This is a great example of why knowing about the Circle of 4ths/5ths is beneficial.
If you want a challenge write your own circle of 5ths from scratch.

Here is a written out explanation re. Hey Joe from one of my theory books.

Here is the cover of the theory book I took the page from.

And finally, here is my version of the Circle that I put together showing all the keys without cramming some of the key segments together, at the bottom, when it comes to the 5,6 and 7 sharps and flats. I am not sure why nobody else seems to have done this before because with 7 sharps and 7 flats plus the key of C, with no sharps or flats, I always felt the circle should have 15 individual segments.

Cool they addressed Hey Joe in that book.

You are the first person I’ve seen comment on using the All About Music Theory book that Josh recommends. You also mentioned having multiple theory books.

If you have time comment about them over here…
