26 years of playing guitar, I've written more than 40 songs, and thanks to this video I've written a song where all the chords relate to each other on purpose.
You guys have no idea how many of these kinds of videos I've seen and there's literally NO ONE who made it this clear and concise.
I’ve been playing for 30+ years and this is the first time this had made sense to me. Thank you more than you know.
You are the only person on YouTube that made The Circle of 5ths make sense. Thank You!!!!!!
I’m old I learned by ear and listening to vinyl records. No lessons. We were poor. I just learned stuff but never knew why or how or what it was. Now I want to know what I’ve been doing by ear all these years. This and other YouTube videos like this has been a huge help. Young musicians today, have a huge advantage over old dinosaurs like me. I wish the internet existed when I started. One thing YouTube videos can’t teach you is hard luck, and bad times, struggle and fight. That can only come from life. So I hope the young musicians with these amazing resources, don’t lose that piece of humanity and expression in music along the way. That’s my only fear, is they become academics of music, instead of… Musicians. If that makes sense. Thank you for explaining this. This will certainly speed up the process for me. Instead of hunting and pecking for what sounds right, I can get to it quicker. Saving valuable time.
I have been playing guitar since dinosaurs roamed the earth and that was hands down the best explanation of the circle of fifths that I have ever heard. Well done!
This is true genius. So many people make these concepts sound so complicated, but you have simplified it. Well done!
Thousands of musicians know the theory, but very few seem to be able to communicate it clearly and effectively. Brian does it so well in such a relaxed and clear manner that I'll just go ahead and declare him to be the most talented of guitar theory 'teachers' on Youtube. . . . . . Period.
62 yrs old. Stsrted music theory when I was 18. This is the clearest I've ever had it explained. Like some one said earlier, 'I wish we had the internet back then'.
I'm still watching (4 minutes in), but I'm blown away. The amount of compassion and understanding you have towards self-taught musicians is great. Most other courses are just "oh whatever, read this 500 pages book and you'll know your stuff by the end of it and if not, download my super cryptic cheat sheet".
In 3 minutes the man’s just bypassed an entire semester of music theory. Thank you.
Suddenly someone comes along who explains something perfectly. SIr, I thank you
It’s like finding the code to the secret language of guitar song composition! No one’s ever explained it so simply and efficiently. Thank You!
I’ve been playing for 56 years, only heard about the circle of 5ths a few years ago but thought oh well I’ve got this far without it so why bother now, this has shed a whole new light on my playing and now that I’m just starting to retire I’ve got time to invest in using this knowledge, exciting times ahead. Thanks Brian 😊
Brian you are producing videos at a really rapid clip, without sacrificing quality. I really admire what you’re doing.
I’ve been playing guitar for 45 years and I learned more in this short video than in my whole life! Thank you so much dude! I’m going on a World Wide tour shortly!
10 years of lessons from a Berklee/LA Music Grad and NEVER has this been so clear. Thank you!
I've been casually playing for 20 years. For the last couple of years, I have been pushing myself to master the instrument. I've even been taking theory from a person with a master's in guitar theory. Ever so often I have these light bulb moments and they are very encouraging. I had a few during this this video. I especially liked the part that explained locating the dominant chord. I will definitely be joining a premium membership. Thank you! -Chris
This is literally the best explanation of Circle of Fifths. I've been playing for more than a decade and only understand it after this. THANK YOU!
