Little help needed

Afternoon all.
Im gonna sound like a propper noob after this but who cares.

My guitard writes all our songs and basically just tells me the roots n ill build something around it. What I want to do though is throw him some chords and tell him to write something around what ive wrote, the big issue with this is I dont have the first clue with chord progressions.
Just wondering if there is a resorse out there somewhere that can point me in the right direction. All im after is something that will tell me what'd work to progress something like G-E-C-D-?-?
Dont suppose there's a guitar pro tab out there with a simple guitar track(s) like D-G-A-Bm-D-EM-A-A is there?

Thanks

Basic chord sequences follow a specific pattern known as chrod chemistry. In your sequence (assuming the G to be a major) it could be Gmaj, Emin, Cmaj, D7. Do a Google search for chord chemistry, there are a lot of resources.

Nice one. Thanks!

With the stuff I write we avoid "chord chemistry" at all costs to give us an original take on the game. As soon as a riff starts sounding like something we've already heard we call "cheese" and go find the evilness. We write some right discordant stuff but then the vocals miraculously pull it all together somehow and it all comes out sounding clever.

I say just write the riffs that float your boat then jam them with the guitar until you find what sounds best - not what the theory tells you to do.
