Where the note is actually placed in the chord voicing is largely irrelevant in a way. So what can we really extract here in terms of what's going on in the larger picture? How were we able to generalize the pattern derived from closed voicings to drop 2? This is all possible becasue what we're exploiting is that all a scale is doing is defining a relative ordering of the pitches.

Middle note moves down one scale degreeĬould we also apply the same idea starting with a drop 2 chord? Why not?.

Bottom note moves down one scale degree.

So what are the voice leading patterns I referenced earlier? Taking a closer look at the progressions you'll notice they each have a pattern of three steps which repeats to generate the different chords. If you analyze the common chord tones between sucessive chords in the cycles you get the following observations. The cycle 2/7 pair below doesn't align exactly as they were transposed by an octave to make them easier to read. It is worth noting that each of the different cycles has a reverse corresponding to the inversion of the interval describing the root motion. You can have cycle 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 progressions (as those are all the basic distances for the intervals).īelow we have an example of each. In a cycle 4 progression the root motion occurs in 5ths. In a cycle 2 progression the root motion occurs in seconds. The default progressions are classified by the root motion between successive chords (but could be expanded to any set of criteria if desired).

So how does this work? All the software really does is repeatedly apply a series of voice leading patterns to produce different types of chord progressions.

The code also makes heavy use of the music21 library. Output files are MusicXML so you need something like MuseScore to read them. The range restrictions aren't mandatory and theoretically could be adapted for any other instrument (stringed or not) beyond the guitar as they're currently written for. This makes it so only one voicing for each chord will appear in the cycle and you won't get any voicing being an octave higher/lower than any other. natural, harmonic, minor).Ĭode is also included to enforce the range conditions based on arbitary ranges or pre-defined string ranges. It supports and has been tested for closed/drop 2 triads derived from major scales as well as the three different minor scales (i.e.

Try the chord exercises and learn how to identify, write, and play chords. Press and hold the shift key (⇧) and use the top two keyboard rows to play the top two guitar strings. Each of the four keyboard rows correspond to a string. You can play multiple notes at the same time.Ĭlick on the strings or use your keyboard to play the guitar and ukulele. The keyboard's first row of letters correspond to the white keys, and the row of numbers correspond to the black keys. Click the button "Show note names" to show note names instead of fingering.Ĭlick on the piano keys or use your keyboard to play the piano. The number "1" is the index finger, "2" is the middle finger, "3" is the ring finger, and "4" is the pinky. On the guitar and ukulele, numbers indicate which fingers you should use to hold the strings. Play the selected chord by clicking the "Play chord" button or by pressing the spacebar on your keyboard. Click the "Instrument" button to switch between piano, guitar, ukulele, and music notation. Start by selecting a root note and chord type at the top. Find chords on the piano, guitar, and ukulele
