Circle of 5ths – Key Signatures MTT #014

Circle of 5ths – Key Signatures MTT #014

The circle of fifths part 2.  I explain how to use the circle of fifths to determine how many sharps and flats are in each key.  Also known as Key Signatures.  When you look at the circle as a chart on paper, it's amazing to see how well everything fits in together.

    Hey great videos i just found these today and just watched all of them,it  would help alot if you told me why do they do that for example why would you play sharps insted of flats when playing chords. Also i wanna know how to start a song, im a edm producer, ive been producing for over 4 years now and i still struggle starting a song and finding melodies that match the chord, and how can i learn the scales faster and any tips on how to make music that is unique. Also it will help alot if you play the piano when explaining the chords and finding the right ones to match and using the black keys too not just the white ones.

    Thank you!

    All your lessons are extremely helpful and you have a nice follksy styleof communicating. Thank you for that. This lesson on circle of 5ths was great. Question: knowing how many sharps/flats are in each key is great, but, more impotantly, how do you quickly and easily know which each sharp or flat is, for each key?    Thank you Kennis.
