Try This Progression
Since creating OneChord, one thing that never really sat right with me was the Next Chord button.
I’d used a massive dataset (Chordonomicon - 666,000 chord progressions) to look for the most frequent follow-up chord. The result, however, was that all chords eventually led back to C or G, at which point you were playing chord tennis.
It didn’t offer much beyond what the OneChord logo already offered (undocumented random chord button - Shhh!).
I’d been toying with the idea of adding a chord catalogue to the site, but that felt like I was moving away from the minimal concept of OneChord and into some reference site, which is not what I envisioned. I wanted something lighter.
While mocking up a circle of fifths navigator, I had a eureka moment, and realised that progressions were the answer.
A 3 chord progression that mirrors the 3 classic songs, and 3 strums I play on YouTube Shorts, I do not see coincidence. I see providence. I see purpose.
