The ChordCraft Library

Every chord formula, scale, mode, named progression and theory explainer behind ChordCraft Lab — 106 entries, spelled in C, searchable, and written to be used at the keyboard rather than memorised.

What's inside
  • 34 chords Every chord quality with its formula, its spelling in C, and what it's actually for.
  • 26 scales & modes Modes, minor forms, pentatonics, symmetrical and exotic scales — with the sound of each.
  • 32 progressions Named progressions in roman numerals and in C, from four-chord pop loops to Coltrane changes.
  • 14 theory Written explainers that connect the tables: intervals, function, voice leading, substitution, form.
How it works
  • Everything is spelled in C so the shapes line up. Transpose the formula, not the notes.
  • One search box across all four sections — type "dominant", "modal" or "cadence".
  • $29 once, lifetime access — no subscription, and free updates as it grows.
  • Already a Pro member? It's included with your plan — just sign in.

Major

CTriads

1 · 3 · 5  ·  in C: C E G

The home chord. Stable, finished, and the reference every other quality is measured against.

Minor

CmTriads

1 · ♭3 · 5  ·  in C: C E♭ G

Same skeleton as major with the third lowered a semitone. That one note carries the whole mood change.

Diminished

Triads

1 · ♭3 · ♭5  ·  in C: C E♭ G♭

Two stacked minor thirds. Unstable on purpose — use it as a passing chord between two stable ones.

Augmented

C+Triads

1 · 3 · ♯5  ·  in C: C E G♯

Raised fifth pulls upward. Perfect as a one-bar lift between I and vi, or under a rising melody.
