The 4 chord method is a songwriting and chord progression technique common in Western music. The chords in the I-V-vi-IV progression are used as they have a sound that’s both familiar and appealing. These chords are based on the diatonic scale degrees of a key. For example, in the key of C, the I-V-vi-IV chords would be C, G, Am, and F, in that order. This is also known as the “pop-punk” progression, as it’s commonly used in punk and pop music.
