Oh one more bit of trivia the cycle of 5ths I was told was invented as a way of signalling what key the next song is on stage the number of sharps signifying the key across the stage so if someone is holding up 2 fingers you know it's the key of D. (I hope that's correct!) instead of having to say huh?

................So now you know the chords of a 1 IV V usually you are going to play 4 measures on the 1 then change to the IV then depending on the song you will either go up to the five and play 4 measures or you might return to the I for 4 before going to the five.
