![]() It is interesting to note that the dominant V7 chords can be “stacked” one after the other, forming a sequence of resolutions based on fifths. Okay, but this is not the only use for the circle of fifths. See a table with the accidents for each major scale below: This is especially useful for keyboard players, as each major scale on the keyboard has a different shape, and the amount of accidents will define how many black keys the scale will have. Moral of the story: On every fifth, there is one more accident on the next scale. The D note is a fifth above G, and the scale of D major has two accidents, the (the F# and C# notes).The G note is a fifth above C, and the scale of G major has one accident, the F# note.The C major scale has no accidents (no scale notes have sharps or flats).Some students learn the circle of fifths to analyze flat and sharp accidents in major scales. Great, but what’s the use for that? How to use Circle of Fifths Notice how B is a fifth above E, that is a fifth above A, and so on. The circle of fifths is nothing more than a sequence of notes separated by intervals of perfect fifths.įor example, the sequence: C – G – D – A – E – B is formed by perfect fifth intervals, therefore it is part of a circle of fifths.
