IssanKing Production Good luck with learning guitars my friends from one guitar player to another!

Gotta admit, the acting deserve an Oscar.

The instructional song at the end made me cry. There was an innocence to it that was indescribable. It's like a welcome to a life of music.

4:58 My friend, you are a gem! I can't believe how many years I've looked at this circle and not clocked that (accidental pun) - the number of sharps and position on the circle corresponds to the numbers on a clockface. Penny drop moment! Thank you :)

If you told me you time-travelled to 1983 and ripped this from a middle school’s VHF player - I’d believe you.

I learned more about the circle of fifths from this video than I have in all my years of music. Very simply put, understandable, and to the point. Great job.!

Started piano lessons over 70 years ago. Thanks to the videos Mark I am finally seeing more light at the end of the tunnel.

This was unbelievably helpful, I'm taking a music composition class at university and basically have to cram study music theory. Your explanation was the most clear and concise I've seen regarding theory

This clock analogy is genius. I've been looking for this my entire life - to link math and music in a simple way.

This is an incredibly well done instruction. It takes a little work to make sense of it all but is soooo worth the time to learn. Thank you for taking the time to create this video!!!!

An easy intro to the circle of fifths. This video was super interesting, well thought out and superbly produced. I learned a lot in 20 minutes. Thank you for taking the time to teach us.

25 years of playing music and the circle of 5ths was always a magical unicorn that I could never quite grasp fully until now. Why has no one ever explained it like this before! Thank you

Wow, wow, wow! That is hands down, for me, the best explanation of the circle of fifths and its application that I've come across. I'be watched a few video s and read up on this before, but nothing clicked for me like the way you put it all across. Thanks for taking the time.

I knew all these things of the circle of fifths, but gradually the memory fades since I haven't done music for a long while. So whenever I saw that there is a video about the circle of fifths I checked it out, but never found one that really went through it all in a good and concise way, until now. This video does it, very nicely. Thanks!

Wow I must say, you are a really good teacher. I've been looking for ways to understand this concept and I literally understood this within 5 minutes of watching your video. Props to you sir! Keep up the great work!

You're not alone, introducing some clever Pythagoreian concept that was not intended to interpret music followed by an counter-intuitive arrangement of notes on, of all things, a circle isn't doing it for me either; I just use the Circle of fifths in EZkeys (and my ears) and theory be damned. My general observation is that nearly all music theory education and for instance explaining sound synthesis is the domain of atrociously poor 'teachers' who simply assume too much and r-e-a-l-l-y explain too little. Even though the core of musical theory some have called "laughably simple" most instructors cannot resist the temptation to obfuscate and be cripplingly pedantic about it.

Mark, you added a clearer and insightful idea about Circle of Fifth. Plus, showing and demonstrating and composing and sing an application of how to move from one key to another. Keep up! God bless.

Best instruction I've seen so far about the circle of fifths! Great! Thanks!!

This was THE MOST helpful explanation of the circle 5ths I have watched!

Thank you for making this Mark, this is a fantastic presentation. I've glimpsed at videos on this before and none have been straightforward or engaging enough for me to bother with. It's an excellent introduction and really inspires me to learn more about music theory!

OMG Thank you! I truly understood Circle of Fifths by heart now, thanks to this video. Best wishes x

7 years, 7, I spent studying music. This was never explained to me in such a clarifying way. Congratulations and thank you for this video.

Music is the most wonderful mixture of science and art. On the one hand it is SO mathematical, what with the division of the timing into a rhythm and how the powers of 2 become so important when studying the frequencies of the notes in different octaves etc.. on the other hand it is definitely an art form, as if the all those mathematical rules are just waiting for an artist to come along and mold them into a thing of beauty. Glad you enjoyed the video.

The best explanation and illustration of the Circle of Fifths on KZread. Many thanks indeed.

Apart from that strange error near the beginning that several people have commented on (which will only be noticed by those with perfect pitch or access to a pitch reference such as a tuning fork or musical instrument), this is a beautifully made video that explains the circle of fifths really clearly. As a music educator myself, I would recommend this video to my students.

You're absolutely brilliant, man! So much empathy for people who don't understand. Amazing.

Absolutely outstanding. Also there is the relationship of the three minors (inner circle) to their direct counterpart Majors in the outer circle, when considering chords most readily available in a given key. So looking at C we have F and G closest and instead of traveling clockwise to find D, A and E (which of course are capital letters on the outer ring), we look inside at the relative minors - and voila, we find d minor, a minor and e minor adjacent to the aforementioned three chords F,C and G. This "introspective" method of finding the available 6 chords in any key does however leave out the ever elusive diminished chord in the 7th position. Thank you sir, for this informative and clear look at the single most important "key" to unlocking musical relations of keys and chords. Well done.

I have something to share..i'm a total simpleton and have spent the last 24 hours browsing videos on this topic and they are useless..at least to me..this is the video you need to watch...trust me..dont waste your time with others...this really clicked with me,,if you don't get it at first..re-watch a few times..this takes time to sink in
