Hard time fitting # chords in anywhere. Help?

When I have a progression with 'normal' chords [but in abnormal fingering] I am finding it hard to like fit in a C#m or F#, etc. Strange question, but where do these fit nicely and is there a theory about their place in progressions?

the C#m chord fits in the key of E. so if you watch for songs in E then you're bound to find C#m there. progression example: E - A - B - C#- A - B - E. or any combination. you can also through F#m and G#m in there too which are a couple more minor chords in the key of E.

F# chord is a main chord in the key of B. (example Lightning Crashes by Live.) chords to play with these are E, C#m, D#m, G#m.

hope this helps a bit.

Back to the original topic...I am a big fan of A# which falls in the key of F and Dm (same thing basically, just in application, you would begin on D and resolve on D). Bouncing from Dm to A# to Dm to C sounds like a nice little pattern that I have toyed with recently. Try it.

peace

I don't like A# (or Bb), cuz i can't for the life of me do a good-sounding Bb. It sounds like crap. I guess I should try a barre at the 6th fret.

thanks guys, it's helpful, I could really use some more lowbrow explanation though if possible! examples are always good for me as I have no tech knowledge [but am willing to learn!!]
