Man, you way of explaining the circle of fifths was just brilliant for me. Like you ive seen the circle of fifths explained before and never really got it. But now the light bulb came on. Thanks man.🎸🍻

This is great I've looked at this and scratched my head tried to figure it out. In just a few minutes I understand it now

Well done Den .... I've seen many, many lessons, by many teachers on KZfaq, but you have a brilliant way of explaining minor points in a unique and respectful way. You describe things that many teachers "assume" we already know, and give time for the explanation of every minor detail involved. I've so much respect for you and your teachings .... doing great mister!!!

THIS is the reason Den is one of my Guitar Worthy Sites! He once again finds patterns, shapes, and similarities in music, the guitar, and theory, then highlights them to get you moving in your guitar journey to those AHA moments!

I dont know how but for some reason you break things down so that I immediately understand...it's funny how things just click on like a light bulb when I watch your videos...best teacher on KZfaq as far as I'm concerned....thank you very much for what you do to help others learn.

However many videos I've watched in the past there was always some of it I didn't understand. But THIS makes total sense. Thank you so much.

Wow. Your videos are great! I may actually get good at guitar. Thanks!

Great lesson Den...thanks for making the Circle Of Fifths much easier to understand!

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.

Yessssss Finallyyyy! Thank you!

Awesome. Thank you!

super - summarises it perfectly !

Awesome video, thank you

Cool video .... excellent explanation of the CoF's!!!

Great explanation Den.

Thanks you. explained so beautifully.

It's an easy and good way to explain the circle, u can add on how to use this cicle shapes with impro in major and minor scales

Another brilliant video..cheers Dan

Sir you are a great comunicator

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!!!

Finally ! Finally i get it. Like i struggled to pass trig and algebra all through school, until a grade 12 summer school teacher explained it in a way I understood and I got an A-. And it became fun. Thank you !!!

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. 😅

Great explanation again, love your lessons, you should have crossed out the word chord in your book and written shapes underneath.😀

And all this time I thought I had to learn music theory in order to understand how to write a cord progression. P.s I just bought your book.

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.'
