because of this amazing dude i finally know the path to learn any song just by binge watching all his videos, all i have to do now is practice

[andybyrne]

Don't get caught up on videos with most views, this is a proper tutorial!

[AcidDragonGraugh]

I honestly think that this level of communication is a talent.
Circle Of Fifths is challenging and I suffer from ADHD, but your explanation, clarity and demonstration made me keep eyes on the video the whole time. Obviously it's hard to learn in one go, so expect me returning over and over until it is solid in my head. In the name of all students, thank you for your efforts man, you're AMAZING!

[DanielTartarottiSobrosa]

Man, I've watched a lot of theory videos and no one could explain so much concepts using only the circle of 5ths like you do. It's certainly the best theory video. Thanks.

[nicolasmecaj]

So the circle of fifths in just the major and minor scale in a circle, with all diatonic chords if wanted. Thats wonderful visualization

[jaymney_]

No other video, guide, or teacher was able to explain how amazing the circle of fifths actually is better than you just did in the past 15 minutes. I had no idea there was this much information packed into such a simple diagram! Definitely gonna be binge watching your videos now, they’re so helpful!

[lindasmith]

65 years old and have played piano forever….i never understood this before. Very valuable lesson!

[sonja]

I've had music lessons in school for many years and we spoke about the circle of fifths a lot. I never understood it properly. Now I watched a 15 minutes video and it all makes sense.

[jasonesty]

I have never seen the Circle of 5ths so expertly explained! Fantastic job!!!!

[matteogiberti]

Simply the BEST explanation of that circle I ever heard! I knew of it but never known what was the purpose. Only remember it was quickly mentioned by some guitar teacher years ago...
As always THANK YOU!

[TannaDaHamma]

Up until this video I had a very loose understanding of the Circle of Fifths, I knew it could be used as a quick reference for chords in a key and the like but everywhere else Ive seen it explain just didn't quite click. But the way you put made a light bulb go off in my head and suddenly I got it. I love the way you format these lessons.

[donk.]

Your presentation is fantastic. Explanation is clear and to the point. Well organized. I hope most musicians (or aspiring like me) see this. You have talent for organizing and you're a great instructor. Thank you, DK.

[devinreed]

Absolutely amazing content in this video!!! I can say that after watching hours of COF videos on YouTube, I have never understood the circle of fifths better than I do now. Explained so much about it that I had never heard before, in such a simple, digestible way.

I just discovered your channel a couple days ago, and I gotta say I really am enjoying learning so easily from your channel, keep this up!👍🏻🔥🎸🎶

[kbhwyqf]

As a biginner guitar player, I've watched at least a dozen Circle of Fifths videos. This one is by far the best one and covers things that NONE of the others did!! Thank you!

[tastelessjack]

Was scrolling thru youtube, next thing I know im on the toilet with a notebook taking notes 📝

[troyd]

Hands down the best explanation of the Circle of Fifths I've seen to date!!!
Very, very good work!!!

[zanakil]

the algo have blessed us with this outstanding video. Great pedagogy here. Keep up the good work and thanks for your efforts.

[georgeaslanidis]

Wonderfully explained video and the visuals really execute this so well. This is the first time looking at the circle of 5ths in 10 years so thank you for posting this.

[AndrewSacoman]

Again you just explained this in a clearer and more digestible way than I’ve ever seen before. Most people stop on how the tool works and fail to show how you actually use it. A+
