Music chords (cycle of fifths) templates
Native music-theory diagrams. `type cycle` renders a two-ring cycle of fifths (majors outside, relative minors inside) with optional `highlight` chords filled. `type progression` lays out chord cards in a horizontal strip with Roman-numeral annotations — perfect for teaching ii–V–I, blues, and modal progressions.
Chords — cycle of fifths
Full cycle-of-fifths wheel with majors / relative minors.
Custom / SVGChords — ii–V–I in C
Most common jazz cadence.
Custom / SVGChords — I–V–vi–IV (pop)
Ubiquitous pop progression in C.
Custom / SVGChords — 12-bar blues changes
Three-chord blues progression labelled with Roman numerals.
Custom / SVGKey Chords (Chord Wheel)
The primary chords of C major on the cycle of fifths.
Custom / SVGChords — Full 12-Bar Blues in A (I7–IV7–V7)
All twelve bars of the standard blues form in A with dominant sevenths on every degree: four bars of I7, two of IV7, two of I7, then the V7–IV7–I7–V7 turnaround that sends the form back to the top. One chord card per bar.
Custom / SVGChords — Andalusian Cadence in A Minor (i–♭VII–♭VI–V)
The descending flamenco progression Am–G–F–E: the bass walks down A–G–F–E by step and lands on the major dominant E, whose G♯ is borrowed from the harmonic minor. Numerals are relative to A minor, so the two middle chords are ♭VII and ♭VI.
Custom / SVGChords — Pachelbel's Canon Progression in D
The eight-chord ground of Pachelbel's Canon in D major — I–V–vi–iii–IV–I–IV–V — whose bass falls by fourths and rises by seconds. The same chain of diatonic chords sits under a long list of later songs, which is why it is taught as a pattern rather than a piece.
Custom / SVGChords — Minor ii–V–i in C Minor (half-diminished ii)
The minor-key jazz cadence Dm7♭5–G7–Cm7: the ii chord is half-diminished (iiø7) because D–F–A♭–C is built from C minor, and the V7 takes the raised leading note B♮ from the harmonic minor before resolving to the tonic minor seventh.
Custom / SVGChords — Closely Related Keys of D Major on the Circle of Fifths
The six keys one accidental or fewer away from D major, highlighted on the circle of fifths: D, its neighbours A and G, and their relative minors B minor, F♯ minor and E minor. These are the keys a piece in D most often modulates to.
