Does vi go to III?

VI or #vi° chords lead to i, III, III+, iv, IV, V, v, vii°, or VII chords. vii° or VII chords lead to i chord.

Can VI GO V?

Because it is a pre-dominant, vi can progress directly to V, but this is much less common and the voice-leading is unusually hazardous (especially in a minor key), necessitating contrary motion in the outer voices.

What is a 3 chord progression?

A common type of three-chord song is the simple twelve-bar blues used in blues and rock and roll. Typically, the three chords used are the chords on the tonic, subdominant, and dominant (scale degrees I, IV and V): in the key of C, these would be the C, F and G chords.

What is a III chord?

The mediant chord functions as a very weak pre-dominant — so weak that it almost always leads to stronger pre-dominant chords, rarely progressing directly to V. One of its most important uses is to harmonize 7 as it descends in the melody.
