Cheers Rick, I don’t think I need to do it for all the keys, as my memory for that kind of thing is not great and I find it easier just to think of where things are on the circle of 5ths and the barre chords on my guitar.
I just wasn’t sure if I was missing a trick here, as Justin says in the minor lesson that it gets really complicated with melodic/harmonic/natural minors etc.

No, no, no, no NOOOOO… 
I simply need to know if it was a typo.
I do not need to explore another rabbit hole in this warren.
I’m having a creative day, not an intellectual one

Short answer…
Copy / paste error methinks.
I will correct it.
RE: the all caps for all cjords in the 10 common progressions … I recall Justin saying or writing that is a deliberate choice (rather than upper for major only and lower for minor) though I don’t recall why just at the moment.
There, no mental effort required.
Phew.
ps
Marching on that there London?
I hope it is in a good cause.

What would really, really, help in this lesson would be to include the main barre chord shapes below the video. Basically something like this:

@Pronewbie I get your point and appreciate you posting a clear graphic. Justin does post a link to his lessons on barre chords within the Learn More content of the lesson however.
Hello all,
would like to place a little ask here…
I am grade 1 and I can play E, A, D, Em, Am, Dm, G and C. I really cant play F, but I would like to start doing some chord progression that makes sense so I can feel more like I play some nice music. Got acoustic and electric guitar… I can feel F is easier on electric, but I cant do it yet.
Right now I am doing lot of DDUUD and changing G, Em, Am and C. That sounds pretty good to me, but I would like to practice something right… checked Google of course and there are lot of tutorials… I believe more to this community.
Can you please give me some examples of chord progressions that I can play with MY chords? 
Thanks, Mike
Michal, re: your question …
Here are the ten progressions using Roman numerals.
Important: Justin uses all CAPITALS for both major and minor chords.
I am going to change that (for ease of reading) so that major chords are upper case and minor chords are lower case.
1] I - V - vi - IV
2] I - vi - ii - V
3] I - vi - IV - V
4] I - vi - iii - V
5] I - iii - IV - V
6] I - V - IV - V
7] I - V- ii - IV
8] iii - vi - ii - V
9] vi - IV - V - I
10] I - IV - I - V
The chord you have learned can be placed in several common keys. Doing so will allow you to see which is the I, which the ii, the ii, the IV, the V and the vi. The vii (diminished chord) is not included).
Key of A:
A, Bm, C#m, D, E, F#m
Key of C:
C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am
Key of D
D, Em, F#m, G, A, Bm
Key of E
E, F#m, G#m, A, B, C#m
Key of G
G, Am, Bm, C, D, Em
I have typed in bold font the chords you can currently play.
In the key of A they are I, IV and V.
In the key of C they are all chords I to vi.
In the key of D they are I, ii, IV and V.
In the key of E they are just I and IV.
In the key of G they are I, ii, IV, V and vi.
I hope that helps.
Cheers

I recently dropped this screenshot into @sairfingers topic christmas-new-year-party-singalongs following a “discussion” about learning common chord progressions - a good thing in my book !
I was then asked if I could share the document for folks to print out. So here is a link to the XLS spreadsheet on Google Drive.
Thank you @roger_holland for point out and E normous error in one Key ! Hopefully, everything else is in order.

Hi Toby,
I saw it absolutely by chance and a E has only one line more than an F, it just wouldn’t have been noticeable without glasses and then it was just a typo , I normally never look at these charts , it has been in my head for a while and when I need it I use the guitar in my hand , I never dared to hope that I would know this by heart and if you did this 3 years ago If you had told me that that was possible, I would have given you the name Madman … 
By not “cheating” it helped me learn quickly and it helped me unfold the fretboard and I can now play chords in a key all over the neck without thinking about it
But many people will be happy with such an overview
Greetings

Omy goodness dear Toby, I’m starting a crowdfunding for a new keyboard … or … or … you don’t buy guitar or gear for 2 months and buy 1 and 10 in stock 
I see that this is a lesson related topic so I won’t go into further oftopic,
But for anyone who is going to do music theory it is a good idea to have decent writing materials or a decent keyboard
Greetings and have fun all with the theory course

Great share Toby.
If anyone wants to follow that path and have a ready reckoner there is the Circle of Fifths.
Major chords on the outer wheel. Minor chords on the inner wheel. Groups of six diatonic chords in any key cluster together (three major and three minor chords).
Use a movable label system such as shown below.
The major chords are always IV, I, V reading clockwise.
The minor chords are always ii, vi, iii reading clockwise.

Fear not my friend. When I changed PCs a few years back I did not really like the kbd that arrived with it so the current one is getting very old and tired. Now as I never throw anything useful away, this has been retrieved from the loft. Just needs and extension cable and adapter. Case closed.

Hi Toby. Is there any reason why there is not a 1245 progression in your chart or is it just a case that it’s not so common and clearly a chart can’t have everything.

These are the ones Justin lists in the PMT, so I guess that’s not on his top 10 radar. This was a lift and shift and then I just added the more frequently used Keys or as many as I had the patients to add into the spreadsheet !

Hi Peeps
With my on going review of Grades 1 and 2, I noticed today that the 5 Common Chord Progressions Justin lists in Grade 2 Module 10 Lesson 10, includes some differences to his old Top Ten list in the Practical Music Theory course - which I may now have to revisit also
So I have added Justin’s Grade 2 Top 5 to my spreadsheet of which #2 to #4 were not listed in the old PMT (those highlighted blue are the ones in the G2M10 lesson). Again I have highlighted open chords (in yellow) and included the F chord but as I said before, it could be substituted with an easier Fmaj7.
So you now have 13 Common Chord Progressions to play with. Some may consider that an unlucky number but I could always add a Tritone Progression to appease the spirits and keep the metal heads happy. 
I’ll update the copy on my Drive (which I shared earlier) later today, as I’m off for a lay down after filling all those new boxes.
