I had been looking at your Note Names and Intervals diagram only in a horizontal direction with each key as an independent entity from the other keys. Thanks a lot Steve, incidently my mother lived in her house that was attached to her store "The Broken Arrow Trading Post" on hwy 60 in Wickenburg from 1959 to 2001 when she passed away, I was born in Bisbee AZ.

How can the chart be improved so it's not so confusing? Would some lines or other directions help do you think? Thanks for any input.

I'm sorry to hear that your mother's gone. My wife and I visited Bisbee and the Queen Mine a couple of years ago. Since mining's not so much the thing of the town anymore, artists have moved in.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
