Chord progressions in E minor in open chords, on guitar
A progression in E minor loops, strummed the way the app strums it, each chord in open chords — the common open-position chords, ringing the open strings — with a capo where the key asks for one — 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 E minor
E minor is E F♯ G A B C D. The chord on each degree: Em (i), F♯° (ii°), G (III), Am (iv), Bm (v), C (VI), D (VII). The loop draws from the 6 you can rest on — Em, G, Am, Bm, C, D — one or two chords with Em in front, or four from the progressions below. Every chord is also on the nest explorer, with its shapes.
