Circle Of 5th (Fifth)

The Purpose

The Purpose of the Circle of 5th (fifth) is more form 

1. Finding a Key has how many sharps or Knowing the key based on the number of #s and bs

    - Keyboardists must know

    - Guitarists follow chords pattern or fingering might not too interested to know

2. Finding out what are the 6 chords in a Key family. A Chord Progression Road Map

    - When we talked about Chord Progression, we are talking about what are the 6 chords in a particular key family.

The Count

1. Clockwise Counting to find the next Key (Chord)

    - Count 5 (Diatonic scale count, Inclusive of the 1st and 5th chords)

    - Diatonic count is 7 notes. W-W-H-W-W-W-H Intervals

    - Count 8 (Chromatic scale count (12 Half Steps), Inclusive of the 1st and 5th chords)

    - Chromatic count is 8 notes (inclusive) or 7 Half Steps

    - Counting Clockwise is to emphasize the # (sharps)

2. Anticlockwise Counting to find the next Key (Chord)

    - Count 4 (Diatonic scale count, Inclusive of the 1st and 4th chords)

    - Diatonic count is 7 notes. W-W-H-W-W-W-H Intervals

    - Count 6 (Chromatic scale count (12 Half Steps), Inclusive of the 1st and 5th chords)

    - Chromatic count is 6 notes (inclusive) or 5 Half Steps

    - Counting Anticlockwise is to emphasize the b (flats)

No such thing as Cbm because Cb is B, B no no sharp

No such thing as Fbm becayse Fb is E, E no sharp

That's why on the circle of 4th, left side (anti-clockwise), it is Cm (even with 3 flats) and Fm (even with 4 flats)

Good for Beginners started out learning Keyboard (KB) or Piano

Major Chords

F (4) to G (5) or G (5) to F (4) is a major move, because it involve all the 3 notes movement.

C (1) to F (4), 2 fingers movement to the right

C (1) to G (5), 2 fingers movement to the left

Plays 7-1-5 or 5-1-7 on any Chords

Why only 7-1-5 works, because playing 2-3-4 will determine the real chords

- The sus2 and sus4 (2 and 4 notes)

- The major and the minor (3 or b3 notes)

- The 3rd note is always very important note for a chord

- Why it works it's because it create a suspended sound without the 3rd notes on the right and left hands.

the 7-1-5 running notes (repeated pattern on right hand) always works on every chords and any chords, it's because it create a suspended sound without the 3rd notes on the right and the left hands (plays only the root notes of any chords).

By not having the 3rd note, it is also not identifying the major 3rd or minor 3rd. That's why it always works.
