Chord progressions in D♭ minor in inversions, on mandolin
A progression in D♭ minor (C♯ minor) 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 mandolin 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 D♭ minor
D♭ minor — also spelled C♯ minor — is D♭ E♭ F♭ G♭ A♭ B𝄫 C♭. The chord on each degree: D♭m (i), E♭° (ii°), F♭ (III), G♭m (iv), A♭m (v), B𝄫 (VI), C♭ (VII). The loop draws from the 6 you can rest on — D♭m, F♭, G♭m, A♭m, B𝄫, C♭ — one or two chords with D♭m in front, or four from the progressions below. Every chord is also on the nest explorer, with its shapes.
