what's a chord progression ???

are there any special chord progression for ever types of
muisc??

Well, there aren't really set types of chord progression for every style of music, although there are popular chord progressions for every style of music. For example, the I IV V progression is very popular in blues, and also popular lots of rock.

Well, not to sound like a smartass, but a chord progression is a progression of chords.

. . . or a series of chords played in succession.

There aren't any patterns set in stone, but there are some common ones.

I-IV-V for blues
I-II-VI for jazz
etc

To Peanucle - you mention the "I IV V progression" - what do the umbers stand for?

The numbers stand for the chords of a certain key. For instance, the I chord in the key of C is C major. The IV chord is F maj, and the V chord is G maj. In the major scale the chords go like this: maj, min, min, maj, maj, diminished. So in C you have:
I - C maj
II - D min
III - E min
IV - F maj
V - Gmaj
VI - A min
VII - B Dim
The reason for this is that each chord contains three basic notes, the triad of the root (first note), the third (determines whether it is major or minor) and a fifth. To stay in the key of C, for each chord, this triad has to be built from notes within the key. So if you play a G chord you play G (the root), B (the major third, considered a mjor third if it is to whole tones up froom the root), and D (the fifth).
The chord of A has an A (the root), C (the minor third, which is called a minor third because it is only a tone and a half up from the root), and E (the fifth).
The chords are major or minor to keep the third note within the key. A diminished chord has both a lowered third, and a lowered fifth, in the case of B, an F, to keep it within the key of C.
Hope this helps, it might be a bit in depth, but any questions feel free to ask.
