What a great video Sean! Thanks for supporting us and making music theory fun!

[@matthewzaiasmozaic7727]

Thanks to Sean, I bought one of these last night. It will definitely be a great tool in my teaching. Thanks for making a easy to use product.

[@tonybarber420]

Just ordered one. Hopefully with the back order youre experiencing it wont take too long🤞

[@calebwhitcraft1664]

I think the genius in this is what it doesn't show. I've used circle of fifths charts before, but there's so much noise with all the other notes and chords there next to what I want, it's not all that intuitive or helpful. This blocks all that out so I have what's relevant, and only that. Very cool, I'll be ordering one!

[@thenoisyclan]

Yes, exactly!! There is nothing worse than staring at a circle of fifths cart with all the extra noise of other keys you don't want to focus on... we thought it was about time it got easier!

[@GreenyBlues]

I wish I’d had this years ago. Ordered. And happy to be supporting a small Scottish design company as part of the deal.

[@seandaniel23]

So great to hear! Hope you love it!!

[@LJHowardPhoto]

I got a chuckle out of this. I started learning guitar in 1959 with a copy of the Nick Manoloff Guitar Method Book 1. It came with a cardstock chord wheel, about 10 inches across, similar to the one you demonstrate here. I had never seen another one like it since. I sure wish I still had that book and chord wheel because I could still learn a lot more from it. Also Books 2 & 3 in the series.

[@seandaniel23]

the 1959 method holds true!

[@LJHowardPhoto]

@@seandaniel23 I think the book was written in 1935 or something like that. The music store I got it from had been around our small town for decades.The book only cost me a dollar & change.

Very cool! You're one smart guy. I think you should focus on this kind of stuff in your video's. Beginner/ intermediate lessons, as it is easy to get discouraged playing the same stuff over / over again. It may seem boring to you, you're way past this stage, but making an income may work at this level.

I'll have to check that out!

[@donindri]

@@seandaniel23 you won’t be disappointed.

[@jodyguilbeaux8225]

Nice , but you can find this info on a chord wheel, right ? And learning basic music theory, these things are taught. it always amazed me how good musicians have always, never studied theory. They avoided it like the plague. And i wonder how much better they would have been , by studying theory. Sooner are later, all roads lead back to rome, or MUSIC THEORY, that is if you want to have progress on your instrument.

[@Snarkapotamus]

Completely unnecessary...you carry around everything you need without knowing it. I don't have a YT channel, but probably outta start one because it's stupid simple and once you see it, you'll have it forever.

[@FinnBjerke]

Sean talks about "Rick Beatos trash"? There is no trash from Beato, maybe Sean Daniel should show some respect? I suggest you forget about Sean and all his b.s. about "holy grail" read this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_fifths And use Rick Beatos videos instead.

[@CAGED1702]

Well said! 👍

[@Estrella09091968]

I agree! Rick Beato, with 3.6 millions of subscribers, is wonderful, smart and gentle. Sean, you are intelligent and make great videos. So you doesn't have to call trash what RB does. That's unkind.

[@seandaniel23]

Do you all seriously not understand i said i was digging through his literal trash cans?

[@molotulo8808]

That is a little extreme. I drew my own Co5 on a piece of paper. My chart is awesome. Each cord, i list the notes of the 7 chords. I also list all the notes in each scale. And I have to 7th chord which is diminished. Plus, i have a huge cock.

Good vid. I'd suggest trying around with simpler thumbnails with fewer different things in the thumbnail and less text, and putting the one or two things front and centre and visible/distinct, to get more clicks onto videos

[@bass3966]

Wow,, very cool

[@davidharder7512]

?? So would you use the Circle of Fifths "primarily" for finding chords for song writing, or for finding notes that you could use in a solo for a particular key?

[@jamesrmorris1952]

The holy grail of music theory really is learning all the notes on your guitar so you know then instantly (it's not that hard) then learn Major and minor scales just one position and one Octave is fine at first, learn how chords are made, first major and minor then the extensions (there is a logical pattern) if you learn this you will have a base that makes learning a bit more advanced stuff easier, a lot easier. This video is okay but don't believe these "just learn this shape" videos they won't make a musician out of you.

[@1dantown]

C Major is 2 half-scales: CDEF,GABC. G major is 2 half-scales: GABC,DEF#G. D major is DEF#G,ABC#D. And so on, all around the circle of fifths. Each half-scale is 2 halfsteps, 2 halfsteps, 1 halfstep. Each half-scale is separated by 2 halfsteps, from the previous one: 2-2-1--2--2-2-1= a full scale.

[@gtr1952]

I think I 'sort of' agree with you Sean. I don't 'teach' guitar, but I have 'coached' a few folks from being a player to playing in a band. To your point here, knowing the 1, 6m, 4, 5 in C,A,G,E,D is a must know. What seemed to work best was finding a song, usually 60's or 70's, that used the famous 1, 6m, 4, 5. Playing that enough times so they refer to the chords in numeric and not letters. Then transpose it from C to A, to G and so on. People get confused between the chord and position of the chord in the song because they are the same name. So we would only say the key once, then refer to the chord by number. When they understand that everything else seems to click. Then use the tool for reference? If that makes any sense?? Just some thoughts... 8) --gary PS; I know I left out B and F, that was just to simplify it. 8)
