Chord progression: a pattern of chords that repeats.
Make a chord progression interesting by:
changing the rhythm
changing the voicing (which note is the top, middle, or bottom)
changing how often a chord changes (harmonic rhythm)
arpeggiating the chords (broken chords)
adding passing notes
changing a chord on a repeat
adding a passing chord (an extra chord to bridge two chords)
