- The Circle of Fifths is a great tool for composing, chord progressions and modulating keys.
There is a newer version of this video, that has been remade to make it easier to follow
• Unlocking Musical Crea...
As I’ve delved into the world of music theory, I’ve discovered the power of this tool to inspire / guide my improvising process. In this video, I share my learning experience and the ideas that have sprung from it, hoping to help others.
Highlight the chords as they are played it would make understanding a lot easier
Thankyou for the feedback, good point!
@@scaledtuna Yes, I was going to suggest the same thing. Otherwise I really like how you're giving a visual/auditory view so I can begin using the circle of fifths in a similar manner for songwriting. Which is why I subscribed.
Hello @robm3569. Thanks for taking the time to comment and subscribing. I am in the process of remaking this video which I am hoping to be able to post up soon as a new video. I have improved the audio, adapted the content and am currently in the process of remaking the visuals with animations.
@@scaledtuna Pro move, you da man :)
@@scaledtuna Awesome 🙏
I agree with most comments. I liked your ideas, and how you showed them. I think the speed was spot on, keeping interest but not too overwhelming. 2 Things: Maybe you could add the chord name & function for better understanding. And you could try to eliminate the high hiss sound on your voice, it’s rather distracting (at least for me). Interested in how you progress! Keep it up :)
I am glad you liked the ideas, apologies about the high frequency noise which I only noticed after publishing, a bit of a learning curve on that one. Adding the chords seems to be a common thread in the comments, useful feedback. Thanks for commenting.
I hope you might like the remake of this video th-cam.com/video/uSAmnyV9s-A/w-d-xo.html - I have made it easier to follow, added more content and improved the audio. Thankyou for the feedback.
I’m getting pretty familiar with theory, but it is still hard to keep up with someone playing or illustrating it in real time. Yes, highlighting the wheel or the chord progression boxes would be helpful, or just slowing down a bit might help, but then we can play the video more slowly in settings. Speaking the chord name as you play would be another way to help us keep up. You’re doing well if you’ve not played very long.
Thankyou for commenting, I will take those comments on board for any subsequent videos. It is hard to find that balance between slowing down and keeping interest. Speaking the chord names is a good idea.

Very confused due to the seed you went through without indicating what you were playing clearly.
Hi thanks for the feed back, just to let you know I addressed this in the newest videos. I may remake this video when I get time.
I hope you might like the remake of this video th-cam.com/video/uSAmnyV9s-A/w-d-xo.html - Where I have tried to indicate what I am playing more clearly and have shown the chords in keyboard form beside the circle to help as well (sorry about the red lines, I do think subliminally they help to show how long a note is pressed but I am looking for a better solution, I may end up writing my own software for it). Info cards have also been added so video can be paused at specific points.. Thanks again for your feed back as its help to improve this.
i think your voice is a bit soft compared to the notes :) but otherwise this demonstration was very clear and helpful! thank you :D
Glad you found it helpful!. I get your point about the levels, thankyou for the feedback it helps improve future videos.
Thanks for the comment about the audio, I made a remake video with this comment in mind th-cam.com/video/uSAmnyV9s-A/w-d-xo.html - thank you for the suggestion
hi, what type of app piano are you using in your video please, best regards
Hi @chequemiel, its called MIDITrail and is available for Windows and MacOS. Thanks for watching.
This is too confusing, are you using inversions for some of these? I'm really putting in the effort to understand this stuff but It's kind of hard when what I am hearing and seeing doesn't match up, like what you were doing with the pivot chords, you said you were playing in one scale but it looked like the same scale or something completely different, My theory is spotty but and this kind of confusion when people explain things is kind of why, I'm not too bright so I need some level of clarity.
Hi @dr.koupop880 this video has been remade to make it easier to follow thanks to the constructive feedback from this video. see link to new video: th-cam.com/video/uSAmnyV9s-A/w-d-xo.html .. I hope you like it and see the improvements. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Enjoyed it and have Subbed. Must be Honest though. You didn't Quite Make the circle look to USER FRIENDLY! I was everywhere trying to follow you. HMMM! 🤔🤔
Thankyou for subbing and taking time to comment, I need honest feedback to make better videos.. I really need to do a "remake" of this video as it was my first tutorial video and have learnt a bit since creating it. Please take a look at my newer videos as a lot of feedback from this has gone into the newer videos. I hope you like them, any feedback is welcome.
I hope you might like the remake of this video th-cam.com/video/uSAmnyV9s-A/w-d-xo.html - thank you for the suggestion to make it more user friendly!
The red lines coming down to the red keys is not helpful.
Hi, I record my piano into logic pro and feed the midi input into a piece of software called MidiTrail to produce the nice looking 3d keyboard which is green screened onto the presentation slides. I quite like it but agree the red lines are a bit annoying something for me to think about , do you have any suggestions? As regards to your other comment about indicating what I am playing, it seems to be a common thread of feedback and something I will add to videos moving forward. Thankyou for taking the time to comment, it will help me to make better videos in the future.
Totally lost on what you're doing. I understand the circle of fifths, but what you're playing and the speed you're talking makes this video useless other than showing the dim 7th's.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to comment, sorry to hear that you didn't get much from the video due to the pace. I have taken many of the comments on board from this video, to help with the newer videos I have just released. More time has been spent visualising and highlighting the chords as I am playing them and making the audio more clear. Speed wise, Its hard to find the balance between keeping interest for some and going to quickly for others. I think moving forward I will try to make the illustrations as clear as I can.. All feedback is very much appreciated as this is a bit of a learning curve for me also :).
@@scaledtuna 👍
I hope you might like the remake of this video th-cam.com/video/uSAmnyV9s-A/w-d-xo.html - thank you for the suggestion of making it easier to follow.
This looks really useful but unfortunately I struggle to see what you did! Unless I change the playback speed to 0.75 and take copious notes. See comment from @petejandrell4512 amongst many others below. What a pity. - repost with an update by any chance?
Thank you for your feedback @geoffwatson, this video is the first attempt before feedback :) . Please take a look at the newer videos I have posted titled (Adding color/colour to music part 1 and 2) where a lot of feedback from this video has gone into creating them, I really hope you like them and see the improvements. I spent a fair amount of time in the newer videos writing software from scratch to display the COF and highlight the chords as I am playing them as there was not a product out there I liked. I am currently writing my next video about passing chords thanks to @jorgeellesmenmusic for the suggestion, where I plan to make further enhancements to visualisations. I do plan to remake this video at some point in the future, there are quite a few changes I want to make and will take some time between the day job. Shame I cant just overwrite this video, I will need to upload a new video so want to get a bit more content in first.. I hope you stay around and see the improvements.
@@scaledtuna Thank you - keep up the good work 👍🎹
