I Found The Holy Grail of Learning Music Theory 

What a great video Sean! Thanks for supporting us and making music theory fun!

I think the genius in this is what it doesn't show. I've used circle of fifths charts before, but there's so much noise with all the other notes and chords there next to what I want, it's not all that intuitive or helpful. This blocks all that out so I have what's relevant, and only that. Very cool, I'll be ordering one!

I wish I’d had this years ago. Ordered. And happy to be supporting a small Scottish design company as part of the deal.

I got a chuckle out of this. I started learning guitar in 1959 with a copy of the Nick Manoloff Guitar Method Book 1. It came with a cardstock chord wheel, about 10 inches across, similar to the one you demonstrate here. I had never seen another one like it since. I sure wish I still had that book and chord wheel because I could still learn a lot more from it. Also Books 2 & 3 in the series.

Just ordered. I’ve tried other similar items on the past, this is the first one that makes sense of it all, will be a useful tool! Thank you!

Great video Sean!!! I went to order one & it's on backorder. They even have a statement on the website, thanking you for your endorsement... 😁

It finally clicked! Steve Martin with a guitar! It was driving me crazy!

I have been looking for some sort of chart of the circle of fifths to help me with learning theory, this is genius! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for this, what an amazing find!

What a cool tool. Just ordered mine. Thanks for the discount code!

Just placed my order! Thanks Sean!

I just ordered , thank you for the code to decode !

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME LOOKING PRODUCT! Thank you for promoting this great tool. Will be ordering very soon.

I also ordered. Thanks for the discount.

Thanks for the discount code looking forward to plucking away in a more organized fashion.

I just ordered this last night. I’m confident this’ll help me wrap my head around this theory I’ve been procrastinating. Thanks Sean. I love the vids!!

Dude, you're a legend! This totally helps.

Thanks for the demo Sean. The tool looks useful so I have just ordered one.

Just purchased one. Thanks for the video, Sean.

Dang this is sold tf out 😂. Good job Daniel 😂

This is super cool Sean. I just ordered one!

Thanks for the demo and the discount code Sean. I have been taking my first steps into theory and you just made sense of the non sense. The tool is an awesome product. Just ordered mine 😊

Just ordered mine with the book. Looks like an excellent tool. Thanks, Sean!

You know, I know the flat 7 and secondary dominant are concepts my guitar teacher has gone over a couple times, but just seeing this in this format makes more sense. Will definitely recommend this for any new folks I know!

I got one of these a few months ago..if I had a small loss of memory or needed to check something I had a printed diagram..but I now have this little gem to help out✌️

Thanks Sean. Ordered with your discount code. Seems like this will be a great product to have while practicing guitar.

Great stuff, answers several questions very good for me. You rock!

Mind blown... ordered and counting the days \m/ !!!

Thanks Sean...picked one up, used your code. -cheers

I have had one for several months now. It's alway on my music stand when I am playing. I don't know a lot of theory and this helps me know what chords to use.

Possibly the BEST video I have seen - you , sir know how to teach - I've been playing guitar at church reading "chord charts" for over 40 years and the last 10 years I've been YOUTUBING IT but not really understanding it like I want - such a cool tool!!

I just received one of these yesterday, I like it and glad that I got it.

Super clever device, and very well demonstrated. Not that there’s anything inherently wrong with product reviews or demos of drool worthy gear that’s out of the price range of most mere mortals but this thing is actually useful, thanks for sharing 👍

Hey Sean what a great tool. I will order it. The one thing I might add are the actual 3 notes for each chord somewhere rather than the numbers. But awesome invention! Bob

Great review Sean! I love this product and just ordered one through your affiliate link.

Sean.. that’s friggin awesome. ty

Thanks for the video. I ordered mine before the video ended!

Ordering this now!

Great tool Sean! I bought 12 pack and put one in a few guitar cases for quick reference when out jamming with friends.

Very cool tool to have!!

I have been at it for longer than i care to admit, and the more I learn, the more i am fascinated by the beauty of the most fundamental aspects of music, and things in general, its a trip

Sweet , little tool , , I m half baked so it really helps me learn to learn my basics. Much appreciated .

I've been writing this stuff out on my own for a while. I guess I can still do that, but this makes it a lot easier as I'm sitting around and playing.

Thanks Sean, I just ordered one thru your affiliate link. Appreciate the small discount. Never thought diving in Rick Beato’s dumpster would be so worth it! Cheers!

Hey, thanks for this Sean. Newbie guitarist here. Bought one that comes with the book. Art work is really cool too👌

I just ordered one!

Finally early enough to get some of that sweet Sean Daniel attention😅 thanks for all the content over the years!❤️

Looks like a useful product. Another circle of 5ths “decoder” that I have is Mike George’s Chord map. It uses shapes (circles and squares) and 12 colors to show all relationships in music theory. He is also a RU-vidr and has videos explaining his Chord map. Thanks for posting.

If only I had been able to see this video 10 years ago. I bought a Decoder right away. Thanks for the video. Thanks to Noisy Clan for sponsoring.

Very helpful. Ordering one now.

intriguing!!

Watched your video. Immediately purchased. That hasn't happened in a while. Thanks, Sean.

Great content thanks 🙏 you 😊

Very cool device.

This is an awesome!

Just bought one using your discount code!

Great tool for songwriting.

Just got one of these now!

The circle of fifths, with their relative minors. Pretty important stuff, yeah.

The new Foo Fighters album was released the other day. I can't put my guitar down!

Yes! Excellent tool I have one brilliant idea

I definitely need one of those.

Wow,, very cool

Nice quick ‘cheat sheet’ as long as you already have a grasp on the circle 5ths

I picked up a TheoWheel a few years ago. It serves its purpose, but this NoisyClan wheel pushes things up a notch. Thanks!

Very cool! You're one smart guy. I think you should focus on this kind of stuff in your video's. Beginner/ intermediate lessons, as it is easy to get discouraged playing the same stuff over / over again. It may seem boring to you, you're way past this stage, but making an income may work at this level.

Looks a great product. I thought it wouldn’t be worth while ordering because it will be an American product and shipping would be too high. Turns out they’re 75 miles north of me in Edinburgh 😂 I hadn’t heard of them before but will be following them from now on. Some great looking products and can’t wait to see what they come up with in the future. I’m now off to get that order in and thanks for the discount Sean & Noisy Clan!

I. Bought one 4 months ago. This video was very helpful as I am a noob player.

C Major is 2 half-scales: CDEF,GABC. G major is 2 half-scales: GABC,DEF#G. D major is DEF#G,ABC#D. And so on, all around the circle of fifths. Each half-scale is 2 halfsteps, 2 halfsteps, 1 halfstep. Each half-scale is separated by 2 halfsteps, from the previous one: 2-2-1--2--2-2-1= a full scale.

I think that it would sound different if you played the chords in different orders each time, like if you played say A,G,Em,D would sound different if you played Em,A,D,G. Every time you mix it up it would sound different even though it is the same chords I think. It's a pretty cool and handy looking chord/chart wheel in my opinion.

Good vid. I'd suggest trying around with simpler thumbnails with fewer different things in the thumbnail and less text, and putting the one or two things front and centre and visible/distinct, to get more clicks onto videos

We have now come full circle.

Cheers plums I want one 👍

I think I 'sort of' agree with you Sean. I don't 'teach' guitar, but I have 'coached' a few folks from being a player to playing in a band. To your point here, knowing the 1, 6m, 4, 5 in C,A,G,E,D is a must know. What seemed to work best was finding a song, usually 60's or 70's, that used the famous 1, 6m, 4, 5. Playing that enough times so they refer to the chords in numeric and not letters. Then transpose it from C to A, to G and so on. People get confused between the chord and position of the chord in the song because they are the same name. So we would only say the key once, then refer to the chord by number. When they understand that everything else seems to click. Then use the tool for reference? If that makes any sense?? Just some thoughts... 8) --gary PS; I know I left out B and F, that was just to simplify it. 8)

Add me to the list of 'happy to support a Scottish company' even though I live in Canada now.

There’s a young lad in Sheffield, Finale Guitar, who has a created a fantastic mode wheel. Music theory in a disc. You should take a look

bought it.

I've heard the non-numbered chords, like C/E in the key of D, described as borrowed chords.

Had mine for ages. comes with a useful book. Really should stop messing around and try to use it :)

?? So would you use the Circle of Fifths "primarily" for finding chords for song writing, or for finding notes that you could use in a solo for a particular key?

This'd be fantastic,if i could play all those chords.I'm a long time bassist trying to improve my meager guitar skills.But my bass fingers have trouble fitting on the tiny guitar neck and string spacing.

There is already a book that has been around forever with the same information..actually more. It's called the Chord Wheel book.

An example of Key G with A and Am is “Lying Eyes”

whose "invention" is this?...so awesome...where can I get one?

Bought it :-)

Sean, I got all fired up about this. Because of you promoting this great product they are sold out! It's ok. I'll check back later! Thanks for letting us know about it.

Where can I buy 🤔 or order one of those "circle of 5ths decoder wheels ??? Anybody please.

Huh, so basically, any key your in, go back or foward 2 notes in the CoF, like in D, go back 2 and you get C and forward 2 you get E, but something like the key of E you could use a D Major or an F# Major chord?

Can I get a pocket size one of those so I can tape it to the back side of my wrist when asked to sit in on stage with a strange band and a cover I'm not familiar with???🤔🤣

Looks like a great tool. Unfortunately the cart payment system seems to be gorfed right now. I’ll keep trying.

Wonder if Slash and Izzy had one of these when they wrote Civil War?

This item looks really useful. I've struggled with music theory and I see how this could help me a lot. That said, the maker's website is confusing. Before I add the item to my cart it shows $26.99 but when I look in the cart it is showing in GBP. After discount in USD it is $21.59 but it is actually $27.42 after you convert it from GBP. Then there is shipping costs, which I expect to pay. I hope they get their site sorted out so I know what the actual price is.

Hey Sean what is the discount code?

Well, I thought about getting this, however, they've run out of stock, due to this video.😅

Hey Sean, do you have any experience with chordfiles? How do you like this in comparison if so?!?

Pretty cool but I think I’d use it as a crutch instead of just learning it in my head. I do like that it shows “close enough” chords

Yeah! The F#/Gb shoutout - now you are ready for the full Secrets of video!

The circle of fifths is super important for contemporary pop music. It's a very basic and strict set of rules. I learned all of this early on in my career but I realized that this theory system is limited and applies mostly to modern pop music.

How does it work for minor chord progressions?

Sean, have you ever crossed paths with Mr. Beato? You guys would be fun to watch together....
