You might be familiar with the Circle of Fifths. It's a helpful tool to create chord progressions that flow nicely and sound logical.
But I found something even cooler than that and called it: the Cycle of Infinity.
With that new circle (or rather cycle), we can play all 24 possible chords before coming back to the first one.
In this lesson, I'm going to show you what the Cycle of Infinity is, how you can use it and what kind of scales or modes to use if you want to create melodies or improvise over it.
It's super fun - I hope you'll play with it too!

This is still the circle of Fifth, but with alternating Major and relative minor chords. Sounds nice.
You hit a vein of musical GOLD with this. It is worth much study.
Awesome, Antoine! This is a mind blowing! Thank you!
We are waiting for more...
Nice version .I have been looking for long time
This video lesson was very nice; indeed, very helpful!!! Thank you very much!!!
You're a genius! I'm going to try this out.
That is so awesome! Definitely going to use this trick in one of my composition at some point.
Awesome 👌
All music can be divided by 3,6,9. Those of us who delve into geometric relative tuning, with a center point of A4: 432 expanded, create all the Platonic solids degrees, and create the most harmonically relative accurate frequencies for any key transition, with the least amount of sacrifices outside of even tuning. I never was a 432 person, but after going into geometry it makes sense. It’s a tertiary inverse grid that flips on a table, like a carpenters square being rotated, and shifted to find the next coordinate. Also our square edges in buildings inherently make 432 sound worse. 90 degree angles and refraction harmonics. Hope that opened up some ideas.
Interesting, do you have any good resources explaining this more in depth and what is sounds like beyond just tuning to A 432 having a lower, darker, warmer, etc quality?
hi, is there any examples with the geometry?
Love this idea!!
It's just the circle of 5ths with relative minors in between each? So moving by 4ths like normal is C F Bb Eb, but now you go to the relative minor for each first so C Am F Dm Bb Gm Eb Cm - it's still basically roots by 4ths.
It might also be interesting backwards: Eb Gm Bb Dm F Am C etc which is just the same as circle of 5ths and then adding maj 7 to each like Eb Ebmaj7 Bb Bbmaj7 F Fmaj7 etc
This is great! I believe it is worth mentioning the "procedure" followed to be able to come up with this idea. As far as I am able to tell, you started descending a major third from Cm and utilized a major chord, and then a minor third from Ab and utilized a minor chord. As far as I can tell, for as long as you keep this pattern of descending by alternate thirds (major and minor) and utilize a major chord whenever you descend a major third, and a minor chord whenever you descend a minor third, the result is what you are kindly presenting to us, a "circle of infinity". It also works the other way around (starting with a minor 3rd and then a major 3rd, and keeping the respective 3rd pattern and the major or minor chord associated with the respective major or minor third) and it goes like this: C Am F Dm Bb Gm Eb Cm Ab Fm Db Bbm Gb Ebm(D#m) B G#m E C#m A F#m D Bm G Em and returning to C (which is really nothing new, it is just inverting or utilizing your idea from a different starting chord).
Thanks Antoine, I feel a triple concept album coming on ;)
An infinite album!
Very cool. Thank you Antoine.
Nice lesson on chord patters a sixth apart! Thank you!
Wow, you watched that fast 😮 thanks for watching!
Wild! What an awesome observation! Great video, my friend!
I imagine you could drop the 2 and make the minor scales hexatonic to reduce confusion with phrygian, too. 😄
Great observation! It would highlight the shift in colors less, but would be less confusing to visualize for improvising. Thanks for sharing that idea!
Mind blown!! Great content sir
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Hey fella really good lesson so much can be done ie chord extensions substitutions what about playing the mode of the diminished scale for inside and outside thanks for a great footstart Dave from the UK
Thank you Antoine - this is truly fantastic. Been fooling around with this for the past hour on my guitar looper and it really stacks up. Music theory is truly mathematical ! Thank you .
So nice that you tried it right away. Thanks, Peter!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Such an incredible insight that creates beautiful music and at the same time challenges and creates understanding and growth
🙏🙏🙏
Brilliant.
I thought the circle of fifths was a collection of whiskey bottles!
thats exactly the circle of fourth but with relative minors lol
Is there a pdf that illustrates this approach?
Could you please do a extension of thought with my previous comment like to see how we could explot this theory David at uk
I love this idea! It sounds great!
This is just the circle of fourths with modifying chords.
Why ‘just”?
Arabic music I believe was based on 6ths old school that is.
