There's lots of discussion on this forum about "resolving" chords. My sense of resolving is to eliminate tension in the melody for example by bringing a lead or melody back to the root.
Is there more to this subject than this? I suspect the subject is much broader.
Another Theory Question- Resolving
As with any thing there is more to it and I will post some info on it if you would like. However, the bottom line is to create tension and relieve the tension. And of course the best way to relieve tension is moving back to the tonic. A couple of devices to do this are the ii, V, I progression and also the V of V, V, I progression.

He guys! This is a hot topic for me as far learning to transcribe a bit better. I sometimes have a difficult time hearing/feeling that "HOME" feeling. I see you posted a couple of progressions to help with this.....As with any thing there is more to it and I will post some info on it if you would like.
