Isn't house in general reliant on looped samples? I don't do much house, but shouldn't you be listening to jazz music and looking for things to loop?

Anyway, you'll understand chord progressions a lot better if you understand terms like cadence, predominant chords and passing chords. Also, this site might be of interest to you: http://www.musictheory.net/. There's a pretty good beginner's lesson on chord progressions there. This should get you going.

Nah, not all house is base on looped samples. You can use samples but it's best to make your own sounds otherwise you risk the chance of your tracks sounding like someone else's tracks.

Anyway, you'll understand chord progressions a lot better if you understand terms like cadence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadence_%28music%252), predominant chords (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predominant_chord) and passing chords (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passing_chord).

Loops can be progressions and many are rather vamps. Vamps also have a place in jszz, rock, soul and blues.
