Most people think the cycle of fifths is just a tool for organizing sharps, flats, majors, and minors. And while that's true, it's so much more than that.
It's one of the best ear training and practice tools you have. Play through the cycle to the left and you're playing descending fifths, each one pulling toward the next like gravity. Go the other way, and you get that uplifting, ascending quality you hear in a song like Hotel California.
