Circle of fifths text table

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The circle of fifths text table shows the number of flats or sharps in each of the diatonic musical scales and keys. Both C major and A minor keys have no flats or sharps.

In the table, minor keys are written with lowercase letters, for brevity. However, in common guitar tabs notation, a minor key is designated with a lowercase "m". For example, A-minor is "Am" and D-sharp minor is "Dm").

The small interval between equivalent notes, such as F-sharp and G-flat, is the Pythagorean comma. Minor scales start with la, major scales start with do.
