Ive seen the circle of 4ths/5ths
ive seen different lists in books and online
ive heard different ways to learn and memorize

is there a better/best way to learn? or is it preference?
the one jazz book I was using has it starting at C than the order of flats from least to most picking up at the sharps most to least....

is there a diffference in which way you memorize them?

and it seems like this is pretty much the place to start as you really need to know the scales to really move onto everything else? I mean even without having the guitar neck in front of you....yes?

Im trying to learn theory....
and everytime I read and get stuck on the forums it comes dwon to not having all the above stuff under my belt solid.

thanks all
