A chord progression is determined by the key (scale), not the way you ask.
It is also determined by the mode - major or minor.
Also the purpose of the progression. Is it to modulate. Is it to give a cadence?

If I am given a random chord progression like Am, F, C, G, how do I know which pentatonic scale to play though so the notes in it sound good with the chords? Wouldn’t the Am pentatonic scale work?01/02/19
