When you look at a piece of music, do you automatically know what key you are in by the number of sharp or flat notes in the key signature? If you do not know all of the keys by heart, the Circle of Fifths is the fastest way to learn. This bonus video comes from the Easy Guitar and Easy Bass Guitar Theory DVDs by MJS Music & Entertainment. Although it is a bonus feature on these DVDs, the lesson is priceless for students of music wanting to memorize the key signatures. To date, this video by MJS Music is the best representation of the Circle of Fifths ever created. Visit www.mjspublications.com.
