Ok let me make sure I understand this. Here is the circle of fifths. clockwise by 5ths. CDEFG GABCD DEFGA etc.... So in the key of Gmaj the notes are G, A, B, C, D, E, F#? So a 5th up from F# is C#? FGABC So Dmajor has 2 sharps, F# and C#? And its notes are D, E, F#, G, A, B, C#? Exactly well done -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

Great that you have it clear now. Many people get confused about this but it's actually very simple. Now you can use any method you like but it's good that you know it either way.

Sorry for stepping backwards, but I didnt fully get the reason, why is there no G# Major? When Ab is viable and G sharp is the same? It should be equivalent?
Btw. I am now hardly working on the circle of 5ths concept:P -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus

I am now hardly working on the circle of 5ths concept:P Hi You can only have maximum of 7 sharps or 7 flats in the key signature (accidentals written at the begining of the notation). That's why G# major as the key itself doesn't exist in theory. We use Ab major instead. How would you possibly write G# major? It would sound something like G#, A#, C, C#, D#, F, G. This is wrong because when writting sharps you have to start with F# first. In this scale there is no F# note so it can't be possible to make the key signature for the G# major. Also it's wrong to write the scale which has two same letters in it - like this wrong example above it has C and C#. Hope this helps This post has been edited by Emir Hot: Oct 30 2008, 07:12 PM -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

2 Emir: Thanks for enlightening:)
Although I am not used on standart notation (but study of it is on my recent to-do list) I can understand the C/C# part. I will take it as a rule now:) Only think I'd like to ask You is - what do you mean, by "We always have to start with F#" -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus

Only think I'd like to ask You is - what do you mean, by "We always have to start with F#" When you writting sharps at the begining of notation (the key signature not the sharps in the melody) you always start from F#. Each other key signature is followed by that F#. It has to be the fisrt every time. See the picture below I hope you will understand. This is the only proper order of writting accidentals, reading from left to right. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

As an add-on to Emirs picture above, here is an helpful training tool:
