The 1-4-5 Chord Progression | Songs that use I IV V

The 1-4-5 (I-IV-V) chord progression is a common one, and these chords are guaranteed to make a song 'work'. If you're new to songwriting or composing, these three chords are your ticket to coming up with a great song that has a strong backbone chord progression.
In this Piano lesson, I teach you what this chord progression means, and demonstrate several well-known songs that use I-IV-V chords.

Your videos are so helpful and my piano skills have improved SO MUCH! Thank you! Virginia (Wind in The Night) by Head and The Heart is one I really want to learn. It sounds like it would be really fun to play!!! I'd suggest that one for a new tutorial video!

theres this mexican girl group that used that chord a lot in their 1st two albums. in their first album titled “Jeans” (1996) they use that chord progression in 2 songs; Nueva Generacion (New Generation) and Muero Por Ti (I’m dying for you)

Can you make a tutorial on The last Great American Dynasty by Taylor Swift 🙏🧎🏻‍♀️💜

[alfredog]

You're video's are amazing!! I've been playing the piano for a long time myself and I used to play mainly classical, but your tutorials have me shifting more to the pop genre too :) I don't know if you take requests for your tutorials, but if you do I was wondering if you could do the Enchanted x Wildest Dreams mashup Taylor Swift used to play on her tour. I have been trying it myself and the Wildest Dreams part was easy enough to figure out, but the intro and the Enchanted part are a little tricky. Anyway, keep up the good work!! Loved this video too ❤

I wish you use numbers for more of your song tutorials lol I get confused about D minor chords and etc when you use those 😭

[porteroverfelt]

Would you give a L-O-V-E (nat king cole) tutorial? Your lessons are the best on the internet, thanks!

[TheALBIECHASER]

Very well done, when you play the song it would help folks if you highlighted the cords as they were being played, you are so very good, thanks for the video,

Hi! Love your tutorials. Could you do one for drowning love? ❤

[jgpix]

Just by ear, perhaps Hootie and the blowfish “Hold My Hand” kinda sounds like a i-iv-V in the chorus. But I’m not certain

[RealPartySongs]

Thank you so much. Great! Have you done a similar video on the minor i iv v progression? :)

[jamrep]
