Chord Progression Generator
Pick a key and a common progression to see, hear and copy the actual chords, correctly spelled from that key's diatonic (in-key) chords.
About this tool
Each progression is expressed in Roman numerals (I, ii, V, etc.) relative to the key, then translated into real chord names using that key's diatonic chord qualities — major keys and natural minor keys use different quality patterns.
Because each chord is built from the notes of the key, the spelling is always right for that key: in F major the IV chord is B♭, and in E♭ minor the v chord is B♭ minor, not A♯ minor. In minor keys the V chord is usually played as a major chord, borrowing the raised 7th from the harmonic minor scale, because that gives the strong pull back home you hear in most songs and classical pieces; untick the option for the softer natural-minor v. Tick “7th chords” for a jazzier sound, and press play to hear the progression at your chosen tempo.
