Chord progressions use roman numerals to show how the chords in the pattern are related.

Let's say we want to make C MAJOR our home chord. It will help us to build a C MAJOR "ladder" (or scale) using the music alphabet.
*Remember: the music alphabet only goes to G and then starts all over again!

By adding the rest of the roman numerals, we can see how the chords are related! This helps us build a successful pattern (progression) based on any home chord we choose.
