Using the chord editor

Create backing tracks with the piano, guitar, bass, and drums. Select a tempo and style at the top and enter chords by clicking the chord boxes or the "+" icon. Play your track by clicking the "Play" button or by pressing the spacebar on your keyboard.

For example, you can use the chord editor to:

• Find new chord progressions.
• Create backing tracks for playing and singing.
• Create backing tracks for improvisation.

Click "Generate chords" to randomly produce a chord progression from a list of common progressions in the chosen style. Click "Add section" to add a new section of chords. Click "Instruments" to switch instruments.

Click "File" to save and share your chords. Please note that you must be logged in to use these features. Once you've saved your chords, an "Open" link will appear in the file menu, allowing you to access your saved chords.

Drag and drop chords to change their order. To remove a chord, drag the chord outside of the gray box. To change the length of the chord, drag the right side of a chord box to the left or right. You can also change the length by clicking the chord.
