i hada teahc once that told me that u have ur hand right? thumb is no.1 pinky no.5 and u play 1 4 5 so if ur key is in C ur thumb is C so then u go up C D E F G so you play the chords C F G together and then the chord after that which would be sixth would be minor chord which would be Am and he told me it just keeps going like that. i didnt get to finish the lessons and i was wondering if u ever heard of anything like that?
walt, how would you suggest i really start learning about guitar and music. Im using wiliam leavitt book right now, but how can i learn to make music fast.
that´s a GREAT book. i use it. but i recommend, before you get into it, that you know the guitar fretboard. and by knowing it i mean, being able to recognize, on the stop, every single note there is on it. which up to the 12th fret -because after that, they all repeat- are 72 notes (12 frets x 6 strings). master the fretboard BEFORE you attempt to read music. The next step would be to get familiar with the notes on the staff, and then how to find them on your guitar.
If you find it hard to understand the circle of fifths, just learn your scales in solfge (Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do) it will make things a lot more easier.
I really liked your channel and this video. If you need any help getting this video exposed I use a site called tubeviews.(net) It has really helped like 20 of my main videos get to the top in position. Its nice.
YEAH!!! I UNDERSTAND NOW!!!! ITS BASICALLY LIKE IN ENGLISH WHERE WORDS MAKE UP SENTENCES THE CIRCLE OF FIFTHS IS THE LANGUAGE FOR HOW TO WRITE MUSIC OR HOW TO PLAY ONE CHORD IN RELATION TO ANOTHER CHORD IN A SONG!! AM I RIGHT?? hopefully i get the gist of this ive been trying to figure this theory or "rule" for the longest time
HEY WALT , YOU CHANGED YOUR WEBSITE AND I CAN'T FIND THE LIVE CHAT ROOM PLACE :( i wish i could participate again ! let me know where to find it please!
You didn't really explain why the circle of fifths is important other than it is a rule. What rules does it dictate? Like moving around in key. How moving from one scale to the next works and why. Maybe a followup?
He did... watch it again. The circle of fifths is used to determine what key you are either playing in or trying to form a song around. It's the bomb, if you learn it off hand you should be able to jam with just about anyone, no matter what they are playing or even what instrument they are using.
If I said play in the key of A major - the ciorcle of fifths shows that A has 3 sharps. Those are the three sharpened notes in the piece. If you didn't know that then you would be playing outof key :)
I see many lessons that explain HOW something works, but people never explain WHY it's important and you need to learn about it. :)
For me personally, I'll be a lot more motivated to learn something if I know what use I will have of it, rather than just learning something that seems really pointless.
thats what my guitar teacher said lol
cycle of fifths is a language
if you want to speak its slang
you have to learn its language first.

Hmmm... the Rule of the Circle of Fifths... good way to put it. It actually does make sense to me. Thank you Walt!
