Chord ProgressionS

Post by jerry »

Hello,
i would like to know if can create a chord progression in the following way
I - VI (1st inversion) - II(1st inversion) - V (1st inversion) - I

The main question is if there is a way to create chord progressions using inversions.


Thanks a lot

Hi,

Unfortunately, this is not possible yet, but that feature is planned.

Hey! That's a cool question about chord progressions with inversions. Absolutely, you can create progressions exactly like that! In fact, using inversions like you described (I - VI - II - V - I all with the VI, II, and V in first inversion) is a pretty common technique to create smoother bass lines and more interesting harmonic movement. It can give a progression a really nice "walking" feel. Experiment with it and see if you like the sound! Though be careful, too many inversions in a row can sound a little... Sprunki. 😉 Good luck!
