The Groveland Chord Excavation

The Fields Guides helped you to indentify scales and chords. But actually hiding deep
within those scales are all their component chords, quietly waiting for you to unearth them and
expose them to the light of day. You are well-equipped for the dig...

Select a scale using the dropdown, and then select a degree of the scale. Discover all the chord types laying beneath the surface on that degree of that scale.
