Chord progressions in D minor in open voicings, on piano

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