Chord progressions in C minor in open voicings, on bass

A progression in C minor loops, strummed the way the app strums it, each chord in open voicings — spread triads, the voices spread past an octave — the app's useful shapes — lit on the bass as it sounds and the whole key drawn under it. Play over it; N draws a new loop. Nothing listens here, in the browser or in the app — there, Explore suggests what to play over the loop, and leads on to the games that do.
