Nop, Am is the relative minor of C major so it hasn't any sharps or flats
Here I leave you the link to the Wikipedia entry about the circle of fifths. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_fifths That would be really helpful to memorize and understand how the alterations takes place into any key.

Just wanted to add that the 7th degree (or chord) is really a half diminished chord. If you are talking about 3 note chords, then it is called a diminished triad (Root, min3rd, dim5th) but with the 4 note chords it's only a half diminished: Root, min3rd, dim5th, min7th A diminished 4 note chord would have a diminished 7th instead of a minor 7th. I believe that diminished only is pretty fine name for diminished triad. However there is a big difference between diminished and half diminished when we talk about 7th chords. I'm saying this because there is no half diminished triad so unless you really forgot to add "7th" there's no chance for confuse, and from what I see here Becks was talking about triads only. -------------------- Youtube

pretty much everything.... i stil am not 100% sure on how to figure out the chords in the minor keys. well i know how to get them but i dont know where to put sharps. And the triad thing they were talking about i dont even know what a triad is. Triad is the chord that has 3 notes, when you take 1st, 3rd and 5th note from the scale. If you take 1st, 3rd and 5th note from major scale you will get a major chord where the 1st note is the root. If you take the same formula from a Dorian scale you will get a minor chord, etc... Now if you add 7th on top of 1st, 3rd and 5th note then you get a seventh chord. In C major case it would be C maj 7 in C major scale. Moving on to the next mode (D Dorian) you will get D min 7. The whole C major scale haromized looks like this: Cmaj7, Dm7, Em7, Fmaj7, G7, Am7, Bm7b5 and Cmaj7 again. Does this sounds more clear?
