So what I made up and what this little video is is a lick that where you can actually play through the C of the cycle
Fifths actually we're going to play it backwards and play the circle of fourths
So that you can memorize them because for me I had the hardest time memorizing
The cycle so basically I took one pattern that you might [G] play if you were just say in the key of [Eb] C
[C]
[B]
[C]
[N] You did that but went backwards around the cycle of fourths you can play the whole thing and it's 12 keys
And it's pretty easy to memorize because that's another thing about the circle of fourths is it moves in that two five one pattern?
Which is very familiar to song so when you when we play [Bb] this it's going to sound really familiar like
[F]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Ab]
[Dbm] [Gb]
[A]
[D]
[G] [C] [N]
