Fretsource new lesson - circle of fifths
Hi - just letting you know, I've posted a new lesson explaining the 'circle of fifths' with a diagram. I'm not too happy with the quality of the diagram - it seems to have lost a little definition in the copying (from Word to PDF to BMP to JPG) - actually it's a wonder its readable at all with all those stages
Edit: As usual I forgot to include the link

Dont know if this might help you with the image quality thing Fretsource. but perhaps openning up the PDF and taking a screen capture to the clipboard (prt scr) then just paste that straight into whatever graphics software, and crop the image you want out and save as jpeg....
I might be pointing out something really obvious too :s

Thanks Matty - That's improved the image. I thought I had tried that way earlier and it wasn't so good. But I tried again following your suggestion and it's fine now, at least on my screen.

Thanks Fretsource!
Great lesson, and the diagram is very helpful. I printed the whole thing out and will study it often - I've read some other stuff on the 'net about the "Circle of Fifths", but your lesson puts it into language that's a lot easier to understand than any of the others I've seen.
BTW, the diagram printed out just fine.

Thanks Steve (and others). I've had some good feedback from that diagram, and I'm glad some people have found it useful, especially with the relative minors on the inside of the circle, I think you don't usually see that in circle of fifth diagrams.
Recently a member (obviously blessed with intelligence and taste) described it as 'a beautiful thing' - I've been walking around with a stupid grin ever since.

The GfB&B Guitar Slide Rule
Download the PDF of the 'Guitar Chord Slide Rule', print it out, fold it together and you'll have at your disposal a very neat tool that will not only show you all the positions for the main flavors of chords, but will also teach you a very important lesson about how the guitar works... It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
