And going counter-clockwise (from C to F to Bb) is like going up 4 notes in the major scale.<\/p>\n<p>Or you can do like most people and look at the circle in a &#8220;hybrid&#8221; type of way&#8230; that is, combining the concepts.<\/p>\n<p>That is to say, <em>&#8220;going clockwise is fifths and going counter clockwise is fourths.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Either way, it all works!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the important part to remember&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Understanding the circle in the counter clockwise direction will be way more beneficial when it comes to understanding how music flows.
