Here's one I was messing with earlier today.

Bbm7 // Gm7b5 // Cm7b5 // F7 // Em7 // A7 // Dm7 // G7 Gm7 // Bb7 Dm7 // G7 Cm7 Fmaj7 // Bb7 Dm7 // G7 Dm7 // G7 Cm7 // Fmaj7 // Bbm7 -->cont.


A cool chord progression for an intro to a song I wrote in G major. The first two bars are a traditional chord progression in G. The next two bars are more eractic but bridges the Cdim up to the D7, which then leads right to G major.
G6add9 D7 // Esus/B Cdim // C#m/maj7 Gmaj7 Cdim C6add9/A# // Gmaj7 Cdim C#m/maj7 //D7 Gmaj/B //

Another one in E major. This one acts as more of a suspension and it sounds more natural if the low E in the first chord carries throught the rest of the C.P.
Emaj // C#sus(b9) //F#maj // B7.
Naturally it's a common C.P: I - vi - ii - V7. I just think the sus(b9) is a nice twist on the norm.
