Generally when I write chord progressions they are very basic and simple. If I was writing in C Major for an easy example, with an I-vi-IV-V progression, I would kinda just keep looping C-Am-F-G with some variation in there.
This tends to get kind of repetitive though and I'm wondering how to keep things interesting and build from that basic progression. Add in variations of those basic chords? Swap one chord out for another chord in the same key?
I'm not sure what is typical or how songwriters create songs where the different parts sound so different but also flow so perfectly. Any ideas or resources you could point me towards would be much appreciated!
