Today, we're taking a deep dive into a foundational chord progression: the 2-5-1-3-6-2-5-1 sequence, exemplified by the timeless classic 'Jeepers Creepers.' We'll demonstrate how arpeggios serve as the DNA of our melodies, constructing a musical ladder to ascend and descend through the range of this progression.
