Ted, go to this site, www.charterpa.net/~rdross/

On the right side about 1/3 of the way down, select CYCLE of FIFTHS.

On the cycle of fifths picture (down a bit on the left of the page)
1-Select the key you wish to play in.
2-Go clockwise as far as you wish.
3-Then play counter-clockwise to the key you have chosen to play in.
I would suggest that you use minor 7th chords like
Gm7---Cm7, and many 7th chords---G7, C7, F7, ect.

I hope this helps. John C.
