What are some good guitar chord progressions?

Asked by CatieDalleLydon (271points) September 11th, 2011 from iPhone

I’ve written a song and I’m having trouble getting the guitar music to sound just the way the lyrics feel. Give me any unique chord progression you’ve got and I’ll greatly appreciate it! (:

Yes I can play anything, I think heh. Some chords I still have to practice but I can play bar chords.

This little bit of web reference is indispensable, even to a weekend noodler like me.
