I have adapted the circle and arranged it into a table. The Top Row represents the scale degrees. The other rows represent the scales written out in two octaves. Note that the table is a Circle of 5ths from the Top going Down and a Circle of 4ths from the Bottom going UP. For instance,Eb to Bb is a 5th whereas Eb to Ab is a 4th. This pattern is present for each scale degree in every row or column. The letters in the 1st column are the Major Keys, and the letters in the 6th column are the Minor Keys. The last Row represents the Chord Type for each degree of the scale to get a "family of chords" for the Key or scale: M = Major, m = minor, and dim = diminished. Roman Numerals: Uppercase = Major chords, Lowercase = minor or diminshed chords. Let's arrange the table in a user friendly manner. 1 3 5 7 9/2 11/4 13/6 15/8 3/10 F A C E G Bb D F A C E G B D F A C E G B D F# A C E G B D F# A C# E G B D F# A C# E G# B D F# A C# E G# B D# F# A C# E G# B D# F# A# C# E G# B D# Gb Bb Db F Ab Cb Eb Gb Bb Db F Ab C Eb Gb Bb Db F Ab C Eb G Bb Db F Ab C Eb G Bb D F Ab C Eb G Bb D F A C Eb G Bb D F A C E G Bb D F A I iii V vii ii IV vi I iii M m M dim m M m M m bIII v bVII ii iv bVI i bIII v
