what would you say is the correct sequence to the golf swing, especially downswing? is it a start with a bump, shoulders, arms, etc? what exactly happens first, second, or whatever? also, i hear to keep the right shoulder back from some. what if anything does this do, or should it be a worry? thanks for some insight

I think it's pattern specific.
Here's my favorite post on this- it's from Brian and addresses sequencing:
I was reviewing my old notes from posts on here and came across this post. I think it's the best post of all time. I think it should be pinned to the board!
"At address, bend over from the hips enough so you can reach the ball with little or no knee bend, and still can reach past your shirt seam with your left hand (not with a club).
With the butt of the club pointing as near to your belt buckle as you can, use your stomach muscles to move the grip end of the club in the takeaway, as if the head and was stuck in the ground. Use your hands to reach for the spot you want to hit at the the top, pulling all the slack out of your body, all the way down to your left foot.
From the top, start down by using the ground to stretch all the pinch-able fat and skin from the left side of your torso. Make a motion that would throw your arms right off off your body if you had detachable arms like a Mannequin. These arms should hit the ground near the target line just ahead of the ball. RESIST moving the "bowtie" area forward. Stay as bent over as you can and finish with your hands as far from your left ear as you can."
