Progressions
A library of common ukulele chord progressions — the Hawaiian vamp, 12-bar blues, jazzy turnarounds — each one playing against a full live band, so you're locking in chord changes against real drums, bass, and keys instead of counting through them in silence.
Knowing where your fingers go for a chord and knowing how to move them on the beat are two different skills, and most practice tools only train the first one. Progressions is built around the second. Every progression in the library — the Hawaiian vamp, 12-bar blues, a jazzy ii-V-I turnaround, the pop I-V-vi-IV, and more — plays with a full band behind it, so changing chords becomes something you do to a groove, not something you do into silence.
The progression library
Progressions opens on a list of cards, one per progression. Each card lays out its chord blocks in order, its genre, and its tempo, and every block is colored by harmonic function — tonic, subdominant, or dominant — rather than just labeled with a chord name. Tap the inline play button on any card and a live band preview starts right there in the list, so you can hear what a progression sounds like before you commit to opening it.
Function coloring earns its keep more on ukulele than the chord letters let on. The Hawaiian vamp is the same tonic-subdominant-tonic-dominant shape whether it's sitting in C or in G — the chord names change, the colors don't. Once you're reading color instead of letters, that shape jumps out everywhere it hides, which on ukulele is often.
Practicing a progression
Tap into a progression and it opens full-screen, focused on that one progression and nothing else. A NOW badge tracks the live chord as the band plays through it, next to a four-string fingering diagram for whatever chord is current and a suggested strum pattern to play it with. A key picker sits within reach the whole time — change it and the chord blocks, the fingering diagram, and the band all transpose together, so you can work the same vamp in whichever key actually fits your voice. Tempo and swing controls are right there too, for slowing a fast turnaround down or adding swing to a blues without leaving the screen.
Full band or just a click
Every progression can play two ways: the full drums/bass/keys arrangement, or a plain metronome click with the chords still advancing on schedule. The band is there to give you something to lock into while the changes are still new. The click strips that away and leaves just the timing — worth switching to once the band's help isn't what you need anymore.
