+There’s something about lo-fi chords that give them a [41]nostalgic feeling
+though.
+
+The pairing of[42] jazz harmony with a [43]lo-fi aesthetic will get you there
+most of the time, but there are specific chords and chord progressions that can
+really hook a listener in.
+
+In this article, I’m going to cover lo-fi chord progressions that’ll make your
+lo-fi beats stand out.
+
+I’ll also explain what colours and textures you can use on your lo-fi chords to
+[44]achieve a retro, nostalgic sound.
+
+I’ll be using some [45]music theory lingo in this article, and I’ll be linking
+to several resources along the way—just in case you happen to get lost.

+If you want to use these lo-fi chords and progressions in your productions, 
+[47]get the MIDI files here.
+
+
+1. Dmin11 – Ebmin11
+
+This simple two-chord progression goes a long way. I know what you’re thinking–
+only two chords?
+
+Hear me out. This chord progression uses parallelism. The chords are only a
+semitone away from each other, but the sonic difference is astounding.
+
+This chord progression uses [48]extensions like the ninth, and eleventh of the
+scale they’re from.
+
+Adding these colours will make your chords sound more lush and [49]emotional.

+
+2. Dmin11 – Gmin7 – Dmin11 – Ebmin11 – C#dim7
+
+I heard you complaining about the lack of chords in the last progression, so I
+expanded on it.
+
+It starts with the same chord as the first progression, but I’ve added a Gmin11
+and C#dim7 chord.
+
+[52]Diminished chords function as a dominant chord, so they work well to get
+you back home.
+
+Diminished chords are built on minor third intervals. This gives them a very
+dark, but sophisticated sound.
+
+Perfect to use in any [53]lo-fi beat you’ve got on the go.
+
+3. Amin11 – D7 – Fmaj7 – Cmaj7
+
+This progression has some of the most emotional harmonic movement you’ll ever
+hear. It happens when the D7 chord falls to the F major 7.
+
+This happens because D7 and F major share several of the same notes–except one.
+
+The F sharp falling to F natural is at the core of what makes this progression
+so emotional.
+
+Finishing off on a C major 7 chord keeps the mood uplifting, before returning
+to its minor counterpart.

+
+4. Fmin9 – Ebmaj9
+
+This one is a lot like the first chord progression. It’s not completely
+parallel, but the root movement is similar.
+
+The change from minor to major is what gives this progression its own vibe.
+
+The added ninth to the Ebmaj7 chord makes this one sound very uplifting–making
+it perfect for any happier Lo-fi jams you’ve got going on.
+
+5. Cmin11 – Fmin9 – Cmin11 – G7#5
+
+This progression contains a chord with some serious texture happening. I’m
+talking about the sharp 5 on the G7 chord.
+
+Also known as an augmented seventh chord, the G7#5 carries a weight that
+resolves nicely back to the Cmin11.
+
+This type of chord always carries a mysterious but nostalgic feeling whenever I
+hear it. It’s no wonder that you’ll find it in several Lo-fi jams.

+
+6. Ebmaj9 – Abmaj13
+
+This progression might be the happiest in this list. It’s completely major,
+with some nice extensions to boot.
+
+I know, we’re working with two chords again. If you’re working on a slow bop
+this might be all you need.
+
+The F note that is the major ninth extension on the Ebmaj9 chord remains static
+moving into the Abmaj13 chord. It becomes the thirteenth! This static movement
+makes this chord progression dense, but colourful.

+
+7. Gmaj7 – F#min7 – Amin7b5
+
+You’ve arrived at the most chill sounding progression in this list. The reason
+why this chord progression brings the chill factor is the last chord that turns
+around to the top.
+
+The minor seven flat five, or half-diminished chord carries a darker colour
+than a regular minor chord. It’s borrowed from the parallel [59]minor key and
+serves as a plagal [60]cadence back to the G major chord.
+
+It’s a little out of place, but most chill things usually are.

+
+Just like the last progression, this one has another unique type of chord
+quality that brings home the mystery factor.
+
+I’m talking about the minor-major seven chord. It’s built with a minor triad
+but includes a major 7 on top.
+
+This chord is one that you might associate with mysterious moments in old
+thriller movies.
+
+That’s why I think this chord reigns in the nostalgia factor. It’s a perfect
+way to get back home in this minor sounding progression.

+
+9. CMaj9 – B7aug5#9 – Emin9 – EbMaj7Aug5 – Dmaj7 – DbMaj7Aug5 – CMaj7 – F/B
+
+Here’s a very [64]soulful chord progression that ends with a nostalgic sounding
+2-5-1 progression,
+
+What makes this progression so interesting is all the augmented passing chords
+between each diatonic chord.
+
+These augmented chords don’t really belong to the key and are fairly dissonant,
+but they’re great when used as a pathway to the more pleasing major and minor
+sevenths and nine chords.
+
+The chord progression also ends in a very sweet yet mysterious F/B chord that
+implies that the chord progression has places to go next.
+
+ 
+
+10. Cmin9 – Fmin9 – F/G – DbMaj9 – Cmin9 – Fmin9 – F/G – G7b9aug5
+
+Here’s a nice chord progression in C minor that makes some interesting moves in
+the bass.
+
+Moving from Cmin9 to Fmin9 it’s interesting to then go a tone above Fmin9 to G
+major while still keeping the F in the bass.
+

+
+Our favorite lo-fi sounds
+
+[65]Get Floral - Lofi JazzHop
+
+This lateral movement is cool because it keeps an F note in the bass from the
+previous chord while moving to G major.
+
+Depending on where you want to go with the chord progression, you could also
+alternate between a DbMaj9 chord instead of the G7b9aug5 chord at the end.
+
+11. F#Maj9 – BMaj9 – AMaj9 – EMaj9 – F#Maj9 – BMaj9 – AMaj9 – DMaj9
+
+Here’s a great example of how exclusively using one type of chord—in this case
+the major 9 chord—is a totally great way to make a soulful lofi chord
+progression.
+
+The trick of course is to find ways of voicing and spacing the chords together
+so they blend nicely on the keyboard and are ultimately easier to play.
+
+Shown in this example is just one way of voicing this chord progression, but
+don’t be afraid to take the artistic license to decide how a chord progression
+like this should be voiced.

+Nostalgia in Numbers
+
+It’s interesting that these colorful chords make us feel a certain way,
+especially when they’re paired together in a chord progression.
+
+Knowing how to colour your chords is one of the benefits of knowing music
+theory. So, keep learning and keep painting lo-fi music.
