This is probably a stupid post but I do it anyway.
I know the basics of the circle of fifths but I could never find a decent picture which shows how the chords of a scale are placed on the circle. So I made a picture myself:
On this picture you can see the chords for C major and A minor. They have both the same chords since A minor is just the aeolian mode of C major.
The chords of C major are:
I = C
ii = Dm
iii = Em
IV = F
V= G
vi = Am
vii°= B°
The chords for A minor are the same but the Roman numbers are different:
i = Am
ii° = B°
III = C
iv = Dm
v = Em
VI = F
VII = G
All major chords are colored blue, the minors are red and the diminished is yellow.
Weird that I could find something like this on internet.
Maybe it helps people to understand the connection between major an minor.
Or if you, for instance, make the same chart for G major/E minor, you could see which chords are in common. with C major/A minor.
