I've don't normally think consciously in terms of chord progressions as such. For me it's much more a matter of following the melody and fitting in chords that fits the main notes, from a limited number that I'll know are available in any particular key I'm playing in.

It comes to the same thing in many ways, but it's a different way of seeing things from those seem to think in terms of chord sequences as such. That's more common in jazz maybe.
