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