To answer your question could you please specify type of chords you are playing ? All major, all minor, mixed etc If its all major chords in that specific order, you have C major scale over C and G chords while Eb (D#) and F major are from C dorian mode (Bb major scale).

Cm, Ddim/Dmin, Eb and Fm/F, that would be progression. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

If those are really majors as you said then you're into 2 keys indeed, C major and C Dorian. But in rock music you'll find lots of progressions like that, one good example is Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit, F,Bb, Ab and Db, all majors (F and Fm keys) while Kurt was playing Fm pentatonic most of the time. There is only one tricky note which is Ab from Fm pentatonic over F chord in progression but even if you play it you might get the flavor you want.
