Or start from a ready-made progression: pop and rock favourites, blues including a standard 12-bar with 7th chords, jazz progressions and one or two-chord vamps for practising modes. Drag the chords to reorder them, and tap the length to change how long each one lasts.
Stuck for ideas? Press Random for a fresh progression in 4/4: a new key and mode, chords that all belong to that key, a groove and a tempo to suit. Keep pressing until something grabs you, then change whatever you like.
There are 32 drum grooves across 4/4, 3/4, 6/8, 5/4 and 7/8, from straight rock and half-time to funk, hip-hop, shuffle and reggae. The bass, guitar and synth follow the style of the groove, and the bass locks in with the kick drum. Add swing, a tambourine, shaker or cowbell, and set the tempo anywhere from 50 to 200 BPM.
The mixer lets you balance drums, bass, guitar, synth pad, percussion and the click. Turn the guitar down to play the chords yourself, or keep it up and solo over the top. If you switch the I play option to bass, the bass part steps aside so you can play it.
