Circle Of Fifths - Part 2

[bytedildo]

Circle of 5ths is used for constructiong only major scales right ?

@bytedildo Kinda... it's not going to tell you nothing about Melodic Minor, or harmonic minors, or anything else infact where the steps don't follow the Major 2212221 pattern. But you can still get your Ionian, dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, aeolian and locrian scales from it just as they are all based off the Major scale. But if you know about them anyway you probably won't need the Circle of Fifths anyway.

You probably already know this by now as your comment was 1 week ago

You got it wrong at 5:37. Using a Cm as the "2" in the 2-5-1, you are in the key of Bflat. So,

2 = Cm

5 = F maj

1 = Bflat maj

@soontobe14 Yes, you're right I should have gone the other way! Good find. Thanks.

In a tritone where would or could you go after C to F# , what would make sense from there ?

I guess could just walk around the Circle ?, : C F# , G Dflat , D Aflat E Bflat, sounds kinda cool...

Any idea why they call in tritone? I can see that it's three full steps is that probably why ?

Anyway it's pretty cool to mess around with either chords or just individual notes using it.

@riverstrat

Every note only has 1 tritone. There is no succession of tritones.

[riverstrat]

Totally lost me exactly when you start deciding which notes are sharp or flat by looking at the circle.

I know C has no sharps, I know G has 1 sharp (because it is #1 on the circle) and of course that sharp note is F# ,or 2 full steps 1 half step 3 more full steps 1 half step.

It sounds like you are saying the circle shows you which notes are sharp or flat for a given key, if so could you be clear on that detail.

Thanks

Actually there is. Fb is the same note as E. There are many funny enharmonic equivalents out there. B# is C, Cb is B, E# is F. And if you add double-sharps and double-flats then there are tons. It might seem redundant, but then again we already have sharps and flat versions of all accidentals (e.g. F# = Gb, G# = Ab)

theRe is no such thing as f flat

U da man, man.

Best circle of fifths tutorial I've seen, and finally understood it. Thank you!

[ej1mshan]

Thanks, I learned a lot

you lost me around 4:00

[AKASLOVERBOY]

hey i cant get it properly

why the g has to be 7 ?

G7? Or GM ?

[FloduQ]

@AKASLOVERBOY

My guess:

C harmonic minor scale

C D Eb F G Ab B C

Chords

C-Eb-G = Cmin

D-F-Ab = Ddim

G-B-D-F = G7

Not the best example for this lesson :) Would need another video to explain this

[AKASLOVERBOY]

@FloduQ thanx dude it helps

[downhill240]

I've learned something new and I've gotten a little more confused but this was great! Thanks for sharing.

[frwyguy]

You left out the key of C# major! UGGG

[timciesonite]

@frwyguy
