About the I-V progression
The I-V is the simplest possible progression — just the tonic and dominant. It's the foundation of children's songs, folk anthems, and countless early rock and roll grooves.
Playing in the key of A
A major is rock and blues territory. A, D, and E are open shapes; F#m requires a barre. The E7 chord sits naturally under the fingers in this key, which is why it feels made for country and blues players.
