What a great video Sean! Thanks for supporting us and making music theory fun!
Thanks to Sean, I bought one of these last night. It will definitely be a great tool in my teaching. Thanks for making a easy to use product.
Just ordered one. Hopefully with the back order youre experiencing it wont take too long🤞
I wish I’d had this years ago. Ordered. And happy to be supporting a small Scottish design company as part of the deal.
So great to hear! Hope you love it!!
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.
the 1959 method holds true!
@@seandaniel23 I think the book was written in 1935 or something like that. The music store I got it from had been around our small town for decades.The book only cost me a dollar & change.
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!
Yes, exactly!! There is nothing worse than staring at a circle of fifths cart with all the extra noise of other keys you don't want to focus on... we thought it was about time it got easier!
Dang this is sold tf out 😂. Good job Daniel 😂
Thanks for the discount code looking forward to plucking away in a more organized fashion.
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... 😁
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!
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!
It finally clicked! Steve Martin with a guitar! It was driving me crazy!
I get that a lot.
Mind blown... ordered and counting the days \m/ !!!
Can't wait for you to try it - let us know what you think of it when it arrives!
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 😊
What a cool tool. Just ordered mine. Thanks for the discount code!
I also ordered. Thanks for the discount.
Happy to help!
Thanks so much for this, what an amazing find!
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME LOOKING PRODUCT! Thank you for promoting this great tool. Will be ordering very soon.
WOOHOO! Can't wait for you to try it!
Just purchased one. Thanks for the video, Sean.
Great! We can't wait for you to try it!
Just placed my order! Thanks Sean!
I just ordered , thank you for the code to decode !
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 👍
We would like to think so!😂
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!
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✌️
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!!
Awesome! The accompanying book really helps solidify your knowledge too - we hope you love it!
Dude, you're a legend! This totally helps.
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!!
Thanks for the demo Sean. The tool looks useful so I have just ordered one.
Let me know what you think!
Thanks Paul, we can't wait for you to try it out!
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.
So cool to hear!
This is great to hear, if you ever take any pictures of it on your music stand, please share them with us, we would love to see it!
Thanks for the video. I ordered mine before the video ended!
Awesome! We can't wait for it to help you!
Just ordered mine with the book. Looks like an excellent tool. Thanks, Sean!
Yay! We can't wait for you to receive it 😊
Thanks Sean. Ordered with your discount code. Seems like this will be a great product to have while practicing guitar.
Awesome to hear, thanks so much for your support!
This is super cool Sean. I just ordered one!
Legends use legendary tools 😎
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
We agree! Music theory is fundamentally fascinating 😊
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 stuff, answers several questions very good for me. You rock!
Happy to help!
@@seandaniel23 I've watched and gained plenty from many of your videos over the years. Keep them coming.
Thanks Sean...picked one up, used your code. -cheers
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 CZcamsr and has videos explaining his Chord map. Thanks for posting.
I'll have to check that out!
@@seandaniel23 you won’t be disappointed.
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.
Happy to help!
Great review Sean! I love this product and just ordered one through your affiliate link.
Thank John, we look forward for you to try it!
The new Foo Fighters album was released the other day. I can't put my guitar down!
I just received one of these yesterday, I like it and glad that I got it.
Sean.. that’s friggin awesome. ty
happy to help!
Ordering this now!
Great! Thanks for the support🤩
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.
Sweet , little tool , , I m half baked so it really helps me learn to learn my basics. Much appreciated .
Very cool tool to have!!
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!
Great tool Sean! I bought 12 pack and put one in a few guitar cases for quick reference when out jamming with friends.
Fantastic idea 👍
Finally early enough to get some of that sweet Sean Daniel attention😅 thanks for all the content over the years!❤️
Thanks so much!!! :)
The circle of fifths, with their relative minors. Pretty important stuff, yeah.
intriguing!!
I just ordered one!
Very helpful. Ordering one now.
have you got it yet ..?
Awesome!
@@seandaniel23 You've shown ways to make the circle of fifths far more useful using this tool, and that's great.
Hey, thanks for this Sean. Newbie guitarist here. Bought one that comes with the book. Art work is really cool too👌
Yay a newbie guitarist! Welcome to the world of music theory 😂
Very cool device.
Watched your video. Immediately purchased. That hasn't happened in a while. Thanks, Sean.
I picked up a TheoWheel a few years ago. It serves its purpose, but this NoisyClan wheel pushes things up a notch.
Thanks!
Glad you think so!
Just bought one using your discount code!
Thanks for supporting the channel.
Great tool for songwriting.
Absolutely, the songwriters within our team use it all the time!
We have now come full circle.
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.
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.
I definitely need one of those.
It's a cool resource.
We think you do too😎
This is an awesome!
Just got one of these now!
Awesome!
@@seandaniel23 aaaand it already arrived within 5 days! Crazy
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!
Great that means they are 10 miles south of me.
@@haggishead7558Yeah but your not the lead singer of Jethro Tull like he is.... 😀
Yeah I need to go visit Scottland now!
@@mobsiesixsixsix9785 Thanks for pointing that out!
Now I will have to nip down the road for a wee jam with Ian and Sean when he in Scotland.
@@haggishead7558 I'm working just outside Edinburgh as we speak (Bonnyrigg) . So make that a party for four. 🙂
Wow,, very cool
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
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
Nice quick ‘cheat sheet’ as long as you already have a grasp on the circle 5ths
Luckily the Decoder also comes with a reading companion that easily explains the circle of fifths that is easily applicable!
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.
An example of Key G with A and Am is “Lying Eyes”
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)
I. Bought one 4 months ago. This video was very helpful as I am a noob player.
There is already a book that has been around forever with the same information..actually more. It's called the Chord Wheel book.
Cheers plums I want one 👍
whose "invention" is this?...so awesome...where can I get one?
?? 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?
Add me to the list of 'happy to support a Scottish company' even though I live in Canada now.
Luckily we ship globally😅
I've heard the non-numbered chords, like C/E in the key of D, described as borrowed chords.
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.
Well, I mean, in german we would not even put this under "music theory", we literally call it "common music knowledge". Apart from that, music theory also looks at other things than pitch, for example rhythm/meter, timbre, form... But hey, if that thing helps people to get into it, why not?
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 you always want to be able to get to the point of not needing it :)
understandable! The accompanying reading companion has proved very popular with a lot of customers😄
Well, I thought about getting this, however, they've run out of stock, due to this video.😅
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.
oh dang!
Hey Sean what is the discount code?
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?
Yes, from my understanding, not really diatonic to the key.
They might call it an out of key chord
Chord substitution or borrowed chord, from another key
The decoder must have been a hit product (I understand why!). It is now unavailable! I hope you will be restocking soon!😊
It is still available on our website👍
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.
I'll let them know!
@@seandaniel23 Thanks for letting them know. I messaged them as well, I wasn't sure if you'd see my message, and they replied to me very quickly. I checked out their site and it does appear they have the currency issue sorted out. Thanks again!
bought it.
Nice! Thanks for showing them some love!
Great to hear, can't wait for you to try it!
Where can I buy 🤔 or order one of those "circle of 5ths decoder wheels ??? Anybody please.
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.
Hey Sean, do you have any experience with chordfiles? How do you like this in comparison if so?!?
I haven't tried. Is it a similar product?
Yeah! The F#/Gb shoutout - now you are ready for the full Secrets of video!
Had mine for ages. comes with a useful book. Really should stop messing around and try to use it :)
It might come in handy🤓
@@thenoisyclan It certainly will :) Thanks to Sean for reminding me how good it actually is!
Sean, have you ever crossed paths with Mr. Beato?
You guys would be fun to watch together....
Bought it :-)
Nice!! You're gonna love it!
Do they make harmonic scales the same way?
How does it work for minor chord progressions?
I'm not seeing anything written in standard music 🎵 notation. When you say "notes," do you mean "pitches?"
Looks like a great tool. Unfortunately the cart payment system seems to be gorfed right now. I’ll keep trying.
