  • It is confusing in the beginning of this video to play all 12 semitones chromatically (C, C#, D, D#, etc) and visually display the notes by 5ths (C,G,D,A, etc). The notes and sounds don't match.

  • Thank you. This was articulated exceptionally well. It was clear and precise and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing:-)

  • @LeonSakau The pattern is WHOLE STEP ( a step =2 notes ...e.g., C to D is a WHOLE step whereas C to C# is a HALF step cuz they are RIGHT next to each other...nothing separates them) SO.... beginning on C the formula/pattern [W=whole H=half] is W, W, H, W, W, W, H = (in the key of C that would be...C2D=W, D2E=W, E2F=H, F2G=W, G2A=W, A2B=W, B2C=H... Follow this pattern, you will know - no matter what key you choose or which Note you start on - what to flat or what to sharp because of the steps!

  • This is great! Thanks!

  • Seth Rogans lost brother?

  • 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)
