Short answer

A chord progression is a repeating order of chords written in Roman numerals, so the same pattern works in any key. In C major the pop loop I–V–vi–IV is C, G, Am, F, and the jazz ii–V–I is Dm7, G7, Cmaj7. Pick a pattern, then pick the key you want to play it in.

I-V-vi-IV (the 'pop progression') powers thousands of hits. ii-V-I is the heart of jazz. 12-bar blues uses I-IV-V. Canon (I-V-vi-iii-IV-I-IV-V) is everywhere in classical and ballads. The library has all of these in every key.
How do I transpose a progression to another key?
Each progression here is built from Roman numerals (I, IV, V, vi…): the numbers stay the same regardless of key, only the chord names change. Click the key selector to instantly retune the entire progression to any of the twelve major or minor keys.
