Think it will help? I figure If I put it over the TV I should be checking it all the time. No pun intended.

Cheers,

Max

That is a great idea, I think.

Pretty good idea. I know I used to use the circle of fifths alot for transposing and such. Now that I have a better handle on things I dont explicitly use the circle anymore but its a helpful thing to know. Although I still have a circle of fifths on my windows desktop as well as a couple other useful things for quick reference.

It's not hard to make for yourself. A couple of years ago, I made a "chromatic clock", using a cheap clock (it was a freebie for advertising) and a CD label.

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

Ive been considering printing one on photo paper and replacing the face on an old clock.

Cheers,

You know, I think Paul should offer one with the GuitarNoise logo through the GuitarNoise shop.

I think he should offer a customized coin/medallion with the circle of fifths on it. Maybe have a designing contest? Here are some examples: http://www.coinsforanything.com/sample_coins.htm

1. It shows you the # of sharps and flats in all keys.
Start at C - no sharps or flats - go clockwise and you increase one sharp for every hour - G 1 sharp (G A B C D E F# G) D 2 sharps (D E F# G A B C# D) etc. Go counterclockwise for flats: F 1 flat (F G A Bb C D E F) Bb two flats (Bb C D Eb F G A Bb) etc.
2. It tells which notes to sharp / flat - sharps: start at F (first shapr in G), 2 sharps (D major) F AND C, 3 sharps (A major) F, C AND G... Again, for flats start at Bb (F major), 2 flats (Bb major) F AND Eb, 3 flats (Eb major) Bb, Eb and Ab.
3. For finding relative minor (or whatever you call it in English) move 4 hours forward - A minor to C major. C# minor to E major etc...

Smokehouse,
I have another diagramme on my site, which may show it a bit more clearly.

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
