In this episode we discuss the remaining sharp keys in the Circle of Fifths as well as moving into the flat keys. The order of flats is BEADGCF or simply the order of sharps backwards. And always remember your order of sharps: Fat-Cats-Go-Down-Alleys-Eating-Birds. We also introduce the idea of using a capo to help guitarists transpose our songs to some of the less common keys.
