OK Im gona try to explain the major tonality:

MAJOR tonality has this formula ==> I---IIm---IIIm---IV---V---VIm---VII°

C MAJOR
C---Dm---Em--F---G---Am---B°---C(octave higher)

now using the same formula with the root in G
G---Am---Bm--C---D---Em---F#°---G(octave higher)

in E:
E---F#m---G#m---A---B---C#m---D#°---E(octave higher)
° = (disminished)
# = sharp
b = flat
(so when you see a Gb chord means that you play the same shape of G but one fret lower OR with F# you play F shape one fret higher: F#=Gb)

knowing this you can find the chords of any key and transpose a song(or change the key to make it easier to sing for example) if you know the progretion like:
C-Am-F-G in C MAJOR
and change it to E MAJOR
E-C#m-A-G
this is a typical move of 50´s rock and roll ballad(doo woop)=>I-VIm-IV-V

What I was realy trying to do is gave him a few structures of what alot of songs are made of, and this way you can hear how the chords sound together...
cause he know the chords but not how to combine´em.
