Nothing you need bother about. OP is looking for a bridge, but one for a song not a bridge to lurk under.

Youtube how to write chords off a melody. Hook theory one and two books are helpful as heck. Deadmau5 usually makes a melody, drags said melody into the chord track. Then just add chords higher or lower that are in key, if sounds write, carry on.

I love when chord progressions borrow chords from other keys and when a track modulates to and from other keys. The issue is that those harmonic techniques are no longer popular in modern pop/rock, electronic and other music styles. For that, there is no such thing as a perfect chord progression. Lot's of trial and error if you don't know much music theory, but that's another good way to learn.

I think listen to melody and listen to notes that harmonize to form chords. Never heard of perfect chord progression

I haven't read the original post but the perfect chord progression is I-IV-V-I. Shut up and enjoy.

You're kidding, I hope. That's laziest most boring progression. Like blues. There is no perfect chord progression.

i like how its symmetrical.
Symmetrical is good. :)
its 6 4 5 6 1 5.
or 6 4 5 6 4
7 5 5 5 2 5
and so on.
very handy progression.
Admittedly, I'm pedantic and also late to this thread (a winning combination of personal traits, no doubt...), but I liked your cunning text layout puzzle of the chord sequence viivvviiv Vurt.

Given how you hint that it is symmetrical, your chord sequence must only be 5255525, nothing else.
(64564 is not symmetrical).


@OP, actually there is a perfect chord progression, which is the one formed by the “V – I” progression (Dominant – Tonic).
Some cheeky musicians also like to throw in a subdominant beforehand...
:P
