What is a Chord Progression Generator?
Coming up with a good chord progression is often the hardest part of writing a new song. Staring at a blank screen waiting for inspiration to strike can be incredibly frustrating. A chord progression generator helps you beat writer's block by randomly creating chord sequences that actually sound good together.
It uses standard music theory to make sure the chords fit in the same key, so you do not have to worry about hitting any harsh or wrong notes.
How to use the generator
First, pick a key and a scale. If you want a happy sounding song, go with a Major scale. If you want something sad or moody, pick a Minor scale. Then just hit the generate button.
We will instantly show you a sequence of chords that fit perfectly into your chosen key. You can play them on your piano or guitar to see how they sound. If you do not like the progression, just hit generate again until you find something that sparks an idea for your next track.
