Chord Progressions

The Chords page shows every chord in the current key on a scrollable piano keyboard, with a library of progressions to loop and practise over.

Chord Type

At the top of the sidebar, six chord type buttons replace the usual scale type selector when you are on the Chords tab.

• Major — the seven diatonic triads of the major scale (I ii iii IV V vi vii°)
• Nat Min — the seven diatonic triads of the natural minor scale
• Maj 7 — seventh chords built on the major scale (Imaj7 iim7 iiim7 IVmaj7 V7 vim7 vii°7)
• Min 7 — seventh chords built on the natural minor scale
• Dom 7 — dominant seventh chord on every degree
• Dim 7 — diminished seventh chord on every degree

Chord Display

Tap any chord row to highlight its notes on the keyboard and hear it play. The chord name, Roman numeral and note names are shown.

Inversions

Each chord has inversion buttons — Root, 1st and 2nd for triads, Root, 1st, 2nd and 3rd for seventh chords. Tap any to hear the inversion and see it on the keyboard.

Key Changes While Looping

While a progression is looping, press Key +3, Relative or Parallel to queue a key change. It fires at the end of the current loop with no interruption.

Relative and Parallel

• Relative — jumps to the relative major or minor (same notes, different root)
• Parallel — jumps to the parallel major or minor (same root, different notes)
