Choose a Key and see the Chords
You can use the key slide to explore which chords you want to use for your song. You might choose a key because you already know the chords (shown in the small chord windows), or because it's a pitch that suits your singing voice, or just to try something new.
There are seven chords available in each key* (4 major and 3 minor) and each chord in the key is built on one of the 7 notes of the scale (a scale is a sequence of the seven notes of the key, played in order).
There are seven chords available in each key* (4 major and 3 minor) and each chord in the key is built on one of the 7 notes of the scale (a scale is a sequence of the seven notes of the key, played in order).
For example, if you select the key of A you can see that you will be choosing from the chords A, D, E, and G#dim* (Major chords) and Bm, C#m and F#m (minor chords). Each has a Roman numeral (I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi and VIIº) depending on where in the scale it is.
Move the slide to select a different key and see which chords you can play in that key.
