Transposing chord sequences

Here is our first chord sequence in the key of G:

G is known as the Tonic in this sequence

G......D7......C

G is known as the Tonic in this sequence

Notice that notes D and C are 5 and 7 positions above G.

Suppose we want to transpose these chords to the key of E.

First, locate E in the table - note 8

Now count back from E 5 places - that gives B

Now count back another 2 places - that gives A

So the equivalent chords in the key of E will be

E.....B7.....A

Now do the same for the key of C. (NB - when you get to the top of the table, just continue at the bottom.)

The answer is:

C....G7....F
