Hey dunks, instead of worrying aboot teh circle of filth, it's much more useful to learn two little interval phrases, which will let you work out any scale at all, without remembering much.
MAjor scale - tone tone semi-tone, tone tone tone semi-tone
Minor Scale - tone semi-tone tone, tone tone tone semitone
( all corrections welcome)
See, the circle of filth is really just so you can look at a key signature , and decipher what teh key is. But if you know a song is in D , or E , then that has no further use.
Once you can work out scales though, musical life gets more interesting.
Here, just use this - each number represents a degree of the scale.
I give this to all my students - this will let you play through any key.
Example - C-MAJOR SCALE (C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C): 1=C, 2=D, 3=E, 4=F, 5=G, 6=A, 7=B. click here: SCALES & MODES
Have fun - Cheers . . .
