Awesome lesson!, in the pass I spent more than $3,000 for a class in college that toooooook 3 months!, here it was 15mins !, awesome 😢!.
Well, C D put that 3K to good use and come over. I have a non-profit practice channel. Just a hobby for me. I'm looking for some players, well, that like to play. I assure you I'm not a spammer, I have nothing to sell. I have no idea what music you even like, but I have to start somewhere, I have to try.
@@practicerepo thanks for the sincere and warmhearted reply!, I just joined channel!, and I will definitely tell all my friends!, good luck and great success!, sincerely Charles D.
Charles, thank you so much. I hope I will inspire some practice time from you. People won't get better if they don't play. It is good to watch and learn when you can, (I do it too) but you have to make time for yourself, to do it for yourself. I hope I can help you in my way - to let you enjoy an easy carefree way to practice the guitar.

Wow! Hey I have a bridge for sale if your interested in it?
This is easily the best explanation of Circle Of Fifths I've seen. Nothing else I've seen comes close. I can use this. Thank you for putting it out. Subscribed.
Agree!
I agree
If you wanna put it to good use, I can help

Amen 🙏🏾
I have been playing guitar for over 30 years and this is a revelation for me. Some people just have the gift, which I have always been pretty jealous of. I have always had to work hard on my playing and understanding of cord structure. Goes to show you are never too old to learn as long as you are willing to discover. Thanks young man for opening an old mans eyes and giving him insight into something he has loved longer than most woman in his life. Except Mom :)
Im in your boat at 67 !

^*chord, not cord🤦♂️
@@humblegeorge how on earth you ppl are commenting without a diaper in your pants .. 🤔🤔
At 72 years old, I wish this approach was taught by guitar instructors when I started at 9. Keep it simple stupid really makes a difference. Thanks so much for your insight!
At 63 I AGREE! At least this Fella helped Us find some more enjoyment in "Our Golden Years"! "Wah Wah Wah"( Bowie!!!) Take Care!
@@wizardoftoys I'm 58 same thing ..lol
@ft of the X
God bless you Mark age doesn't matter as long as we are keen to learn.
How bout Keep It Simple Genius? :)
There is a real art to explaining the Circle of Fifths simply and concisely in thirteen minutes. Bravo sir.
Agree entirely.. Best simple and concise video I've seen on Circle of Fifths...🎵🎵👏👏☘
BTW Liked and subscribed...🤗🤗
finally a video where dim chords are not considered "redundant, not important, nobody uses them" - thumbs up!
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
Learned more in 13 minutes, than in 13 years!! Self taught.... THANK YOU!!!!
Yes simple really when explained properly
Mike, you are true “Guitar God” !!! I am a 58yo struggle to play guitar. I had a great guitar teacher but he had taken ill.
I have been trying navigate my way through all types of media to further in my studies but had been unsuccessful, until I found your video on TH-cam. Bless you sir you may it all become crystal clear. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you 😂😂😂😂😂 You life long fan

The best explanation of the circle of fifths I have ever seen!
We have all reached the next level of musical clarity! This guy is awesome!
How did I ever miss this channel?
I’ve spend a lot of time studying on my own many of these relationships, but you’ve concisely summed up much of what I knew, and even more of what I hadn’t yet put together. Very well done.
Thank you for being so thorough! 💓
Wow! First time the Circle of 5ths made sense to me!! Thanks man, I really needed this…
Fantastic teaching, Mike. Really helpful!
Really appreciate your effort of putting this together - this is really helpful
One of the most comprehensive and simplistic videos I've ever seen. Thank you so much!!
Dude! I am 67 yrs. old and just picked up The Guitar a week ago. I can see many ways this will shorten my study time... bless yoj for putting this up!
Most logical explanation of the circle of fifths I’ve seen. Definitely going to check your other lessons.
Mate you’ve literally just cleared every question I had up about the CO5 👌👌 thank you
Simply put... a superb explanation of the circle of 5ths. great job
I'm glad I waited on the arduous grind of chord learning, I knew it was someone out there that had there stuff together...thanks a bunch! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Thank you for explaining this in a way that makes sense. Ive been trying to grasp this concept for years. Today it clicked and I cant wait to get started. Hope your having a good day brotha!
Mind. Blown! Excellent synopsis!
Astonishing clarity ! Thank you so much for sharing !
When I was 12 my dad gave me one of those chord dictionaries. I saw right off all the repeating shapes. When I learned the shapes then taught myself all of the inversions. I showed my dad my hand done book which was much smaller than that huge dictionary lol
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
The way you broke all the chords down and worked up to the Circle of Fifths was fantastic. Well done 👍 There are a ton of decent guitar players on TH-cam who teach guitar, it's a pity the majority of them can't teach. You're definitely part of the small group who can, Mike. Great content.
Always wanted to learn guitar. Wish I had these lessons back then. So much easier when you explain it.
One of the best lessons I’ve watched. Great graphics too. Thank you!
I've been playing guitar for a long time and never has anyone explained this to me like this before. This is more than fantastic. Don't know why it took me so long to see this!
I've been playing guitar for almost 30 years. This is the most helpful video or tutorial I have seen. I wish I would seen this years ago and saved myself a lot of headaches.
I have learned more about chord structure than anyone has ever explained before. Thank you Mike this is priceless for me.
I think that's just about the best explanation of the subject I've ever heard! Thank you for doing that!
You nailed it dude
This has been the best explanation of chords I've seen yet 👍👍👍
Great explanation and simplification of what can seem overwhelming especially to beginners but even people who've been practicing for years and are just now diving into the theory a bit more.
Thank u for putting this into a better perspective
Thanks for the video. Breaking it all down is a revelation. Makes so much sense.
Amazing work putting this together, Mike! The 'why' is what's been missing all these years and it is so clearly explained here.
Clear concise and to the point! Well done and thanks a lot!
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
I’m just getting started but this was so amazing to me and something I’ve been searching for. I feel like I have a chance at actually doing something, thank you for this video!!
Wonderfully and masterfully explained. Thank you so much!
This is eye-opening. Thank you so much for sharing! What a great job you‘ve done! 💛
I like to share as well, if you like to play come check it out. Thanks Tira
Well Mike you have nailed it Congratulations this is going to help a lot of viewers quickly. Like yourself i have gone down the old chord book/chart route and i learned that way, but this would have saved me lots of hours.
Lot of efforts behind the screen,great work, simple explanation and easy to understand.Thank you so much...
Great job explaining the Circle... makes more sense now... Good job.
Great lesson! There's such a lot of information packed into it, and your graphics are excellent.

This is fantastic and just what I've been looking for!!! Thank you so much for finding the time to put this together. You have just helped me leap frog to the next stage
Merci beaucoup for this. No fluff, just what we need.

So clear and helpful. Thanks!!
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
In a nutshell you nailed it! Been writing for years and never knew that was I doing, so this really helps. Need to see your other videos. Thanks for helping.
I've watched so many videos on the circle of fifths but it FINALLY clicked. I appreciate you for unlocking what it all means on the guitar!
Best and clearest explanation of the circle of fifths I've seen!
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
Wow thanks for these videos. I've never seen anyone explain these in this way.
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
I believe that this the most practical and easy to understand and remember description of the Circle of 5th I've ever heard! Thanks!
Best Explination I have seen. So Simple but effective. You should provide a print out.
Very clear presentation. Nice job!
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
Very well explained. I finally understand the circle of fifths. Thank you
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
Thank you! I was lost on diminished chords. Thank your for the clarity.
I have to say that you nailed it! You have given us a simple system that gets to the point and gives us a better understanding. I really appreciate it! Thanks 👍
One of the best videos on TH-cam. Well done and thank you.
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
I've been taking piano lessons and still found this very interesting. I like the way you've laid out the chords in Major/Minor/Diminished on the circle of fifths.
One thing that I think I'd mention that isn't in this wheel is the harmonic minor. Using harmonic minors allow the dominant 7 chord progression i-iv-i-V7-i, which I think sounds very nice.
Brilliant... utilizing the Circle of 5ths! Thank you so much.
Beyond extraordinary. Thank you so much for your efforts in this! Excellent!
I went to music school and really struggled understanding and learning this. You lay it out so simply in a way that is so applicable! Thank you! Keep it up!
Can I invite you over to practice, Sorry Wesley I don't mean to be intrusive, I'm just a guy here trying to expand his hobby. Not trying to show off, just give people something I wish I had years ago. So I made it. Just like this guy did. Circle of fifths has been around he just put it into a way people can relate to.
Hi Mike, your video is the best video on TH-cam describing chord progression, esp how they work on the Circle of Fifths on the I-IV-V progression. A light bulb went off in my head. Great video. You got yourself a sub.
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
Wow Mike, what a great teacher you are. Your logical easy to follow method, with the on screen charts are the best. So glad I discovered your channel. I will be looking up all your video lessons. Thanks a stack!!
Superb illustrations, explanation (including Circle of 5ths), and flow! Thank you!
Absolutely amazing content! 💥✨🙌🏼
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
Amazing! Have been tinkering on the guitar for 30 years and you condensed the fundamentals in 10 min. AND you provide pdfs! May the rock gods shine down on you!
the pdf is 36 bucks
Pure genius. Never seen anyone provide this extended diagram. Incredible reduction of music chord theory in a precise, understandable, and clear format.
I like the colourful diagram in the video, and very useful for self-learning, Thank you so much… Mike!!
Extremely well put together video. Given its scope, new guitarists are going to have to watch it several times to take it all in. However, It will be well worth it.
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
I’ve been wrecking my brain for over a year now, trying to make sense of a guitar. I went to a guitar school, watched hundreds of videos, downloaded apps and subscribed to two of them, but this video is the best video I’ve seen regarding guitar. Everything makes sense now. Thank you so much.
people often skip out music theory and just learn songs. music theory improves your knowledge from song playing to song writing.
fantastic insight !!! Thank you so much !!
A great revelation, thank you so much!
Great presentation, great visuals! The Circle of Fifths is so powerful. Started brushing upnon6my theory last year and found out how much info can be derived from this. Wish I knew about it 20 years ago. Should be required study for any serious musician. 👍
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
Great video. Easy to follow. Presentation flow's, is concise and perfect length. I'm a follower/supporter.👍
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
Yes he did a great job, maybe you can visit me, I'm looking for some people who are more or less self taught at guitar
Awesome visuals. I knew some day, someone would finally explain chords to me in a way I could understand. YOU Mr. George was that person. Thank you.
Your explanation of the circle and its foundation was enlightening. It makes perfect sense as it lends itself to other theory including modes. Thank you!
Great stuff, mike
I'd love to see another version using the same process on a harmonic minor scale and it's modes/chords!
Me too!!!
the bachian scale!
Man. Thank you so much for this. I’m at the stage you were at and I bought a book of chords and I hate it. I’ve always wanted someone to come alongside me and help me where I’m at. I’m a pretty decent guitar player, at least rhythmically, but I hate studying superfluous crap. This is such a lifesaver. Subscribed and liked, my friend.
It's called lazy, superfluous crap when it's used with knowledge is infinitely better and more complete
@@kippsguitar6539well this is part of music theory so he's moving in the right direction at least.
Can I invite you over, Sorry Der Mensch I don't mean to be intrusive, I'm just a guy here trying to expand his hobby. Not trying to show off, just give people something I wish I had years ago. So I made it. Just like this guy did. Circle of fifths has been around he just put it into a way people can relate to. It sure makes transcribing much easier too. My channel won't be for everyone, but it only takes a minute to check it out. I don't just want to start a channel I want a community.
Amazing lesson.
Thank you
Brilliant! Perfect visuals worth thousands of words!🙏🎵
Wow... I just subscribed to your channel because of one video I watched from you, and since then, all your videos are of super high quality. Great video! It helped me a lot to understand the relationship between chords which are out of the scale. I now can overlap chords! Thank you.
Yes I agree this is first class lesson.
I would like to help you put that knowledge to good use, guitar players wanted.
I need some players to help me build a community. Can or would you like to help. I like helping others. I wish this was done for me - years ago. Anyway, come visit and see what you think. You might like it.
Brilliant outstanding thank you
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
This is gold. Thanks so much.
Hi Mike. I am absolutely thankful for all your excellent work. Your tutorials are incredibly enlightening.
Also, the 7 chord blocks you see on the circle of fifths create a very easy to remember pattern on the guitar if you group the 3 inner major chords together in a 1-4-5 pattern on the fretboard and then the 3 minor chords together in a 1-4-5 pattern 3 frets down. Super easy to remember.
Could you explain this a bit more please? Absolute beginner here just trying to understand what I'm getting myself into and this sounds really interesting! :)
@@simonvegas793yeh me too and I'm not a beginner. If we play C F G as our major what minor shapes exactly do we play 3 frets down? So, C major is related to A minor, but what does 3 frets down mean exactly?
Am dm em? In bed and not guitar in front of me, but curious to know for certain...
Man, I remember when I had the circle of fifths explained to me and it freaking blew the lid wide open on understanding music theory. Unbelievably helpful, if only I could find a great way like this to remember which chords are what degree in any given scale. Is there such a thing?
I'd like to know that as well!!!
What a great lesson. Easily the best and most understandable explanation of the circle of fifths I've ever seen!!! Keep up the great work 🎸
Thank you for this explanation.
Unreal. I'm not even working on guitar, but piano: this video is more helpful than any piano tutorial I've encountered. Massive props and respect. You should be paid VERY WELL for this kind of instruction. Liked/subscribed
If you wanna put it to good use, maybe I can help you practice
As you're a piano man something occurred to me some years ago...my guitar is a piano..kinda.
6 strings all tuned to 5 intervals of a scale. With an E at each side.
Your piano has keys..white for the natural notes, black for the sharps/flats.
My guitar has frets instead.
So you could view each string as a piano keyboard tuned to a specific note or interval. 6 piano keyboards side by side in effect.
More to the point these keyboards side by side in standard tuning with, like a piano, a full chromatic scale beginning on the interval it's tuned to..12 notes..and every note across and along the fret board is in exactly the right place to enable it to be played. Scales..chords..licks etc. And the whole thing begins again on the 12th fret..13th for F and C.
Then consider all the open tunings...and they work as well...
AND you can add a seventh string and it still works.
12 Notes. 4 of them have no semi-tone between them. One note less..or one note more and it would not work at all.
It always amazes me whenever I think about that..the simple fact you can play the thing.
Even more to the point the fret board is a very complex thing..but it's complexity hides it's simplicity.
So learning only these chords to start would apply to piano also?
I know you're not asking me but; Chords are chords, no matter the instrument. The songwriting process for piano or guitar both can benefit from the Circle of fifths. The songs I have on my channel, my wife can play on her keyboard. Plus the cool thing about her keyboard, it has a transpose button - which works like a capo for the guitar. Not so easy for a piano.
Ian, very few of us are able to grasp the full potential of a guitar. The capabilities seem endless. and any effort to fully understand it might be a lifetime project.
Just as I. You seem to have put some effort into a deeper level of understanding of the instrument. That gives me a feeling of kinship with you in your endless endeavor. I wish you good luck, and pleasant journey. I'm 91 years of age, and still trying working on it!
Nice clear explanation and application of the circle of fifths! Thanks for the lessons man!
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
Need a keen review
Congratulations this simply the best musical instruction video I have seen, truly excellent. Thank you so much.
Clear and encouraging explanation. Keep up the great work!
Great video. I would say learn the 6 chords from the circle (miss out dim chord for now) in the 2 or 3 keys you are likely to sing in, also need the 7 and major 7ths. The 7th of chord 5 leads you back to chord 1 and major7th are just so pretty.
Don't be afraid to change key of a song you like to suit your range. Circle makes it easy to do this
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
One great thing about this video is that you make fabulous diagrams!! Thanks for that!!
ps. when you played Pachelbel I noticed that the beginning was "Can't help falling love" hajj Elvis is everywhere xD
𝑯𝒆𝒚 ☝️𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 🎉
What a truly wonderful lesson. I’ll definitely practice.
Wow! This was enlightening, thank you.
