As an original songwriter i use both keyboards and guitar as tools to write with.Can anybody help woth chord progressions. I am currently looking into diatonic chord theory. As i have limited reading ability but more practical ability i.e. twenty odd years.I play all songs by what sounds good to me. The progressions which i am currently looking at are C D minor E minor F G dominant A minor B diminished and C. Does any body know any more similar progressions which could help? me.

What you have there is not a progression it is just the chord colors based on the "C" diatonic scale. A common chord progression would be like d minor - G Dominant - C Major (ii-V-I) or F Major - G Dominant - C Major (IV-V-I). These are all in the key of C Major. Depending on the key that you are in is going to determine the notes that you would use. Hope this helps.

Thanks it great to be enlightened.Althought being a novice music reader i would greatly appreciate a knowledge of the roman numerals which are present within my initial chords in question i.e. C major = I D minor = II ETC..

No problem. If you are unaware of what the roman numerals stand for, you might want to take some basic theory lessons or read some books on music theory. The Grimoire series is OK for advanced literature readers who really want to have knowledge at their fingertips. Scales, Intervals, Keys, Triads, Rhythm, and Meter is a self learning book that is ok for some of the basics. Music does come from the heart, but sometimes it has to make theoretical sence. Until next time.....
