Order of the Keys Mapped to the Bass Fretboard

I’m not sure if this will be of used to anyone but here it is. 



We’ve all heard of the circle of fifths and it’s definitely something you should become very familiar with but the bass is a grid, not a circle so it’s hard to map that idea onto the neck.

To that end, here are 4 neck diagrams that do just that. You have:

  • The Sharp Major Keys
  • The Flat Major Keys
  • The Sharp minor Keys
  • The Flat minor Keys.

As I say, not sure these will be too useful or helpful but they’re a handy way to learn the order of the keys if you think in grids rather than circles. Also a very rock'n'roll way to spend a Saturday evening! 😂
