What I was reffering to w/the 4 chord was the Picardy 3rd principle of classical music, where the 4 chord would go from major to minor and then resolve to the major 1.So basically there is no modulation occurring. This, if I remember correctly is the vers progression to In My Life by the Beatles'
//G D/E- /C C-/G //
I'll try to post some other Beatles progressions later, they really did come up w/some nice stuff.
