Heh, heh. Funny you should post that. Lately I've impressed a couple of old rock folks from my generation by whipping out the intro to Proud Mary (the original, CCR/Fogerty guitar riff, not Tina's horns and organ version). Anyway, the chords are dirt simple (C A C A C A G F D). The timing is another matter, all the important stuff happens on the off beat. Anyway, it's a riff that is instantly recognizable to just about anyone of my generation.

Chance the Rapper - "cocoa butter kisses"
2222 - 1202 - 2100 - 0211
sounds good to slide from 1111 into 2222 at the start. you don't have to know or like the song, but it's a good little slightly less "normal" chord prog. Bm7-E7-A-Bb6

Every time I watch an Aaron Keim Completed Work Demo on the Mya Moe channel, I try to play the cool little fiddly bits that he plays. Sometimes I get them, most times I don't, but each snippet is unique. His timing is impeccable; Aaron makes even simple progressions sound as fresh as a barrel of rainwater.
