ivm/1 + = aug, º = dim, º7 = dim7

2,sus V/1 Chords in italics have been respelled:
bVI7 = bVI(aug6)

Suggestions for Use

1 - Begin with the blue boxes. Start at i. Jump to another blue area. Follow the arrows back toward i. (Example: i-iv-V-i)
2 - Start with any blue box. Create a 3 or 4-chord progression by following the arrows. (Examples: iiº-V-i or VI-iv-iiº-V)
3 - You may jump to a green location at any time. When you do, there is a tendency to follow the arrows back toward the blue locations.
4 - If two locations have the same name, you may switch from one to the other. This gives more options for choosing the next chord.
5 - The arrows point to the entire location, not just the left or right option, but some options may work better than others. The arrows
indicate strong, natural-sounding progressions. For interest, sometimes go opposite the direction of the arrows.

The expression X/Y indicates chord X with scale note Y in the bass.
