I'm bumping this because I don't want to forget to watch, but don't have time to watch it right now. Later.

It's funny how depending on how you word it you have to go clockwise or counterclockwise around the circle.

If you want to know what harp to grab when the band is in G you go counterclockwise to C, but if you are thinking about it from the other direction, when you have a C harp in your hand and you want to know what key you can play cross harp in you go clockwise to G.

I know it's the same information just phrased differently, but whenever I try to talk about it it comes out wrong. It drives me crazy. I'm a bit dyslexic, and the harps I grab regularly I remember, but on some stretches of the circle I have to stop and think and my dyslexia kills me then. That's why I came up with Baby(b) Elephants(b) And(b) Donkeys(b) Go(b), Baby Elephants And Donkeys Go Circle of Fifths, but that really only helps sort some of the information. I'm right back where I started when it goes from me asking what key the band is in to me tell the band what key they need to be in.

Good video though, although when you switched from talking to playing there was a pretty significant volume shift.

Yeah, when I play, I have to turn the speakers on to play the backing track and it shifts everything. I'll listen to it and see if I can do anything.
