Cool Chord Progression Try this: Am - G - F - E7 This is a classic chord progression used in flamenco and rumba music as well as Latin-sounding rock like Toussaint l'Overture by Santana. You can hear it in lots of surf tunes like in the main riff in Walk Don't Run by The Ventures. It's an unmistakable sound, regardless of the key it's performed in. Below are a few well-known pop songs that use this chord progression. To play along with the original recordings, you have to use the chords given in order to match what they're doing; otherwise, just use the Am progression and you'll still get the same sound (because it IS the same sound) Runaway by Del Shannon (verses: Bbm - Ab - Gb - F7) Hazy Shade of Winter by Simon & Garfunkel (Dm - C - Bb - A7) Bangles' version: (Fm, Eb, Db, C7) And, to an extent: California Dreamin' by the Mamas & Papas (C#m - B - A - B - G#7) Don't know these chords?
