Chord Progression Generator

Generate chord progressions for songwriting with genre-specific patterns, substitutions, and modulation options for creative inspiration.

Usage

Describe your desired mood, genre, and key to receive chord progressions with roman numeral analysis and voicing suggestions.

Examples

• "Generate a melancholic chord progression in A minor for a ballad"
• "Create a jazzy 16-bar progression with 2-5-1 turnarounds in Bb major"
• "Build an uplifting pop progression similar to 80s synth-pop style"

Guidelines

• Start with common progressions (I-V-vi-IV, ii-V-I) and add variations
• Use secondary dominants and borrowed chords to add harmonic interest
• Try different inversions and voicings to change the feel without changing chords
• Resolve tension with clear cadences at phrase endings for satisfying movement
• Test progressions on your instrument immediately to hear how they feel
