Chord progressions in A major in inversions, on guitar

A progression in A major loops, strummed the way the app strums it, each chord in inversions — close-position triads in root position, first and second inversion, voice-led from chord to chord — lit on the guitar 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.

The chords of A major

A major is A B C♯ D E F♯ G♯. The chord on each degree: A (I), Bm (ii), C♯m (iii), D (IV), E (V), F♯m (vi), G♯° (vii°). The loop draws from the 6 you can rest on — A, Bm, C♯m, D, E, F♯m — one or two chords with A in front, or four from the progressions below. Every chord is also on the nest explorer, with its shapes.
