Re: [Harp-L] Fw: Harp keys cheat sheet

["Abner Galdos" <cdgaldos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to thank everyone for sending me all the tips and charts both on and off list... I'm hoping many newbie's out there got a chance to view this stuff... once I started to really look at it, they do become simple... now all I have to do is learn how to figure out the song key...: )

But I do want to thank each and everyone one of you... I have made copies .

thank you guys

  Called the "Circle of Fifths"
  http://korsmo-tech.com/Circle%20of%20Fifths%20wheel.gif

  print it and keep a copy in your wallet.

  Also print one real big and put it on your wall.

  It's the essence of musical keys./ progressions.

  If you want to know what key to play 4th position in using an F harp, look
  at F and go 3 more positions to the right, = Key of D.

  5th position in the key of Bb = ( go 4 more positions to the right = Key of
  D.

  12th position in the key of A . go 11 positions to the right = Key of D.

  Learn it.

  Breathe it.

  Become it.

  Do it.

  zen!
