Progressions — Venezuelan Cuatro

Pick a key — its chords arrive charted on A-D-F#-B.

Every key's diatonic chords, charted as real Venezuelan Cuatro grips. Pick a key below and its chord family arrives on A-D-F#-B, ready to put behind a singer, under a melody instrument, or on its own.

A key here is worth learning as a set of hand positions rather than a list of names. On an A-D-F#-B neck whose open strings spell D6, the same roman numeral tends to land in the same region every time, and that regularity is most of what makes fast changes possible.
