    @@LearningGuitarSecrets I agree, I was wondering how this worked. I would imagine the next question would be if I can use more than that one section and say skip from a 'C" to 'E'. etc... Thanks great lesson.

    I've played for years but never understood (never really tried to be honest) the inner workings of it. The past year or so I've been trying to get into a little more of music theory and ideas behind things like the circle of 5ths and this is an explanation that really cleared things up for me. Thanks man.

    Ahhh Thank you very much! I have been aware of the Circle of 5ths however it's was a maze to me. I had the basics but you tied it all together in a way we can understand. I like how you didn't assume that we knew more than we do, and I like how you didn't jump around. And then you played what you just explained!! Thank you once again!!!

    I appreciate your explanation. One suggestion would be to replace your “criss cross” method by simply stressing the order of notes is alphabetical. So you can start on your root note and number each chord/note in the key. Saves the step of drawing the lines. 😅

    Thanks Den. Explaining the circle of fifths using shapes and explaining how it ties together with the Nashville Numbering system, now the eyes are wide open. I have a chart of both and now when I look at them, I'm not going to be confused. I;ve understood the Nashville Numbering system, but the circle of fifths was confusing. PERFECT LESSON. You have a great way of explaining the music without going in depth with a lot of music theory jargon. Your method of teaching is pure, plain, simple and straight to the point. I hope you will do a video/lesson on the diminished note. I know it is not used that often, but having some knowledge of it would be appreciated. Love your video lessons and your books.

    most people have a poor understanding of the circle. this video isn't the best explanation of it. also, people who complain about learning theory are like a football player saying 'coach, why i gotta do these calisthenics? it's not like i'm gonna do them during a game.'

    I am somewhat new to music, yet I believe this gentleman’s explanation of the circle of fifths is the best I have heard because it includes the diminished chord that most explanations I have heard IGNORE. IMHO I am glad I am listening to him and not you.
