What is the most common guitar chord progression used in song-writing?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

This is a formula for music called the Nashville Number system.
It's really quite simple. It is based on the positions of the notes of musical scales. For example, the scale of G is:
G A B C D E F# G
Here is that scale with the position numbers of the notes:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
G A B C D E F# G
In the key of G this is what the Chords of the scale would be.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
G Am Bm C D Em F#dim G
This is why you will see a song in the key of G having G, C, and D (or variations of those chords) played frequently.
The chords in this progression will change depending on the key, but the 1-4-5 always stays the same.
A 12-bar in the key of G could look like this.
G (1)
C (4)
Gx2 (1)
Cx2 (4)
Gx2 (1)
D (5)
C (4)
G (1) C (4) G (1) D (5)
Hope this helps ya. Feel free to ask questions. I'm not always the best at explaining these things.

For the key of A, this translates to A-D-E (or A-D-E7).
