Circle of Fifths - Key Signature Video Lesson by MJS Music, guitar, bass, piano and more...

When you look at a piece of music, do you automatically know what key you are in by the number of sharp or flat notes in the key signature? If you do not know all of the keys by heart, the Circle of Fifths is the fastest way to learn. This bonus video comes from the Easy Guitar and Easy Bass Guitar Theory DVDs by MJS Music & Entertainment. Although it is a bonus feature on these DVDs, the lesson is priceless for students of music wanting to memorize the key signatures. To date, this video by MJS Music is the best representation of the Circle of Fifths ever created. Visit www.mjspublications.com.

@tomtebass The Circle of Fifths is a tool for sight reading music. It makes memorizing the key signatures easier.

@msternal oh okay, do you have any tip on how to found out which key a song is in ?

[msternal]

@tomtebass @tomtebass Grab Easy Bass Guitar Theory DVD (also for guitar). It will teach you to play scales, harmony and chords in every key.

For those who are interested in learning the science behind the Circle of 5ths, visit the virtuosoism website. There are multiple essays which show the mathematical development of the circle of 5ths and show how it progresses as a waveform.

@tomtebass in case you haven't figured it out, the number of sharp notes or flat notes would tell you what key the song is in (exp: o flats and o sharps is Key of C)
