What’s up my piano friends!! Today’s video we’re going to cover how to use the circle of fifths explained, simplified, and made so easy a kindergartener could learn it.
It’s a a phenomenal tool, but most people get SUPER confused by it because people don’t really teach it right - but it’s actually really easy once you break it down.
Oh… and you can use it to write your own song on piano in literally less than 2 minutes (I’m not joking) using simple Chord Families and Power Notes.
But you’ll see what I mean in the video...
Here’s what we’ll cover:
00:00 Intro
00:27 Section 1: Uhhh, what exactly is the Circle of 5ths??
00:56 Section 2: Simple Trick to Memorize the Circle of 5ths FAST
01:49 Section 3: Quickly Finding “Chord Families” to Create Beautiful Harmonies
05:45 Section 4: Using “Power Notes” to Write Hit Songs Fast
07:09 Section 5: Creating Your Own Song in Under 2 Minutes
Btw… since this is one of the MOST confusing things on piano, i went ahead and watched EVERY single TH-cam video out there to make sure my lesson wasn’t missing anything.
So it’s kinda the one-stop-shop to get this under your belt. Chord progressions, melody notes, everything you need to write songs. Using the circle of 5ths on piano can be a real gamechanger.
Make sure you stick around to the end - the number of uses for this ONE chart is absolutely insane. In fact, I’d recommend printing out the cheat sheet and keeping it by your piano.
Oh, and btw if you’re a complete beginner, no worries, the tutorial is specifically designed for beginners, and we take absolute baby steps to make sure you’ll get it frustration-free. Don’t forget to download the Cheat Sheet to make it even easier:

Hey Zach, great lesson, really enjoyed that. Having signed up to ultimate-guitar, I notice the chords for "All of me" are different to the ones you went through. Would you mind publishing your version of the whole song on here?
I didn't really get it could you make another video that I could understand better please.
Hello there. Thank you for this immensely helpful video. However, I am trying to download the cheat sheet but it keeps reading 'access denied'. I am wondering if this may be as a result of my location as I am writing you from Nigeria. Please kindly suggest to me how I may go about getting this file.
Thank you.
Best regards.

May your pillow be cold at night sir 😭
For the first time in my life the circle of fifths actually makes sense. Thank you so much for these awesome lessons

The rest of youtubers can now delete their Circle of Fifths videos because none of them worked for me, only this one really explained it and I've got music already in my head. Thanks a punch for your time, efforts and this amazing way to simplify what I thought complicated while it's not.
Same!!
I bet he’s welcoming you with a kick 😂. Sorry couldn’t resist.
Learning piano for almost a year now. Went through all the pain of learning scales so I can improvise melody with the chords. This Power Notes just blew my mind and made everything easier 100 times
Bro, you just made my day and gave me back my drive to continue learning piano.
It would be too long to write you how much this video meant to me since I have major depression problem because my father passed away few months ago, and playing piano helps me fighting my depression. Thanks m8 and keep it up!
Thanks! I am re-learning piano...no one ever told me about the circle of 5ths and I had years of piano study!! Thank you. I am sooo excited to have a method to memorize.
I always play random chords and hoping😂 ,i never thought i could understand circle of fifths ,but thanks to you,you helped me a lot!

Wow! The lightbulb is finally coming on for me. Love that you don’t just talk about the circle but how to apply it!

I watched a video on the circle of 5ths. I got frustrated and confused. I then clicked on this video and understood it perfectly without any difficulty. Great video!
Amazing, thanks Zach! I just watched and re-watched! This video is absolutely filled to the brim with very useful tips. Not just for writing melodies and finding variations, but also to overall enjoy playing the keys more!
So glad you liked it Mark!! And glad you're putting into practice 💪
All these years I have subscribed books to learn about music and how to play it - in the end, it was boring for me as well as too difficult to pursue. Finally I discovered today something totally interesting in this life: The Circle of Fifths! Your tutorial in TH-cam, so well delivered crossed my impatient, never beautiful mind with unresolved state of depression or maybe just plain dumb. I'm indeed thankful to Him there's you.
thanks for your tutorials dude i had a hard time grasping music theory but your vids have helped me to create music that was beyond my reach.
Thanks Zach! First time it’s starting to make sense to me! You are so creative! 👏👏👌😁
Awesome Jilly. Glad you are finding the videos helpful! 🎹
This is so easy to digest. I love the visuals and easy tricks to implement those. It helps me learn much faster. Clear hands on the piano with lit up areas. Amazing work, thank you for taking the time to explain and create
I never watched your lesson, it's first time and found it's the best of it's class amongst the bundles available in youtube nowadays. Would expect a lot such effective lessons in future. Wish you best of luck.
Nice job at simplifying it! I really like the visual aids and colorization you used to break up what you were teaching. Great job!
This video is a pure weapon itself, a weapon to absolutely crush the piano with. I'm very thankful for all of this!
Awesome. Glad you liked the video! 🎹
Man you almost brought me to tears how easy you made this lolol.. This is BY FAR the best circle of fifths video I've watch. Thank you.
Very good lessons the Circle of 5ths are very helpful in understanding how chords interrelate to each other.
Hands down, THE BEST explanation of the circle of 5ths I’ve ever seen! Thank you!
Thank you Zac. God bless you wherever you are. You are doing a great job.

You can tell this video was made with quality, thank you for making this journey of mine a whole lot easier.

This was a super lesson, Zach. So much to learn!
Boom! I watched like 10 videos on the circle of 5ths and was still confused and 5 mins into this I totally get it now. Thank you.
As a bass player, referencing the learning of music theory off of piano makes it a whole lot easier IMO.
Wow. Your a great teacher. You make things easier to understand- most teachers just want to show off how good they are.
Thank you for such a wonderful lesson, Zach! You are the best!
Dude...bro..... bruh.... This was the most straight to the point and informative and automatically useful tutorial ive ever seen on this subject. will be passing along to my kids. absolutely gold
Glorious! This is the first time it actually made sense, thank you! And thanks for the cheat sheets as well 🙏
Wow! It's just now that i got this stuff real clear😊.Thanks Zach!
This was great! Another door opened during the infancy of my piano journey!
So glad you enjoyed it :)
Its so simple how you explained it and this is what ive been looking for for years now :'))) youre the best man
I've learned everything about music theory from TH-cam and this is one of the best videos on the circle of fifths I have ever come across
Took me like a month to find an actual simple explanation of this, not sure why every other youtube creator has such a hard time explaining this to beginners. It's not even close to as complicated as i thought it was. Fucking nice.
Wow...I play guitar but this is amazing. I knew of circle of 5ths but never so detailed and interesting and how to completely interpret it.👍
WOW!...Zach, I was beginning to think I had a learning deficiency. You are an Amazing teacher!...thank you so much.
Another powerful piece of information for my learning.
Thank you man!!!!
Thank you, so well explained 😊🙏🏽
Thank you man🙏🏻 finally found the video that simplified the concept
I have been lost trying to understand the circle of faith. Thank you, boss, your teaching is top-tier
Awesome tutorial on the circle of fifth. Charlie not only gets drunk and finds beads But also learned how to play hormony and melody with help of sister and cousin chords from this Zac Uncle. Double cheers to you.
The absolute best explanation of the circle of fifth. Thanks.
I finally got it. This video is truly special. I finally learned to play something. Thanks !
Awesome, great to hear norman!
By far the best explanation of circle of fifths I have seen. You really are a SuperTeacher.
Thanks a ton Ravi, these take a TON of time to make so always glad to know they're appreciated
this was so helpful! I've never understood the circle of 5th before!
So glad you liked it Christine!
You are such as genius!!! I have been searching this lesson for years
I like how he makes use of the circle, which really is only an arraignment of order of key signatures according to the number of sharps or flats, and shows the similarities and the coincidence of chord families in a harmonized scale.
Amazing clarity. Cheers!
This guy is good you made me realize my music teacher sucked 😂
For the first time, I can depend on this particular lesson for better understanding.
Thank you 😊
Awesome. Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹
This may have been the most informative 9 minutes of my life,. Definitely the best video I've seen on how to quickly improvise and have fun making your own music, big thanks.
Thank you so much, finally I understand the circle of fifth. As a beginner self taught person, I get more motivated when I watch your videos.
Glad it helped!
Great lesson Zak. Thank you. Great way of explaining
Glad to see Zach make this essence of music theory in this easy way. Great Job ~~!
glad you enjoyed it Ed!
Absolute best teaching on the usefulness of the Circle of Fifths!
Wow! You can teach young man. Thank you so much. Never understood how to actually use the circle of 5ths.
That was so great explanation, I've just started learning piano, not copying so called video tutorials, so yeah, this is amazing, thank you !
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video! 🎹
Bro this is amazing! But what about minor scales and is there any similar type of teachings for 7th and 9th chords for major and minor? I started making Lofi hip hop music and 7th and 9th scales and making the melodies sound jazzy seems to be the way to go.
Excellent! Thank you!!
Wow! This is awesome!
Now the circle of 5ths seems so enjoyable!!! Thankyou!
So glad you liked it Shirley!!
Thank you soooooo much!!!!! This is what I've been looking for!!!!! 🔥💖🔥💖🔥💖
This is amazing, thanks, I now know which chords can be mixed, this will surely help, I think like a kid. 😊
Great to hear, glad you enjoyed it :)
