The Circle of Fifths
1. Introduction to the Circle of Fifths
This video is an introduction to the circle of fifths, which is a visual representation of all twelve keys. Here, we'll be discussing a logical approach to learning further keys, now that you have C major/A minor under your belt.
2. The One Octave G Major Scale
In this video we'll be playing the G major scale over one octave. We'll do this initially on one string, from various points on the fingerboard, then across all four strings. In the process, we'll be using the 'content over patterns' idea that we discussed back in the video course for the C major scale.
3. The Two Octave G Major Scale
In this video we'll be expanding on the previous one, and playing the G major scale over two octaves. As you'll see, there are many different ways in which you can do this and as ever, you'll be encouraged to use your knowledge of the notes in the scale to guide you, rather than fretboard patterns.
4. The One Octave E Minor Scale
In this video we will begin looking at the key of E minor, which is the relative minor key of G major. We'll start by playing the scale over one octave, first just on single strings, then across all four strings.
5. The Two Octave E Minor Scale
In this video we will expand on the previous one and play the E minor scale all over the fingerboard in a variety of different ways.
6. Learning More Keys
In the final video of this course, we'll be talking through the circle of fifths in more detail. We'll go through each of the twelve keys in turn, examining the process of moving from one to the next. We'll also discuss key signatures here.
