Chords Progressions.

Ok, so I feel really stupid asking this, but, can someone give me some basic chord progressions in the format of "I, III, V", or "I, VI, V, I" etc.

The studying of chord progressions is something i've neglected amongst all the frenzied solo'ing.

Thanks guys.

*feels dumb*

Using roman numbers instead of chord names is the professional musicians' way to write progressions. It is also known as baseline format. In this method progressions are generic and can be played in different keys for different singers.
If your scale is
C D E F G A B
then the notes' respective numbers are
I II III IV V VI VII

For exaple, if you have a progression I IV V -- that's your primary harmonic structure of the blues, and in different keys you can play it as
C F G, or A D E, or G D C.

yeah, it changes depending on the key, ie, C major, G major etc....

in the prog. I III V (1,3,5) in a major would be A, C# and E, and in a minor its a flattened 3rd so its A C E. so there you go

I didn't exactly mean it in that way, but it doesn't matter. Thanks anyway.

The most basic progression is I - V7 -I. But jazz players (among others) learn that this hardly means playing strictly the Major and 7th chords. That's where substitutions come in. For instance, any major chord (I) can be substituted with a major 7th or a 6th. IIIm7 and VIm7 can also substitute for I.
