    [Chorus]

    Em D C G
    Though it's been awhile now, I can still feel so much pain.
    Em D C G
    Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains
    G-Cadd9
    Verse 3:
    G Cadd9
    I know I coulda saved our love that night if I'd known what to say.
    G Cadd9

    Instead of making love we both made our separate ways.
    G Cadd9 G Cadd9
    And now I hear you've found somebody new, and that I never meant that much to you.
    D C
    To hear that tears me up inside, and to see you cuts me like a knife, I guess
    [Chorus]

    Easy method to memorize all chords

    I am trying to explain chords theory if u find anything wrong please correct me-samar singh

    When I started dealing with chords it was a pain cause I wanted to know the relationship between major and minor and I searched for almost 15 days but I did not find anything in www so I made my own method now I m giving u a simple exercise to memorize all major and minor chords

    Code:
    A chord 
               Major                 Minor 
    e ---|---|---|---|---|     e ---|---|---|---|---|
    B ---|-x-|---|---|---|     B -x-|---|---|---|---|
    G ---|-x-|---|---|---|     G ---|-x-|---|---|---|
    D ---|-x-|---|---|---|     D ---|-x-|---|---|---|
    A ---|---|---|---|---|     A ---|---|---|---|---|
    E ---|---|---|---|---|     E ---|---|---|---|---|
    
    This is A chord, first notice finger positions on fret and strings its simple and when u switched to minor u just have to take ur finger back one fret rite that’s the whole funda and it applies on all the chords except Chord C
    Now lets see other chords
    Code:
    A chord 
               Major                 Minor 
    e ---|---|---|---|---|     e ---|---|---|---|---|
    B ---|-x-|---|---|---|     B -x-|---|---|---|---|
    G ---|-x-|---|---|---|     G ---|-x-|---|---|---|
    D ---|-x-|---|---|---|     D ---|-x-|---|---|---|
    A ---|---|---|---|---|     A ---|---|---|---|---|
    E ---|---|---|---|---|     E ---|---|---|---|---|
    
    Code:
    B chord 
               Major                 Minor 
    e ---|---|---|---|---|     e ---|-x-|---|---|---|
    B ---|---|---|-x-|---|     B ---|---|-x-|---|---|
    G ---|---|---|-x-|---|     G ---|---|---|-x-|---|
    D ---|---|---|-x-|---|     D ---|---|---|-x-|---|
    A ---|-x-|---|---|---|     A ---|-x-|---|---|---|
    E ---|---|---|---|---|     E ---|---|---|---|---|
    
    C chord – chord c is an exception case but its different from others see in every chord we go one fret back here we change whole position we go down not back its different so u can memorize it just try for like 50 times I know u can put it in ur head
    Code:
    C Chord
               Major                 Minor
    e ---|---|---|---|---|     e ---|---|-x-|---|---|
    B -x-|---|---|---|---|     B ---|---|---|-x-|---|
    G ---|---|---|---|---|     G ---|---|---|---|-x-|
    D ---|-x-|---|---|---|     D ---|---|---|---|-x-|
    A ---|-x-|---|---|---|     A ---|---|---|---|---|
    E ---|---|---|---|---|     E ---|---|---|---|---|
    
    Code:
    D chord 
               Major                 Minor
    e ---|-x-|---|---|---|     e -x-|---|---|---|---|
    B ---|---|-x-|---|---|     B ---|---|-x-|---|---|
    G ---|-x-|---|---|---|     G ---|-x-|---|---|---|
    D ---|---|---|---|---|     D ---|---|---|---|---|
    A ---|---|---|---|---|     A ---|---|---|---|---|
    E ---|---|---|---|---|     E ---|---|---|---|---|
    
    Code:
    E chord 
               Major                 Minor
    e ---|---|---|---|---|     e ---|---|---|---|---|
    B ---|---|---|---|---|     B ---|---|---|---|---|
    G -x-|---|---|---|---|     G ---|---|---|---|---|
    D ---|-x-|---|---|---|     D ---|-x-|---|---|---|
    A ---|-x-|---|---|---|     A ---|-x-|---|---|---|
    E ---|---|---|---|---|     E ---|---|---|---|---|
    
    Code:
    F chord 
               Major                 Minor
    e -x-|---|---|---|---|     e -x-|---|---|---|---|
    B -x-|---|---|---|---|     B -x-|---|---|---|---|
    G ---|-x-|---|---|---|     G -x-|---|---|---|---|
    D ---|---|-x-|---|---|     D ---|---|-x-|---|---|
    A ---|---|---|---|---|     A ---|---|---|---|---|
    E ---|---|---|---|---|     E ---|---|---|---|---|
    
    Code:
    G chord 
               Major                 Minor
    e ---|---|-x-|---|---|     e ---|---|-x-|---|---|
    B ---|---|---|---|---|     B ---|---|-x-|---|---|
    G ---|---|---|---|---|     G ---|---|---|---|---|
    D ---|---|---|---|---|     D ---|---|---|---|---|
    A ---|-x-|---|---|---|     A -x-|---|---|---|---|
    E ---|---|-x-|---|---|     E ---|---|-x-|---|---|
    
    So these are the basic chords I think if u guys practice these chords in few days u can play songs on chords cause these r the most common chords and we can use in every song
