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.
