AI Response: Here's a melancholic progression that works beautifully for ballads:
Cm - Ab - Eb - Bb
i - VI - III - VII (Natural Minor)
This progression creates a sense of longing and resolution. Try adding a 7th to the Cm (Cm7) for extra depth. Famous example: "Someone Like You" by Adele uses a similar progression.

G - D - Em - C
I - V - vi - IV (Pop-Punk Progression)
This is one of the most popular progressions in modern music. Try playing octaves in the bass and adding synth stabs on the off-beats. Used in countless EDM hits including "Wake Me Up" by Avicii.
