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 Am
A minor is the relative minor of C major, sharing its scale and chord family (Am, Dm, Em, F, G, C) but with a darker, more introspective feel. One of the easiest minor keys for beginners because most of its chords use open shapes.
