I'm German and have watched billions of videos about the circle of fifths in german(by the way in Germany we call it "Quintenzirkel"). And I never really understood him. And then you come in another language and suddenly everything makes sense! I'm really happy right now and will probably be busy with sisters and cousins ​​in the near future 😃! Many many heartfelt thanks. And many kind regards from Germany!❤❤❤

This is always the case with Will. And indeed, in Germany we have a lot of strange words for musical things. And we have this thing with B (German) = Bb (everywhere else) and H (German) = B (everywhere else)

Hi Will, What you call Power Notes is also known as the Major Pentatonic Scale. The 1, 2, 3, 5 & 6th notes of any Major scale, makes the Major Pentatonic. The 1, b3, 4, 5, & b7 makes the Minor Pentatonic Scale. Add in the b5 to the Minor Pentatonic Scale above and you have your standard Blues Scale. Try counting that out on all of the White keys and you'll have 3 new sacles to work from. If you know some scales, the formula can be applied to them as well. Guitarists are very well known for using Minor Pentatonic Scales, as they can be used over Major & Minor Chord progressions. Hope that helps a bit and gets some ideas flowing for those who are not Theory heads...LOL... Thx ElectricEddie

​@@Ryan-zv1sd A flat means to drop a note by a half-step or a half-semitone which is the same (It's like Potatoe / Pototoe) it means the same, it's just another name for the same thing, it's from different parts of the world. Ex. C Maj Scale - C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C If you apply the Formula 1, b3, 4, 5, & b7 to the "C" Major Scale You get the C minor Pentatonic Scale (Penta means 5 notes only) C Minor Pentatonic = C, Eb, F, G, Bb, C * If you add the (b5) note to the same scale you get the Blues Scale. Blues Scales Formula = 1, b3, 4, (b5), 5, & b7, 1 = C, Eb, F, (Gb), G, Bb, C If you take the C Major Scale = C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C and apply this Formula 1, 2, b3, 4, 5, 6b, & b7, 1 you get the C Minor Scale. C, D, Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb, C (aka. C Minor Aeolian or Natural Minor Scale.) Again (It's like Potatoe / Pototoe) *** Side Note: A little Trick. The C Minor is the Relative Minor of the E(b) Flat Major. If you know the E(b) Flat Major Scale and start to play it from the "C" Note to the next "C" Note = Then you just played the C Minor Scale (aka. C Minor Aeolian or Natural Minor Scale.) This works for all Major to Minor Scales. If you know the Major Scales then technically you know the Relative Minor Scales as well. There are many Formulas. They all work to give you different Scales ( Pentatonic, Major, Minor, Blues, etc.). *** Memorize the Formulas.*** *** There are also many formulas to get different Chords. Ex. 1st, 3rd, and 5th note of any Major Scale, gives you the Major Chord with the same name from the Scale it was taken from. Ex. C Maj Scale - C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C - 1st, 3rd, 5th note gives you (C, E, G) Played together gives you the C Major Chord. Ex. C Maj Scale - C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C - 1st, b3rd, 5th note gives you (C, Eb, G) Played together gives you the C Minor Chord. Memorize the Formulas to apply to any Scale for different results ( different Scales & different Chords) There are many Formulas for both the Scales & Chords. Learning them all will give you a Great knowledge of theory knowing which scales to play with which Chords. Also What Chords go together to make nice Chord Progressions. Chord Progressions are the basis to any Verse & Chorus making them into Songs. Good Luck ElectricEddie

This may have been the very best explanation of the structure and use of the circle of fifths I've ever seen. Most videos simply describe how the circle is organized, but do not explain the actual value or use of the circle. The very best teachers not only tell you the "what", but also tell you the "why". Well done, Will!

It might be better thought of as a circle of fourths. Here’s why: all root note resolution is strongest when it moves a perfect fourth. C>F. F>Bb. D>G. Eb>Ab. In classical terms, this is a five > one, the cadence you hear at the end of so many of the classic symphonies and concertos. In jazz harmony, if you’re not doing tritone subs and whatnot, the iii>vi>ii>V7>I maj7 has this root motion! In the key of C, that is e-7 > a-7 > d-7 > G7 > Cmaj7. See it? It’s not really a circle of fifths per se. The moment I started to see it as moving in fourths is the moment I grasped the essence of western harmony.

I came here today in search of a reference video for my students of how the circle of fifths works, and how to use it effectively. This video explains that quite well, and makes it easy to understand. However, on behalf of learning by ear which is just as important, unless something is off with my speakers at home, the C major chord sounds like C# on my end, along with the rest sounding a half step higher as well. Made me question my guitar tuning way too many times, but two different tuners have reassured me. And at the time stamp of 4:44, there's the follow up example of how to find the notes that make up major and minor chords. It threw me for a curve on the E flat minor chord diagram, as it shows a connection from e flat, to F#, to b flat, which are in different key signatures. But only because the enharmonic equivalent of G flat is missing from that diagram in comparison to the one on the left that shows F#/G flat. I know there are many on here that are finding a starting point. I only post this to provide clarity where there may have been any confusion. Otherwise, great stuff. Thank you for the video

It’s true, been labouring with this for a few weeks now full focus but had to convert it into my own exercise form. It took a lot out of me mentally at times because it’s like my ear and mind were merging as I persevered. At first didn’t focus on 5th steps just used piano keyboard and forced myself to pick out the 12 keys. Got familiar with each key but it all opened up when they became familiar. 5th steps are easy and turns out the 1st becomes the 4th of the next key. It’s all related. Hearing it becomes second nature.

It’s refreshing to see a non classical person explain music in simple terms and how they make music with that. Granted this is just the bare basic of how to use the circle of fifths there’s a lot more to explore within the circle like modulations and parallel keys and borrowed chords and stuff but EDM is usually not complex enough for that to even matter.

2:09 This also explains why most songs written on piano (/ organ / keyboard / etc) are not in C#, F# or B. Having said this, on a guitar you can tune it in C# - et voila And in the DAW you can drag all notes in C up a semitone - et voila But tradionally it's the most simple to stay in C, / Am, G, / Em, F / Dm, D / Bm and A# / Gm.

I particularly like the melody part - I don't quite understand why those 4 notes work well?? I must experiment with this, thanks for inspiring something to jam with!

Theyre all notes of the C major scale. He left out the B and F to make it the C major pentatonic scale which is used alot in electronic music because it keeps that pumped up feeling like in rock.

I was so excited by this video, so I downloaded the stuff. "Download my FREE Music Starter Pack here (includes Circle of Fifths)", however the circle of fifth is not there... :( Anyway, thanks a lot this explanation, I love this video, I already saw this several time. Very good explanation, and I'd like to join to those, who said, this is the best explanation of circle of fifth. THANK YOU!

We studied minor scales as harmonic and melodic. So their chords were a bit different. I mean not the 3rd, but the 6,7 notes and sometimes the 5th. And the scales arrangements were easy, the one side with sharps and the other side with flats. But this colour wheel / sundial ( lol) is a better pictorial for the brain. Thank you !!

Could be a second part to explain the ommited 7th notes that are half step below the outside notes. The circle is good for parallel keys and modes too!

I completely agree. I’ve been playing guitar for 30 plus years. I know nothing really about theory. I never understood the circle and it was so frustrating and embarrassing. This guy though, this guy made complete sense. Thanks bro!
