I was surprised though to see that in the data the 1-5-6-4 progression is not the most common. Maybe I'm reading it wrong? Looks like 1-4-* is more popular.

- markbnj 12y agoI think what the amusing videos linked above show is that 1-5-6-4 is very common in certain styles of music, especially modern pop. But when you consider music in its entirety then I'm not surprised to see it recede. So much folk and blues, for example, are built around completely different progressions.
- azakai 12y agoGood point. I guess my musical experience is limited to the rock/pop side.
