About the I-IV progression
The I-IV two-chord vamp alternates between tonic and subdominant. It's a favorite of reggae, folk, and any genre where the harmony steps back to let the groove drive.
Playing in the key of D
D major is a bright, ringing key that suits acoustic strumming. D, A, G, and Bm are your main chords, and everything but Bm sits in open position. The Bm barre is the one hurdle for beginners.
