You might try finding a melodic fragment that starts on the third or the fifth of what you are trying to hear. example: the Star Spangled Banner starts with a major triad descending from the fifth. Play a G and from that pitch sing "oh-oh say", you get G-E-C.You can just memorize what a perfect fift...

Okay, here comes some theory:I've been grappling with the 'how do you use the circle of 5ths?' question and I've taken a couple stabs at it. In trying to provide a comprehensive, consistent answer I keep ending up down a really deep 'prescriptive vs. descriptive' rabbit hole and veering wildly off t...

I dunno. They aren't noisy and have plenty of gain and don't seem to be thrown off by either very low or high impedance sources.I'm not much of a believer in fancy preamps and stuff. If you plug a decent microphone in to it and point it at something that sound good the results will sound good.If you...

eliya wrote:Thanks, projectMalamute. However, what you posted is what I already know about the circle of fifths. It's always touted as one of the most important concepts in music theory, so surely it's more than just a way of knowing how many sharps and flats are in each key, right?It's really not. ...

eliya wrote:Circle of fifths - I understand what it is. Scales that are a fifth apart, so it's easy to travel between them. I was never able to utilize it in music, and every time I read or watch something about the circle of fifths, they just talk about what it is. I'd love to see how it's used.Let...
