ok, im a tad bit hesitant to put this up.. not sure why, im normally not shy with my digital art...
this is the cover im going to put on my harp book.. a book i hold my tab in, and some other harp notes.. im not done with it, i have to add OB's and Od's to the layout, and i want to redo my circle of fifths... but anyway, i was wondering if you that know the scales i desided to put on, would check them for me.. i have checked, but those that know stuff like this, know that the authors/designers are their own worst checkers...

thanks

I dig it, and would buy a poster sized version for my woodshed's walls. Though, personally, I would love it if the harp diagram used scale degrees rather than being a C harp with note names.

thanks guys!

i see your point baldyak.. the only problem i saw with that, was that the scale degree of each hole changed with position. i made it more so i could visualize where the same notes were on the harp.. that is why it is color coordinated.. the color to me is more important then the note names themselves..

Nice work!

This may help you checking the scales: Ps-chart

The color-coded layout chart is VERY cool!

That's awesome. I have the Wikipedia Circle of Fifths as my computer wall paper. It's got the key signatures on it too, but you have so much more information on it. I don't know what your computer skills are, but if you used this as the base for a page that could change the keys, maybe play the pitches when you push on different parts of the circle of fifths- or just on paper as posters. Really, really cool...

or dare I say it... an app.

Yeah, that's the sort of thing I'm thinking- Only Goodwood's would look way cooler!

mr so and so, that is a cool circle.. i found this one somewhere on the net.. it isnt interactive, but i like the layout/ design and all the information:

There are some great ones around the web... They can be so beautiful.
















It is becoming painfully clear that I need to learn how to resize hot-linked images.

Gwood- I was hoping someone who knew more about HTML would take the hint and suggest some code. :) I'll fix it as soon as I figure it out.

OK, I figured it out, although you have to figure out the exact pixel size to avoid skewing.

"
Now if I could just figure out how to post the code so I can post the code so other people can fix it too!
