❤Hi Micheal

I didn‘t get the link too. Where is the link ?

Just ordered a circle of fifths clock to put up above my keyboard.

Fantastic explanation sir.

It takes too much time, better actively learn a language everyday

Really appreciate your explanation. You are the only person who has given me a true understanding of the circle of 5th's.

GBD FACE, I like it! I like it a lot 👍

I like “Fruit Cake Gets Dumped At Every Birthday “ better.

F is a fourth below C? Nope¬ Man this is shit. This is the worst explanation I have ever heard. Try engaging your brain before you speak!

The beginning can be confusing for 2 reasons: 1) the 5ths are NOT the 5th note above the previous but the 4th above. For example: In CDEFGABC, G is the 4th note above C, but it is the 5th note in the scale. So to be precise the circle of 5ths is called so because of the position in the scale, not the number of notes above the root. 2) when going counterclockwise it is AGAIN the 5th note in the scale, and not the 4th like he says, because when going counterclockwise we then should read the scale backwards too, i.e. from right to left. What the teacher here wants to say is that if you go backwards and pick the 5th note, then this is also the 4th note in the scale forward (clockwise), but an octave higher. The way he says it, it is as if going clockwise the difference(!) is 5 but when you go back the difference(!) is 4. An obvious impossibility. (The exclamation marks refer to the fact that he says it is the 5th above and 4th below instead of their position in the scale, see point 1 above.).....ok, if you weren't confused before, you probably are now! As a bonus: why use different acronyms for 1-6 and 6-11? They are the same letters so the same acronym will do. I came up with: Can God Do An Elevated Back Flip? God Does An Elevated Back Flip!

I struggled with this years ago…one additional tip not often mentioned is that the sharps and flats carry over, meaning G has 1 sharp, F#,..D has two sharps carry the F# (from G) and add C#, ..A has three sharps, carry the F# and C# and add G#….etc etc

Best video on Circle of 5ths out there!👍🏻😉👏

Wow, thanks very much for the clear explanation. This has helped me very much for my violin playing and acoustic guitar.

This method looks very promising, I can’t wait to use it with my German learning. But there is one thing I don’t like very much: the translation. I think when you are at A2 level and above it’s much more useful instead to write down the definition in the targeted language, along with a couple of examples. Chat GPT provides an easy and excellent way of doing so.

Is this what musicians mean when they talk about keeping time?😮

Note, I have to access music theory at light speed for it to be any use to my playing. Maybe if I can just remeber that C goes at 12 o'clock, this will help. Otherwise I will just noodle and ramble on. You will get the drift if I ramble here ... I mean, I don't even know if young musicians today know how to tell time by the big hand and the little hand. Personally, I set my real (digital) time clock ahead 1 hour because it has a digital output making me otherwise think it is earlier than it really is making me late. I also live in a 24 hour world which makes the time 12:30 AM confusing. I think of it as 00:30. I also think time should actually revolve around 7AM instead of midnight because people's lives and the world's activities revolve more so around 7AM than midnight. My gripe doesn't make sense unless you try to run daily process reports only to find programs divide a single work day's activities into 2 different day's and 2 different days activities into a single work day's report. Now, do you get what I mean by rambling?

I didnt get the link. Where is the link?

Brilliant way of explaining it. Thank you so much . I have tried so many times to get it on other videos. I will listen to this over and over again. 😊😊😊 subscribed

3:32 You misspoke - Clockwise C ->G is a fifth C,D,E,F,G (1,2,3,4,5) but counterclockwise C -> F is a fourth C,D,E,F (1,2,3,4) You said "C,B,A,G,F" which is still circle of fifths but decreasing tone. This is all due to 7 semitones is the actual change. 7 - 4 = 5 is not the same as 7 - 5 = 4 but easily confused and related. Hemitonic C,C#,D,D#,E,F,F#,G =7 semitone changes and C,B,B#,A,A#,G,G# ,F also = 7 each utilizing 5 tones. But C,C#,D,D#,E,F and C,B,B#,A,A#,G = 5 semitone changes utilizing only 4 tones.

great help thanks- I never understood it until now

F below C is a fifth, not a fourth. It's inversion (F up from C) is a fourth.

I guess there is no easy way to explain the circle of fifths

Mind blown. Thanks

😉 "Promo SM"

This is the best most comprehensive video I’ve seen on the circle of fifths. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.

Xcellant! 👍🏻😉

Wow

Where did you buy your clock. I can't find one?

As you go around the wheel starting at Am then Em is a 5th above and next Bm is a 5th etc so the whole thing moves in 5ths. Same with the seconds, starting in the key of C at Dm then Am then Em etc. the two chord is a fifth away from the 6th chord and on the guitar neck there are next to each other. It's a pattern you can find and then move around so that if you know your root then you can easily find the others in any key.

Very nice explanation.

Should it not be, "6 through 11 are flats" ...rather than "6 through 10 are flats" ??? since "11" (or F) also has a flat. P.S. I really like your sincere and warm teaching voice

I think this is one of the better rote memorization techniques out there. But it's still not as good as free recall exercises and it's weird to market it as "no memorizing" when the whole thing is a memorization exercise.

Hola. Cual es el programa que estas usando?

Great tutorial, where can your patrons purchase this watch or wall clock, you have displayed in this presentation?

i want this clocks!!!

Thank you. I keep playing this over and over . You do this very well .🎸VERY healthful 🎸😊🎸😊

Can’t thank you enough!!!!. You repeat and repeat🎸. I have been trying to understand this for years. YOU turned on the LIGHTS. 👍🏾🎸👍🏾🎸🕺🏾👍🏾🎸🕺🏾👍🏾🎸🕺🏾

This has consolidated all the previous lessons I have watched r read on the Circle of Fifths. Very well put together thank you 👍🏻

You should be ashamed of yourself, shilling for the murderous CCP for money. All of this footage is CCP approved and probably even CCP choreographed. This is merely pretty propaganda to turn the world's attention away from the crimes against humanity perpetrated by Xi and the CCP. All of these fawning comments are paid shills of the genocidal CCP regime. "Food, not PCR tests. Freedom, not lockdowns. Reforms, not the Cultural Revolution. Elections not leaders," "Dignity, not lies. Citizens, not slaves." Free Hong Kong! Taiwan is a free and independent republic and has never been ruled by the CCP! Free Tibet! Stop the murder of Uighurs for their organs! Remember Tienanmen Square! End the persecution of the followers of Falun Gong! End using ethnic minorities as slave labor!

Ugh... Dude? Those red lights are kind of important.

Great video. I quit watching videos when they bring in the cows. Learning the Circle of Thirds is the quickest way to learning to read music. Ascending and descending. Excellent video. I can't say this enough.

Thanks, I've already looked at this and I politely disagree with you. I don't want to learn mneunomics for certain things. But while I was listening to you, I did find two patterns about sharps and flats. Starting on G the first sharps are just the points on the circle of fifths starting with F. The flats are just the oppositie letter, F has a Bflat and B is in the opposite six 'clock position.

Awesome! Can’t wait to apply it to my learning to sight read!

I like the way you teach. Thanks mate✌️

Nicely explained but I think there's an error in the beginning (3:43) - F is a FIFTH BELOW C and a FORTH ABOVE C if you go counter clockwise. The FIFTHS clockwise and the FORTHS counter clockwise apply to the pitch going UP, and vice versa.

Thank you so much! This is very interesting and you explain it so well. I have learned so much through your excellent tuition. Every good wish from me! 🙂

I really appreciate this tool and your description. I play jazz and this tool will help in that genre. I’m also in the search for colors - where do I find chords and extensions to give a song a color, or mood. This will be a start plugging these into a song and see where the mood goes.

Like many who have commented previously on this lesson, I too have also watched many many other KZbin video lessons on the circle of fifths. But this is truly sensational. However, at the beginning you could be forgiven for thinking that there are large sections of repetition in this video. But please persevere. This man gives so many tips and exposes so much about the circle of fifths that is not contained in many of the flashier looking KZbin lessons. So my advice would be to stick with him and listen at least a couple of times to the lesson. I am sure that like me you will learn an awful lot. Thank you so much Michael, you have saved me so time and heartache trying to figure these things out for myself.

Thanks

Imagine is faith correct?
