Comments:

1. This is a great example of chord movement through the circle of 4ths

(or 5ths). In the “C” line, for example, E7 to A7 to D7 to G7 to C follow

each other along the circle, as do the middle 5 chords of each line. Chords

often move in this manner. If you have to guess (by ear) what’s going to

follow a E (especially an E7), it often is an A chord of some type.

2. At the end of each line, the dominant 7

leads to the major chord (the

tonic) of the next key. Dominant 7ths usually lead to their corresponding

majors. (e.g. G7 to C, C7 to F, F7 to Bb, etc.)

3. BARITONE PLAYERS: If you would like to practice this exercise by

reading from the chord diagrams, there is a simple fix, even though the

above diagrams are for soprano tuning:

Cross out the letter of the key (in front of each line) and substitute the

letter from the line above. For example, the F becomes C, the Bb becomes

F, etc. Likewise, cross out the chord names above the diagrams and

substitute the chords from the diagrams directly above. For example, in

the 2

line above, the F becomes C, the A7 becomes E7, the D7 becomes

A7, etc. Maybe you can use white out, and rename the chords.
