Progressions in A# — Mandolin

Every chord the key of A# owns, as GDAE shapes ready to back a tune.

A# major harmonizes to A# – Cm – Dm – D# – F – Gm – A°; A# minor to A#m – C° – C# – D#m – Fm – F# – G#. Each chord links to its Mandolin shapes, so backing a tune in A# starts here and ends under your fingers.

Run the changes that carry the repertoire — I–IV–V for the dance tunes, i–VII–VI where the airs go modal — until moving between shapes stops costing thought.
