Circle of Fifths as Chords: More Disadvantages and Problems

1. No connection between the chords of a major key and the chords of its relative minor. Not only is the bridging diminished chord missing, but the 12 minor chords are visually organized in their own separate circle. Again, if you start a chord progression in any given minor key, you exit the key after two chords and don’t return until you go all the way round the circle.
2. No identification of dominant sevenths or subdominant chords for any given key.
3. No way to identify third and second progressions.
4. No way to identify pivot chords for purposes of modulation.
