  • Could someone re-explain to me what the pattern is that tells me which notes would be flat/sharp in any given key in the Circle? I understand the pattern describing how many accidentals there would be but not which notes would be flat or sharp.

  • this is the best explanation I have ever seen. Thank You Very Much

  • What kind of sorcery are you talking about?

  • Very helpful, and a good refresher. Thanks

  • he should say that a fifth is an interval of 7 semi tones (half tones)

  • @bladrone You know why? Because you watch this and you don't know what is a scale. You don't know what is a Ton and a HalfTone.People who want to understand this, need to understand what is a scale, and what rules make: Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si-Do; or why C Major is: C(ton)-D(ton)-E(halftone)-F(to­ne)-G(ton)-A(ton)-B(halftone)-­C. After that, the intervals. You commented 8 months ago, sorry for this reply. If someone is confused, need to understand that you cannot skip stages in learning music.

  • @woLead566 The way I understood it, a perfect fifth means that the lower note is spaced two tones, a semitone and another tone from the higher note. If you go down, you need to mirror these steps. For instance the steps between C and G are TTST (scale would be C-D-E-F-G). The steps between C-F would be TSTT (scale C-Bb-A-G-F). T means a full tone step, S means a semitone step. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

  • Nice video how do you count 5ths to the right and you end up with ONLY white keys, but to the left you have black keys in the circle. As a good teacher can you explain how the five keys are counted in both directions AND please give eg of how you arrived @ the first 3 derivatives in either direction (as in going right, C G D A appears to be just counting from C up to the 5th white key disregarding the blacks, correct me if am wrong and please clarify the counting approach). Thanks

    

  • @clubpenguin316 They mean play in the A or E scale

  • Canadian? I keep hearing 'aboot' instead of 'about' haha, great lessons though.
