Hi as in topic, duration 6:34m "Rock - Pop Song", I D I Csus2 I G I D II is it still V, IV, I, V progression, i ask becouse it feels that D schould be home chord. So maybe D is I, G is IV, and C is bVII like in "back door" progression. How to correctly explain it.
Regards, Peter

You’re more right than you think.
What you’re hearing is a D mixolydian progression. When the D feels like home and you get that “rock n roll” C chord in the progression it’s gotta be mixolydian. Lots of rock songs do this - Sweet Child O Mine for example.
If notated on a chart this would be expressed either as G Major or D Mixolydian.

To further explain, when D feels like home and you get the C natural rather than C# in the progression (ie b7), this indicates that it’s not D Major but D mixo.

Here is Tomo's comment:

"Thanks so much for subscribing to my Guitar Wisdom. The way that you think about it depends on the duration of chords and patterns. You can definitely feel it as I bVII IV I."

Thank you for help and explanation, I studied a little bit and now I know it is for sure mixolydian progression
