All secondary dominants are merely diatonic chords with nondiatonic inflections. Secondary dominants in most instances proceed in the same manner as their diatonic counterparts. With few exceptions secondary dominants are partwritten the same as they would have been without accidentals. Secondary dominants came into being to strengthen the descending P5th progression. Occasionally a secondary dominant does not progress to its tonicized chord just as in diatonic music the dominant chord does not always progress to tonic.

The progression of four basic chords that was used in many popular songs of the 1950s and 1960s is referred to as what chord progression?
The chords are C Am F G in that order. It's called the 50's progression by proffesionals, I am unsure of the actual progression term.
Lady Gaga's song Poker Face sounds like?
If you are referring to the word's Poker Face, it sounds like Poke her face. The same question has been bugging me for a while. I think you refer to the chorus and its chord progression. I think the problem is that this is a quite widely used chord progression. The chorus to me sounds very similar to Zombie by The Cranberries and also Africa by Toto.
What is rhythm changes?
The chord progression from George Gershwin's " I Got Rhythm". These were used by many be-bop jazz players to create MANY other, different songs. Good question!
What is the definition of chord progression?
A chord progression is sequence of chords that describe or give an outline of the changes in harmony during a piece of music. In tonal music, which is based on a musical key, the chord progression moves the harmony away from the tonal center to create tension and moves it toward the tonal center to create resolution.In tonal music, chords can be built on each degree of the scale. For example, in the key of C major, the triads (three-note chords) on each degree of the scale are: C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bdim. In the key of D major, the scale-tone chords are: D, Em, F#m, G, A, Bm, C#dim. The pattern of chord types (major, minor, minor, major, ...) is the same in every major key. The tonal center is the harmony built on the tonic note of the key.For more elaborate harmony, four-note chords can be constructed on each degree of the scale in the same way. For example, in the key of C major, the seventh chords are: Cmaj7, Dm7, Em7, Fmaj7, G7, Am7, Bø (that's "half-diminished"). The same idea can be extended to five-note and even six-note chords.The function of a chord depends on its position relative to the tonic of the key. Chord progressions follow a variety of patterns in which the harmony moves from one chord function to another. Since the pattern of chord types is the same in every major key, the patterns that chord progressions follow are similar in every key.As a result, musicians find it convenient to remember chord progressions in terms of the chord positions relative to the tonic of the key, rather than the actual chord names. Customarily, Roman numerals are used to represent the relative chord positions. For example, in the key of C major,I = Cmaj7ii = Dm7iii = Em7IV = Fmaj7V = G7vi = Am7vii = BøSo, a very common chord progression can be written as "vi-ii-V-I". That chord progression can be played in any key. In the key of C major, it would be "Am7 Dm7 G7 Cmaj7". In the key of D major, it would be "Bm7 Em7 A7 Dmaj7". The chord progression produces the same recognizable movement of the harmony, regardless of the key. If you memorize the chord progression, rather than the chord names, you can play the same tune in any key you wish.As you learn to play different songs, you will notice that there are some chord progression patterns that occur frequently. By learning which chord changes lead away from the tonal center (create tension) and which ones lead toward the tonal center (create resolution), you will discover how to create your own chord progressions, in any key.Of course, there's a lot more to it than that. There are various altered chord qualities that can be applied to the different chord types to make the harmony more interesting. There are the chords that are not built on the scale tones, which allow you to take the harmony even farther away from the tonal center. You can also borrow fragments of chord progressions from other keys, to modulate away from the key in which you started, entirely. That gets interesting, because you might not be able to come back by the same route that you left!
How are chords numbered?
Chords are numbered according to their position in the key. Customarily, Roman numerals are used to represent the relative chord positions. For example, in the key of C major, the four-note scale-tone chords are:I = Cmaj7ii = Dm7iii = Em7IV = Fmaj7V = G7vi = Am7vii = Bø (that's "B half-diminished")Since the pattern of chord types is the same in every major key, if you know a chord progression in terms of its relative positions, you can play the progression in any key you wish.

What chords can be used in composing a song in a single root key?
Basic Chord TheoryThere is a basic chord progression that can be used. It's for eight bars: I, V, IV, V, VI, II, V, I.Obviously, it can vary from composition to composition.
What is the point of a pentatonic scale?
Pentatonic scales consist of five notes, and are mostly used for soloing, as the five notes tend to not clash with the chord progression.
What chord do you use for what progression to harmonise?
There are all kinds of progressions, you need to go to music college, but a simple progression is G-7 followed by C, or another one is C-F-G-C, used in many songs.

Where did the musical forms used in jazz come from?
There are only two standard jazz progressions, the blues progression and the rhythm changes progression. The form of the blues was derived from spirituals, shouts and chants, work songs and field hollers sung by African American communities in the late 19th century. The rhythm changes progression was simply derived from the song "I Got Rhythm" by George Gershwin. The chord progression became very popular, being used by many other jazz musicians for other tunes.
Practical use of arithmetic progression?
Arithmetic progression and geometric progression are used in mathematical designs and patterns and also used in all engineering projects involving designs.
What scale can you use with a F7 chord?
There are several types of seventh chords, but the most common type of chord is the Dominant 7th(or V7)chord. A Dominant 7th chord is the strongest way to approach the Tonic (I) chord.The Dominant 7th chord with a root of F is diatonic (naturally occurring) to the Bb major scale to reach the Bb major (I) chord. It is also used in the Bb minor scale to reach the Bb minor (i) chord.The F7 chord is also (less commonly) used in the key of Eb major to reach the Bb major (V) chord. The Bb7 is then used to reach the Ebmajor(I) chord.
How is it that a song can use a major chord on the supertonic degree so that I have G F D and C major chords in the same song?
The major II chord (whose root is the supertonic) is actually a temporary modulation to the key of the Dominant, and is called a secondary dominant. Given your chords I'm assuming we are in C Major, which already has the major I, IV and V triads (the chords C, F and G). The two, three and six chords are normally all minor (IIm, IIIm and VIm or in C Major: Dm, Em and Am). In C Major, the minor two triad (IIm in jazz / ii in classical) consists of the notes D, F and A, but here the D major triad has an F# instead of the F natural as it's third. One of the things that happened to music when harmony became part of it, about five centuries ago, was the ability to change keys. The Baroque and Classical mentality was to present a theme in the home key and then at some point modulate to the dominant and subdominant or to the relative minor or tonic minor and then eventually modulate back to the home key. Over time, the idea of modulating to a different key has been modified to just "borrowing" a chord or two from another key. That's basically what's happening when you use a Major II chord. The raised F to F# in C Major is actually the proper Leading Tone of the key of G Major (it's "ti" note). If we were in the key of G major, that D triad (the V triad) would be the notes D, F# and A - the dominant chord. Notice also that G is the dominant of C major. So the D major triad in the key of C Major is the dominant of the dominant. We have temporarily modulated to the key of G major and used its dominant chord (the D major triad), which is usually followed by the G chord, making a proper V-I cadence in the key of G Major. The G chord is also the V chord in C Major and becomes the "pivot chord" to get back into the key of C Major. Because the modulation is so temporary, we don't usually perceive that we have gone to another key (even though we sort of did). The II Maj. Triad is frequently used in this manner as a secondary dominant and is notated as the V/V chord (read as "the five of five" chord - meaning the dominant chord of the dominant chord). That same II Major chord can also be "borrowed" out of a key's relative minor. If we go to the relative minor of C, we end up in A minor, which has a minor V chord in the natural minor - in this case the D minor triad. However, if we use the harmonic version of the scale this gives us a Major V triad (the notes D, F# and A). When a II major triad goes to the V chord it is being used as a secondary dominant. When it goes to a different chord it has been borrowed from another key, but in both cases it is notated as if it was a secondary dominant as in: I - VIm - V/V - V - I. As far as that goes, any chord in the scale can be approached by it's own secondary dominant: In C Major the A major triad would be the V/VI chord making a progression like: C - F - C - Em - E - Am - G - C possible, where E major is the secondary dominant of the Am (VIm) chord.
