What Form 8655 Circular 2024

Hey guys, how's it going? I wanted to give you a lesson today on the circle of fifths. The circle of fifths is this amazingly powerful musical tool, but unfortunately, a lot of people don't really understand how to use it. It can be pretty confusing, so I'm gonna show you two things. First, what it is and some really quick ways to remember it. Within a minute or two, you should know it forever. And then, I'm gonna show you what to actually do with it and why it's so useful musically. Let's start by building a circle of fifths. We're going to arrange all 12 notes around this circle, but rather than doing them in order, we're going to separate them by the interval of a fifth. I'll show you that in a second. So, let's start with C up at the top. A lot of musical things kind of center around the note C, so you should be getting pretty used to that by now. And then, after C, we're going to find a note that is separated by a fifth. I'll show you on the little keyboard here. Hopefully, you remember what a fifth is. It's just seven half-steps. So, start on C, and that would be the next note on the wheel. And then, from G, we're going to go over another fifth. There are much better ways of finding a fifth than counting each and every half-step. I did a video a long time ago called, "How Basic Chords Work," then it kind of covers all that. But anyway, the next note is D. That'll be the next note on the wheel. And then, from D, we'd go to A. Then, I'll just kind of fill in the rest here. B goes to F-sharp. You've...
