Why chords matter →How Music Progressions Shape Your Sound
Every piece of music—from a three-chord punk anthem to a complex jazz standard—is built on a progression. A music progression is a sequence of chords that creates the harmonic journey of your song. It's what makes a verse feel like a verse and a chorus feel like a chorus.
Different genres have different harmonic conventions. Pop music tends toward bright, major-key progressions that resolve satisfyingly. Jazz uses extended chords and sophisticated voice leading. Hip hop often leans into minor keys with soulful, sample-inspired changes. Lo-fi embraces jazzy 7th chords with a nostalgic, warm quality.
A music progression generator understands these conventions. When you select a genre, it draws from patterns that are characteristic of that style. The result is progressions that don't just work harmonically—they sound authentic to the genre you're producing in.
The best part? You don't need to understand any of this theory to use it. Just pick your genre, generate, and let your ears guide you. The generator handles the harmonic heavy lifting while you focus on being creative.
