-I-V-vi-IV is the most popular chord progression in modern pop music, used in countless hit songs
-ii-V-I is the foundation of jazz harmony and creates strong harmonic movement toward resolution
-The V chord (dominant) creates tension that wants to resolve to the I chord (tonic)
-Minor keys often use borrowed chords from the parallel major for variety
-Experiment by changing keys to find the best vocal range for your song
-The vii (diminished) chord is rarely used alone but works well as a passing chord
