There are definitely what I'll call "common" chord progressions, which are chord sequences that show up in music (namely, western music - pop, rock, blues, etc.) repeatedly.
Some of these would include the following:
- E, A and B
- G, C and D
- E, G and A
- D, A, Bm and G
There are of course numerous others, but if you're going to look at what's commonly used, these are a good place to start.
