The Harmony Wheel is a great device! I have an old one like that I acquired in school somewhere, but that thing is totally useful, and I recommend it for anyone who does have one.

Just a note for those of you who are seeking new vistas, a device like this can be used to propel you into your future. If you are serious about becoming a great improviser, you must "hear" your ideas over the changes, otherwise you are simply regurgitating someone else's ideas that you found will get you through a specific set of changes. If you don't fully comprehend the changes, that is like walking a tightrope!

You should be ear-training more than anything so that you truly "hear" whatever chord you find yourself soloing over. A device like the Harmony Wheel saves you precious time in figuring out what will definitely work over a set of changes. Once you know what you can play over a specific chord, as you play that scale or arpeggio against that chord, you can get the colors of whatever that scale or arpeggio provided into your ears. That's really what it's all about.

Chris - It's the journey, not the destination!

Hello-all, several weeks ago I bought a thing called the harmony wheel and last night I finnaly tryed it and surprise it works. I got it at www.ducksdeluxe.com/harwheel.html . it is a color coded thing with two wheels which by turning the inner wheel you can find all the major and minor keys, the degrees, modes, etc etc. it really works and is easier to use than pulling out books or if you are like me many notes written on slips of paper .. it really makes it easy to move from one key to the next and see the degrees so the cords makes sense as I go up and down the fretboard.. just thought it might be a good thing to share.... Michael

Go To The Harmony Wheel Home Page

AND NOW !! ... A FEW WORDS FROM BOB ... THE INVENTOR HIMSELF !!

"Hi friends. My name is Bob Creveling and I'd just like to say that the Wheel pretty much created itself.

I developed it while teaching music and it grew out of my trying to explain the circle of 5th's to my beginning students, day after day, student after student as simply as possible.

After all, when younger, I was terrified of music theory myself. It was during this time that I realized that music theory could be set up in such a way as to simplify a great many things ...

Why stop at the circle of 5th's when you can fill in all the notes, thus showing their relationship to each other, and with the "modes" wheel one can see how the major, minor and Greek modes all inter-act as well as how basic triads are formed, which leads to the Nashville number system and provides a great insight into song construction.

I knew I had a great idea when I could honestly say to myself, without any qualification whatsoever 'Gosh, I wish I had one of these things when I was a kid, it'd have sure made a lot of things, so much easier!'"
