In music, progressions follow a general rule. This makes accompaniment easier than most musicians think. There is a set of rule of thumbs that every musician, including composers follow when accompanying or composing music. So instead of learning the chord progressions of a thousand songs, while not learn the rule used to compose a billion songs? Smart right? ;-)Once this seemingly esoteric knowledge of how chords move and relate is learnt, you can almost intuitively accompany any song. Yeah. You read right. Any Song!!

The image above(you should download the image and print it for assistance) when followed clockwise is called the Circle of Fifths while anticlockwise is the Circle of Fourths but generally, it is termed The Circle of Fifths.
Now lets play a counting game as in the image below
If you keep counting in fourths for C, you would obtain F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb B E A D G and back to C. Now take another key, say F and count in fourths to obtain F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb B E A D G. Count this way on all the keys and observe the magic.
The relationship between these keys are used to pull a plethora of stunts. Typically the “circle of fifths” is used in the analysis of classical music, whereas the “circle of fourths” is used in the analysis of jazz music, but this distinction is not exclusive. For instance, Musicians and Composers use the circle of fifths to understand and describe the musical relationships among some selection of those pitches. Also, with the knowledge of the circle you can easily understand and move/modulate from C major to A minor or say from G major to E minor because of the relative relationship between them. The circles design is helpful in composing and harmonizing melodies, building chords, and modulating to different keys within a composition.
One alluring fact is that PROGRESSIONS BASICALLY MOVE IN FOURTHS (more about the circle of fifths later). Basically, the progression of most if not ‘all’ songs move in steps of four! Abracadrabra? Wait till i show you how.
To illustrate this, lets analyse the progression of “As the deer Panteth by Don Moen”, played in C major

Observe that the song begun on the Tonic centre which is MajorC, then it proceeded to follow the movement of fourths(1-7-3-6-2-5-1-4) as indicated by the circle of fourths until the last two bars where the song had to meet its resolution (5-1).This indicates that the composer referenced the circle of fourth during its composition.
