Q. I already know that chords and chord progressions can make a song have an emotion. I don't want entire progressions but what chords should I use for happy feelings, sad feelings, funny, angry, scared and calm but progressive feelings?
A. Major chords obviously have a more happy feel and minor keys give a sadder tone to the song. I play piano and like using 2nd inversion chords. one of my favorite progressions is: G major 2nd inversion, then A minor 1st inversion, F minor 1st inversion, then G major 1st inversion. I guess you could say that this gives a sort of calm yet progressive feel. There are a lot of places that you can go from this progression, and different ways to develop it. Hope this helps!

How to determine chord progression from piano sheet music?
Q. I have a page of sheet music that i'm trying to figure out guitar chords from but i'm having a hard time. The song seems to be in a weird key and I can't figure it out. Is there some kind of fool proof way of figuring out the chord progression of a song other than just playing random chords until it sounds right?
A. There is no fool proof way to figure out a chord progression. But there are a few tricks that can help you figure out the chords to a song.
The first way is to listen to the bass of the song. If you listen really closely to the bass and can tell how the bass is moving, you can usually figure the chords out by that. For example, if the bass moves from a C to a G, that usually means that the chords are C major and G major. try and figure out what key the song is in and then follow the bass and that will usually give you a hint on where the chords are moving.
Another great way to figure out the chords to a song is to learn basic chord progressions. There are some basic progressions that almost contemporary songs follow. These progressions are used over and over again in tons of songs.
If you are learning progressions you just need to know what chords usually follow after each other. If you were in the key of C, then you would know that it is usually followed by a G or F. In that same key a G is usually followed by an Am. If you can learn what chords tend to go together then you can figure out chords to a song much easier.
