About the i-V progression
The i-V is a two-chord minor vamp — the harmonic equivalent of walking in place. It's used to build atmosphere and give a soloist room to stretch. Common in Latin, jazz, and moody folk.
Playing in the key of G
G major is one of the easiest keys on guitar. Its primary chords — G, C, and D — are all open first-position shapes, and the relative minor (Em) is one of the simplest grips on the instrument. A great key to spend time in as a beginner.
