Well said Dermot!
Personally when playing I do look at the chordprogression as in numbers, degrees, whatever. But you're right, you really need to know the scales/chords, then again, if you know the names of the notes on the bottomstrings, then you're all set in ány key!

For example a chord progression ....... I IV V I
The assumption being you know the notes and chords of a key.
The I IV I V is universal in that it transfers to all scales and harmonised key chords without musical name detail ?
For example - assuming you know the notes of all scales:
The same stands for scale notes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ..... the note number transfers to any scale, without naming a note so it's a universal naming convention !
Of course you need to know which key your in first, then apply the numbers ( universal names) appropriately etc.
