Summary

### Summary
The text discusses the question of whether we will ever run out of chord progressions in music, considering different perspectives on defining a chord and using mathematical equations to calculate the number of possible chords based on the number of notes and the size of the chord. The possibilities for chord progressions are endless if you think about the possible chords and resulting chord progressions.

Highlights

• Different perspectives on defining a chord can lead to running out of chords quickly or creating something new and different.
• Mathematical equation calculates the number of possible chords using n factorial / R factorial * n – r R factorial, with n being the number of possible notes and R being the number of notes in the chord.
• There are 3,828 different possibilities for new chords using just two notes; 10,197,32 different chords with three notes; 2,331,1890 different chords with four notes; and 39,575,72 possibilities with five notes (commonly used in music).
• The text also mentions a website offering 143 chord progressions and tutorials on turning them into over 400 chord progressions using chord rotations.

Key Takeaways

• Chord progression possibilities are endless if you consider different perspectives on defining a chord and the number of possible chords in music.
• The website offers resources for exploring and creating new chord progressions, such as a list of 143 chord progressions and tutorials on using chord rotations.
