What it is

A clear circle of fifths chart: the 12 major keys on the outer ring, their relative minor keys on the inner ring, and the key signature (number of sharps or flats) for each position.

How to use it

Print at 100% on A4 or US Letter, or scale it up at a print shop for a wall poster.
Hang it where you practise and glance at it whenever you need a key signature or related chords.

How to read it

Clockwise from C: each step adds one sharp (G, D, A, E, B, F#).
Counter-clockwise from C: each step adds one flat (F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb).
Inner ring: the relative minor with the same signature.
Neighbouring keys share six of seven notes, so they are the most closely related keys.
For any key, the neighbours on the left and right are its IV and V chords.
