About the I-IV-V progression

The I-IV-V progression uses the three primary chords of the key — nothing else. It's the harmonic foundation of blues, folk, country, and early rock and roll. Learning to switch between these three chords fluently in every key is a fundamental milestone for beginner guitarists.

Playing in the key of B

B major is a barre-chord key — every primary chord (B, E, F#) requires a barre. Most guitarists play songs in B by capoing up and using easier open shapes from a nearby key.
