Circle of 5ths Workshop
A Littleton Guitar School Master Class
Course Summary
Master the Circle of Fifths with this comprehensive tutorial, designed to give you a powerful infographic for unlocking music theory.
Through this engaging session, you’ll learn to quickly identify 1, 4, and 5 chords in any key, understand relative major and minor chords, decode key signatures using sharps and flats, and apply these concepts in songwriting and music analysis.
To simplify learning, a complex major scales chart is restructured for easier use, while innovative strategies for memorizing scales—starting with the key of C—are introduced.
Dive into interactive guitar exercises that bring the Circle of Fifths to life. You’ll explore fifths with power chords, the stack method, and learn to construct the Circle starting from C. The session also uncovers the reverse Circle of Fourths, complement intervals, and key signature tricks using creative rake-and-broom metaphors.
Discover how to pinpoint relative minors, grasp chord scales, and use this knowledge to elevate your songwriting. Memorizing the circle’s order becomes second nature, making it a practical tool for chord progressions and practice routines.
The tutorial wraps up with bar chord exercises and an invitation to share your completed Circle of Fifths diagrams for personalized feedback.
