in Theory
Just having a quick post-tune strum through some chords to check the guitar was in tune, and just so happened to play these 4 chords, in this order.

I must've heard this progression a hundred times, maybe more. Where is it from though?
Just so people are aware. I have no idea what any of these words mean.

    It's a very common progression  ... not as common as the 1 - 5 - 6 - 4  which would be G - D - Em - C but still very popular in western rock and pop.

    I play guitar because I enjoy it rather than because I’m any good at it
