Playing with the ChordMap (circle of fifths)
Ойын-сауық
The circle of fifths is not abstract or confusing. It's tangible and easy to use. Let's play with the ChordMap to navigate through harmonic space.

Songwriting is fun when you can actually see what you're doing. I use the familiar patterns of color to explain music theory so you can write songs.

It should be made an app, a web and mobile app
After watching one of your other videos on this I actually went and made one myself out of cardstock, a paper rivot, and a cd case.
Just an FYI: Modes have been around since the 1600 With Gregorian Chants, where they introduced the flat to resolve interval clashes in the perfect V
You are the greatest! I bought the chord map and already it's enhancing my song writing! Thank you thank you

Thank you Mike! Brilliant teaching / learning!
Thank you Mike, you are the best! Where can I buy the circle of fifth like yours?
I am an intermediate keyboardist! On the SP APP, but I am lost when it comes to music theory! I am retired and everywhere I look it involves more money, so I am looking for some free insights on music theory, circle of fifths, arpeggios ,chord progressions etc. thank Fran leavens
I think these are the best examples about the circle of 5ths for me. It really helps where its so visual and with actual examples.
Circle of fifths with guitar chords youl make a million!
Merci beaucoup from la Suisse.
hi Mike, I dig your mind bro.... great channel, sure would love to have me one of those gizmos. ( circle template )
I've been playing guitar since 1978 and you are the first person to have made me understand this topic. Thank you!
I think, once the modes are explained using the relative chart, it’s important to go to the parallel to really get the “sound” of each mode. For me, at least, when everyone explains the modes and says “ok, now D Dorian is the same notes from the C major scale but starts & ends on D”, etc - all I hear is the Cmajor scale over and over again, just starting on the different degrees. My brain does not “hear” the mode. When you go to parallel, since they all now start on C, you can hear the uniqueness of each mode. It took me forever to get this because everyone that ever tried to explain the modes to me only demonstrated relative. Took forever to recognize the sounds of other modes. Like the Phrygian sound of the “space intro” of “Fly like an Eagle” by Steve Miller. Or the mixolydian scale that Brian May runs in the guitar solo of “Bohemian Rhapsody” etc.
This is the best explanation I’ve seen/heard… Can I ask where I can buy that rotating chart please as I want one. I’ve written lyrics to a song now want to write the music score to it. Thanks Mike. 😊
Great video and definitely excellent insight on the BEATLES songs. Knowing the songs from way, way back... only now do I more fully appreciate the GENIUS of Lennon and McCartney. Thank you for your expertise and for creating ChordMap. Certainly a super helpful tool. Could you please do a study on the structure of Paul’s song “Here, There and Everywhere.” Looking forward to it. 😊
Man this channel is the best. I never liked music class because it always felt like the teachers were scared to make it harder. That just made it uninteresting this is way more cool than 'what does the sound make you feel ?'.
Thank you Mike👍🏽👍🏼🎯. Great job for a 1st time live stream! I find in the comments a question I have ...where can I get your Circle of 5ths chord teaching wheel/aid? One reply was "you sell it", but no URL link. Your Circle of 5ths wheel is the most clearly laid out & complete aid (includes the "diminished ° notesl) that I've come across on the web. Thank you in advance foe a URL. 👍🏽👍🏼👏🏼 lessons!!
Sold out as of right now. I'm looking forward to get my own wheel :) !

I'm so glad Street Shaman Productions told us 'hello' for the whole video
Mountain, WV.....checking in.
I love the video and especial the breakdown of the Beatles songs. Curious how much of the mode changes were suggestions of their producer George Martin who was a classically trained pianist and composer.
You might be a genius. I’ve been waiting to learn this kind of a thing for so long
Just bought a wheel. Thanks!
Hi Mike Fantastic video. Could you do a song breakdown of a Vince Clarke song from the Depeche Mode or Yazoo era. As I love the counter melodies he uses. And would love an explanation of the theory behind these.
Thank you for this video! I've learned so much already and I've just begun! I purchased a ChordMap so that I can follow along better.

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I've needed. This presentation is so clear explaining how to use the circle of fifths and will play a huge role in my composition skills on guitar. I'll be buying one of your ChordMap wheels as soon as they're available again (soon please), as it is a truly unique version. Well done! The Beatles were and are amazing songwriters and seeing what they were doing and how they were doing it is just beautiful as well. I'd love to see you break down some of Stings songs using the wheel in the same way, as he's another really interesting and unique songwriter.

The Maps will be back in stock hopefully early July. Mike is super picky about the exactness of manufacturing (so the friction is right, etc), so assuming that goes well - early July

Where can I get one of those wheels you are using, please? It's the best looking one I've seen, and even though I could write the entire circle from memory it would make things so much easier! Thank you!
Hi, I'd like to know how the roman numerals that are OUTSIDE of the various modes are meant to be used.
I include the Badfinger albums in the Beatles catalog. Also, some of the greatest music is jazz, especially Klaus Doldinger's Passport. And then there is Frank Zappa. That is why I own over 1,200 cd's and 700+ vinyl lps. I myself have 7 cd's, 3 of which are available on KZread at my channel, but only musical geniuses can listen to my dynamic albums. There are 3 off my cd's under the label of group "Big Blue Mountain ", 1 Studio Tapes 2 Yowser.... 3 Tuck it Away Again, if your a music sissy, listen to my music at your own risk. Great video.
Why not do a video on making the wheel ?
I'm 64, and the greatest Beatles album is Magical Mystery Tour, then Abby Road, then Beatles for Sale/ Revolver. Actually, all Beatles albums are great, so, buy them ALL! That is the easiest way. I believe that all groups wrote one album, but the songs wouldn't fit on one album (vinyl lp's held 40 to 45 minutes.
Wow man, what a unique invention you have created. Stoked that you can help so many people with it. Fkn genius for sure.. I’ll be buying one absolutely 30 years playing and absolutely clueless until the last few months and now seeing your channel and this 5th’s wheel-I’m certainly going to tell every musician I know about it. All the best Mike 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey how do I get that wheel
I hope you don't mind, I made a little review of this and demo of how it works. Quick and easy.
Another one of your wonderfully explained videos (but how do you get rid of that annoying STREET SHAMAN logo?!?)
Where can I find that chord wheel like yours??
One major question I got for you, I was mapping some stuff out myself and found that the dark spaces between the modes, although they don't resolve to the octave of the root note, they are still useful in the sense that the spaces between the notes are pentatonic scales that are made entirely of inharmonic equivalents. And even though you go in fifths to go from lightest to darkest being from lydian to locrian, on the five Pentatonic spaces, the mood is in tonal order apparently. But in the opposite direction. What can you say about that and pentatonic modes and the five dark spaces on the outermost ring? Did I just prompt you to make another product for Pentatonics?

A Project for You: "Translate" some Beatles' scores to Color-Music "notation" -- 😊🤙🏄☘ ..only moderately kidding! I NEED your Wheel-o'-Demystification for my composition, and for deciphering the "state of mind" of composers of pieces that I love. What I need IN ADDITION is the wheel "expanded" so that it ALSO includes the "Circle of 3rds", AND the "heat map" of the Three-Sides (Stability-Change-Tension) of the Circle-o'-3rds. ..perhaps one or more (independent? transparent?) layers showing those "additional" things? No pressure,.. well, maybe a little. Having a "Master Cypher" that does EVERYTHING would e NICE,.. but may be quite difficult? THANKS so much, indeed, for pulling this all together.!!! 😊🤙🏄☘

Does Indian or Japanese music also adhere to this same circle of fifths?
I would buy the colour map wheel as its a great tool but £38 with an additional £30 shipping to the UK?? Thats just impossible to justify.

What you said in the beginning was quite stupid. Anyone learning music theory would gain a lot from have the circle of fourth and fifths. AND PAUL McArtney KNOWS HIS MUSIC. Furthermore a few of them jf not all had music lessons in the instruments they were learning
Yikes.. irony for sure that book is for a band that allegedly didn't read music!!
