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