In creating music, especially for beginners, one should listen more and think less.

Advanced players will find their own way and some will enjoy theoretical explanations more than others -- but I generally don't like to over explain the mechanics to a beginner who is yet unable to hear what sounds harmonious and what doesn't (not to mention musicians who deliberately aim for dissonance and other atypical progressions). There is no written explanation that could ever compensate for that.

To the OP, most if not all chord progressions have already been written. My recommendation is to study existing pieces in the genres that you're interested in, develop your ear, and take it from there to develop your own style and compositions.
