You DON'T KNOW The Circle Of Fifths Unless You Know THIS

[@lelezz3118]

This channel is a goldmine; thank you so much for your videos. Please continue doing what you’re doing. I’m Italian as well, so “continua a fare quello che stai facendo.” Thank you very much; your videos are very informative because I always learn something new. You go into details that are different from all other channels. And it’s the details that are important, especially when you delve into details that no one else discusses. So, thank you very much, and keep doing what you do.

This is a good one. You have the most original takes on music theory out of all the teachers I've heard.

[@philthekiwi5]

Ive seen a lot of videos on the circle of fifths but this is the best. I was saying “oh wow” repeatedly. Thanks!

[@SueAndrews-s2g]

I love your aproach to music.🎶It's passionate, inteligent and enlightened.learning to understand Music is a facinating and remarkable learning experience and takes you on a Journey into the right and left hemespheres 🙏love your videos and will check out your courses.

[@organic527]

This was very helpful, Excellent 🙏🩷

[@vincenzofiorentini8002]

very cool. another useful thing (obvious in the light of your construction) is that you get all ii-V-I's at a glance: just go counterclockwise from a note assumed to be ii and you get ii-V-I.

[@dragasan]

That was a lot of fun - thank you. May you enjoy continued success.

[@dL-lw7pi]

One side is Lydian and the other Locrian, the brightest and darkest modes of the major scale, respectively.

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

That's another way of seeing it, yes.

[@alexanderdebonet5524]

That was AWESOME!!

[@jonnyroxx7172]

Brilliant!

[@gerardlabelle9626]

I’ve been contemplating this very subject for a few weeks now, so I’m excited to see you fill in a few gaps .

8:06 "Of what use is a newborn baby?" A few nights ago, when I was dropping off to sleep, I was thinking about the Circle of Fifths, and how you could consider a "chromatic" one (like above), and a "diatonic" one (where one of the fifths is a diminished 5th). The chromatic cycle of 5ths has 12 "steps", and a perfect 5th is 7 half steps. (12/7)^2 = 2.939 or so. In the diatonic one, there are 7 "steps" and a perfect 5th is 4 "steps". And (7/4)^2 = 3.0625. Both numbers are suspiciously close to 3, which means 12/7 and 7/4 are close to the square root of 3. I'm not sure what that means, but it's interesting that the square root of 3 seems to pop up in the context of the Circle of Fifths.

we had to wait till 2024 to discover this 🧙‍♀ grazie al Professore Zillio 🏆 maybe there is an esoteric book somewhere in the world talking about this 🤔 but i think it could lead to very interesting harmonic creation if digged further on....

[@ikhaatjullieallemaalpersoo5715]

I have a request, i would absolutely love to see video of you jamming/improvising just to see what i can take away from that

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

Old video, but it should do the trick: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2iuipmMnaaqfM0

[@mekayyoutube51]

I tried playing c major, csus 2, c minor cause I wanted to go up using a major second interval using the same root which is c. Then I tried playing cmajor, dmajor/c, to c minor. That sounds pretty cool. I probably thinking wrong but this could be used for constructing chords and their inversions as well as chord progressions. Your videos inspire me to this day definitely screen shooting your circle chart.

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

If you like it, it's not wrong.

[@Guitarin90seconds]

Fantastic discussion! Applies to negative harmony? 🙏🙏🦋

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

Negative harmony is when you replace the left side with the right side and vice versa :-)

[@Guitarin90seconds]

@@MusicTheoryForGuitar sweet! Thanks!

[@gregoryhaddock5395]

Thank you so much for all your insight & pedagogy, Tommaso! 🙏 Months ago, I asked if you'd be willing to explore the question of why bass notes specifically don't tend to need smooth voice leading...is it purely cultural? Are there underlying physics principles that offer explanation? You seemed interested. Is that a topic you'd still be interested in making a video about?

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

Sure, why not :-)

[@christopherheckman7957]

There are specific rules in Counterpoint that limit when you can make a jump of a perfect 4th in the bass.

[@nacuda9]

Pretty cool! Brings to mind.........#9 #9 #9 Beatles lol

[@vishalwadekar7898]

❤❤🎉

[@mekayyoutube51]

Like I just put root, fifth and fourth together with f as the bass and I got a consonant chord. Anyways I’m getting excited over something silly. Thanks tomasso

[@sitearm]

nice!

[@Schizophonix]

The symmetrical and opposite sides of the circle of 5ths remind me of how negative harmony works, do you see the parallel?

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

Yes, absolutely :)

[@thomaswalker8790]

Real fun

[@markberglund2056]

Note: 2 6 3 7 in a yin yang order clockwise and counterclockwise... 😮

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

Amazing, eh? :-)

[@markberglund2056]

Just posted link to my FB wall for my musician friends. Thanks brother, keep it coming 💯 I'm agnostic, but music seems to be proof of a great Creator if there is anything. The root versus the tri tone ... not that the Tri tone is satan.. the tri tone is beautiful, I don't think the Creator discriminates against a flat 5... imo. Peacefully 😊✌️

[@markberglund2056]

It's great you actually replied... take a break man 😉😊✌️
