Chord Progression Help
Never been good at Memorizing chord progressions for all keys, so I made me a little helper program to find, preview and transpose chords. It's a simple programs which list common chords for each key. Maybe someone else find will it useful. http://www.sping.net/audio/Chords.zip

This is really cool! Not being a keyboard player, this is a great tool for me to
learn some basic chords and to listen to how they all work together while assigning them
various sounds.
AWESOME! Thanks a lot!!!

You can use this tool as a learning aid. Since you can click and hear it..... lot's of chances there to learn some new stuff. The short coming to it is that not all chords are available to it. but still a very nice tool for exploring chords and progressions and where chords want to go for resolution.

I was a bit confused about the info in the right column... is there some way to explain it's relevance to us less fluent music readers?

Trying to use common chord symbols. But you can also see the keys. There is a pretty good explanation on the Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_(music) edit: Now this forum is changing my link again. If it fails, copy text to browser.

Ok I see know that you can use the right column to see other chords... I thought you were implying that the 7, 9, maj7, maj9 were components of the basic i triad.
I just did not understand the intent of your gui.

mike

I added what I think are the most common cords in the progression for the selected scale (in pop/jazz). But there are of course many more. But listing all would make it a bit confusing.
I use it on the side of Sonar or Jammer to speed up finding my chords. In Jammer the symbols works while in Sonar the keyboard is needed.

Yes it is a great tool.
I would personally benefit from seeing a larger keyboard map because my eyes are older.
It's a real nice tool... and real nice of you to share it.
best regards,
mike

Well, my old eyes have a huge screen  but a good point, I made the kb a bit bigger. Like to keep the form small not to invade much of the screen though.

Sping:
You don't know how much I struggle with chord theory as a self-taught hacker fool ... trying to write symphonies in Sonar.
This is truly a labor of love.
At my 'low' level, I'm wondering what D and E are doing in the "key of C" here (with their non-white keys) ... etc.
I guess its because they are 'oft used', 'relatives' and/or 'alternates'.
I've seen E(7) used occasionally in the key of C ... but don't remember D
Bumping into Mike's chord gadget reference also has me 'amazed'.
Now, to have guitar strings/frets flash simultaneously with the piano, and/or a palm-pocket-pc version.
Surely this program took months for you to write ... it is exceedingly beautiful art.
The size is perfect for my laptop.

I IV V is I IV V in any key.
I find it a lot easier to remember sequences of 1 6 4 5 than c am f g .
I know my scales quite well so with a numbered sequence i can play the same progression in any key without too much trouble.
