What chords did Bob Dylan use?
In addition to those, Dylan has used a handful of open-chord tunings, among them open G (D G D G B D), used on “I Was Young When I Left Home,” and open D (D A D F# A D) or open E (E B E G# B E), which he used extensively on Blood on the Tracks. The final few examples in this lesson illustrate some of these tunings.
Can you make your own chord progression?
Giving yourself the time and freedom to explore putting chords together is the only way to write something that works. Use the charts above to play some basic progressions, then start building your own based on what sounds good. There's no real rules for progressions, it's up to your ear in the end.
