THE BASICS

What is a chord progression?

A chord progression is a sequence of chords played in order—the hidden structure behind your song. — The melody, the rhythm, the mood—it all lives on top of this framework. When you find a progression that fits your vibe, the rest of the song starts to fall into place.

HOW THEY WORK

Every progression lives inside a scale.

A scale is a group of notes that sound good—and unique—together. Your progression lives inside it. Shift the scale, and you instantly change the atmosphere of your song.

Major sounds bright. Minor darker. Modal sounds ancient or cinematic.

Confused? That is normal.

Browse by mood. Find a progression that feels right and start from there.
