Progressions in F — Octave Mandolin

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

F major harmonizes to F – Gm – Am – A# – C – Dm – E°; F minor to Fm – G° – G# – A#m – Cm – C# – D#. Each chord links to its Octave Mandolin shapes, so backing a tune in F 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.
