Transposition Chart, Chord finder etc.

Transposition Chart. Please bear in mind that there are all levels of players on the forum, I am not trying to teach any pro's how to suck eggs.
That being said you \"never\" stop learning

The chart can be used in several ways. 1) to transpose from one key to another. 2) to determine what notes are in any chord. 3) To access the basic chords in any key. To determine the relative minor of any major key. Plus many other uses. I put it together some years ago when I was teaching. Hope you can find a good use for it.

Minor keys are built on the 6th degree of the major key e.g. C=AM

A while ago, I made this to tell me the notes of any chords. It was made as a basis of a graphical thing that I never had time to make.

Thanks for the cheet sheets. Looks like something I could print out and use for myself (even though I play bass in my current band).

Thanks for posting, some interesting circle relationships I've never noticed before. Although they do make perfect sense - for example, how the key of D begins two circles apart from C, logically so since it's the secondary dominant.

Can you post an example of how this chart is used to transpose from one key to another? Or more specifically, how you'd use it to facilitate the process.

It's instrument-independent, I'm sure you'll find it useful.

Yeah, I was just poking a little fun at myself as a hack bass player. Like this:

Q: How does a rock bass player count 7/8 time?

A: one, two, three, four, five, six, sev, en, one, two, three.....

To use transposition chart here is what you do... Your post went into the power chord post...hence my \"what do you mean.\"..sorry about that iliace.

Say we want to transpose from the key of \"C\"to \"A\" In the original music key of \"C\" lets say you have AM look along the C line and find \"A\" 6th degree Then run down to key of \"A\" and you will see in the new key of \"A\" it will become F#M Original key \"G\" will bocome \"E\" and so on. This can also be done on a note for note basis in the same manner.

If you want to find the notes in any chord...lets say the standard Major triad chord here is what you do Major chord is built on the !st =3rd and 5th In \"C\" this is C.E G. any combination of these notes will give you the \"C\" chord. However If \"C\" isn't the root or 1st note the chord will be an Inversion of \"C\" although still \"C\" Minor chords are built on !st flattened 3rd and 5th so CMin will have the notes C Eb G so to change from major to minor you just Flatten the 3rd,, in the case of \"C\" thats Eb

Also Ednrg has an online finder here: http://www.nrgcreations.com/NRGFindChordNoAjax/Default.aspx


If you want to find the 3 basic chords in any key they are built on the !st (Key) 4th and 5th The 5th degree is always a 7th chord therefore the 3 basic chords in the key of \"C\" are C F and G7 The seventh will lead you back into the Keynote C This is why its also used to modulate from one key to another say you are playing in C and want to modulate to \"G\" before going into G when ending the run in C play the dominant 7th of the key you are going to in this case D7 for G a smooth trasistion takes place.

There are many more things the chart can be used for...I will add these later I I feel it will be beneficial.
