[@zombieguitar]

[@jameslifetimelearner]

Thanks Brian for the complete music organization! Very useful to know directions where you’re coming from and going!

[@gregodonoghue9664]

Hey man is Ireland too far to ship a tshirt?

[@martinlegg5808]

Its phenomenal how one man can teach so much content so elegantly and clearly in one no-nonsense video when there are so many others out there who would take 20 videos to cover this and confuse the hell out of you.

[@droxxolid]

I Couldn't agree more. Brian's approach to most things seems to be cut out all the crap and don't spend the first 15 minutes of a video noodling while trying to impress us all with what a great player he is. A rare and talented tutor.

[@mervingcamille8834]

💯 agreed

[@kennyg-zx4sp]

Way too much talk and not enough action

[@apstevenson13]

Clearest, easiest to understand that I have found anywhere. Everything I was having difficulty grasping for weeks clicked after listening to your explanations. Great job and thank you!

[@alexstankovic2947]

4 years of Berklee in one video. Brian, our man!

[@eross21]

I’ve seen a million circle of fifths videos. but this is the only one that is comprehensive and I understood very easily. you are doing a great service to the next generation of musicians. thank you

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

Amazing.

[@MichaelTrentColvin]

Yeah, he's an outstanding teacher !

[@DaddyBudot]

I'm a 52 yr old man who struggled to learn the guitar since I was 14yo, from that time until now I only manage to learn songs I want to play and some bar chords but don't understand any modes and scales and how to apply them to playing. I have watched other guitar tutorials but it left me more confused than before watching them. your circle of fifths short video ended up in my feed and perfectly explained to me everything in 1 minute. I subbed and binged some of your videos and now I understand the scales and modes and I am starting to learn how to solo. little by little I am improving everyday. Thank you so much for this.

[@musicgeniusful]

This is the most comprehensive and the best explained Circle of Fifths tutorial I've ever come across. No one summarizes it better than Brian Kelly. Highly recommended. Thank you!

[@steveo44]

The best tutorial I've seen on this subject. Zero waffle and to the point. Great teaching! The circle is so incredibly useful

[@MateusMeurer]

The man who taught me how to play by ear, after years of frustration. Bro I'll never forget you, the best teacher on youtube!

[@zombieguitar]

Glad to hear it! I appreciate you following along with my vids 😃

[@minoltarevolt]

That is hands down the easiest and most concise explanation of the circle of fifths i have come across , I can’t believe how (relatively) easy that was to follow, even for a beginner. I’m trying to learn piano and my tutor has tried to explain and implement them but i still had no clue, I instantly saw the connections in. This video……….genius man 👍✌

[@cwaigio]

Best tutorial I've ever seen on circle of fifths.. I come back to this video fairly often just to admire how well put together it is.

[@zombieguitar]

I appreciate that! Thank you very much 😃

[@johncitizen3361]

This is the best explanation of how the circle of fifths can be used for guitar, getting it inked on my arm is tempting but I might try having it printed in front of me for a while before I commit.

[@nwdreamer]

Whoa! I played this video backwards and learned about the Circle of 4ths! 😁😜

[@Zaradikaresells]

I don't play guitar but this video was in my feed. Thank goodness I clicked on it. This is a jaw dropper... I've been searching for an explanation like this all of my life💯 Thank you so much

[@Sispheor]

I feel like being Neo waking up from his chair and then saying "I know kung fun" . Thank you sir.

[@zombieguitar]

Thank you! I really appreciate that. Glad to hear the video was helpful for ya 😀

[@alanjanda696]

If this guy can’t help you, give it up! Been following for over a year and missed this lesson before but holy cow! What a whopper of a lesson! 30 minutes and Brian just gave you a college credit worth of music theory! You the man ! Thanks again as always!

[@ajsctech8249]

Hello from Germany Brian. You are a genius music teacher man, you are opening up the black box of music language and setting free musicians to be song writers all over the world. You seem determined to make music theory possible for everyone. Excellent

[@starros1]

You , to me, outshine the pros, which you are, in explaining the circle of fifths in a most comprehensive, clear, and beneficial manner. I have waited and searched for an explanation such as yours. Thank you so much.

[@zombieguitar]

Thank you! Glad you liked the vid 😀

[@flux789]

Wow man! I've known the circle for a long time, but I never realized how much info it offered. This video was enlightening. Thanks a million!

[@petercontarino646]

The best and most comprehensive explanation of how to use the COF I have ever come across.

[@zombieguitar]

Thank you! I appreciate you checking out the vid 😀

[@starros1]

Brian , so called master instructors can't hold a candle to your presentation. You cleared up several issues for me. Thank you!

[@zombieguitar]

I appreciate you watching Stan! 😀

[@canibaloxide]

Not even 10 min in and I'm having to stop the video and ask why hasn't anyone explained this to me in this manner, great video

[@DryRoastedLemon]

Wow. This was probably the most illuminating video on the circle of fifths I've ever seen. Not just theoretical, but from a creative aspect as well. Super useful!

[@zombieguitar]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching 😁

[@sammarchetti2484]

I appreciate everyone's videos, but you are really giving me the information that ties it all together. The building blocks of music. Thanks.

[@joelmartinez4370]

Mr. Brian, this is super simple to understand explained like this. Like Einstein said, “if you can’t explain it simple you don’t dominate the material”. You are a great teacher at this 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ToddPressleyy]

@zombieguitar I noticed a slightly different pattern emerge for the sharp notes in a key... It seems to be any sharp notes in the diatonic chords plus the first note in clockwise direction in the minors row. Really appreciate your work here, dude. Imo, you're the most relatable and concise theory teacher on youtube. Thanks, man!

[@Toppitmanilikeit]

Absolutely fantastic explanation of the Circle of Fifths. You have done a wonderful job of explaining it to me and so many others. The Circle of Fifths is a revelation to me! It is certainly an invaluable aid to understanding and your presentation of it is First Class. Thank you so much 😊👍

[@zombieguitar]

Thanks for checking out the vid Mike! Glad you liked it 😀

[@studioedin5288]

you are the only one who explaned this so I can understand it, kudos to you Brian!

[@lovernotfighter]

Wow! that's a lot of material to cover. I'm going to watch this class a few times. Thanks for your generosity in making these videos Brian.

[@alsmusiccorner8761]

I've been playing for a while and really never looked at the circle. I visualize it on the fretboard but you showed a lot more things that can be found. Great lesson brother!

[@vylinhnguyen9389]

This is the best explanation of the CoF I have seen on KZbin. Thank you for the clarity and comprehensiveness of this presentation. 🙏

[@zombieguitar]

Thank you 😀

[@Coach_Brian]

Thats it... I'm buying a membership to your lessons! You have such an amazing ability to teach. Taking the time to go over, again and again, the most simple concepts, makes me confident that I'm learning (if that makes sense) Thank you, Brian.

[@zombieguitar]

Thank you Brian, much appreciated! Any questions, feel free to ask 😀

[@Carlos28803]

That is definitely the best explanation I have ever heard about the circle of fiths. Congrats

[@cmozart]

The absolute best description of the circle of 5ths ever!

[@SenateCOD]

Thanks for the upload Brian , I love your theory videos and sometimes knowing theory makes me that much more confident with my playing and it’s a crazy feeling. Keep up the good work

[@mcyoungla]

I have not seen a more comprehensive analysis of the circle of 5ths than this. kudos and thanks from someone trying to teach himself bass guitar!

[@zombieguitar]

Thanks for checking out my vid! Glad you liked it 😀🎸

[@jimaronson2323]

I think I've watched every video you've done regarding the circle of fifths. I find the uses for the COF to be amazing and very helpful. You explain everything about the COF very well. It's what made me subscribe to your channel. Thank you for explaining it so well.

[@Anonymous-cm9md]

Thank you for explaining the modes so well! There are so many convoluted explanations and commentaries on it. ❤

[@rogerd9150]

This is one of the most amazing videos I have ever seen on KZbin!!! I will be watching this video over and over and over again until I have it down pat! Thank you sooooo much for putting this together! Liked and subscribed.

[@zombieguitar]

Thanks for checking out the vid Roger! Glad you liked it 😀

[@walterallen4069]

I find your channel to have some of the best no-BS tutorials on YT. Why is it that on YT plenty of channels will explain enharmonic keys but I haven't seen a single video say that all notes have enharmonic equivalents, especially: B# = C, B = Cb, E# = F, and E = Fb? When spelling out the major scales in B/Cb, F#/Gb, and C#/Db, just wait until they hear that they're getting 6 scales for the price of 3. Thanks again for your channel.

[@zombieguitar]

@@walterallen4069 That can be explained in the 30-key model. Check this one out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3vTmXVmZc-Crassi=WPNwJ2EbZO1bHXzF

[@donaldjames3255]

I found this video an excellant, straight forward explanation of the circle of fifths. The best I've seen, Congrats Brian !!

[@zombieguitar]

Thanks for watching! Much appreciated 🤘

[@terrybanks5063]

sheer brilliance, every time i watch a "beginner" video i remember something old or learn something new. great teaching, great lesson. cheers brian, love to you and fam from uk land!

[@FrequSpectra]

Very well done. Best overview lesson on the topic ever. No BS, no arrogance, no “look how cool I am”, no “sponsor” plugs…like we’re used to wasting our time on with YT vids. Just humble authentic concise knowledge transfer. A man among men 🙏. I might buy your site’s lifetime membership just to support you for what you give for free. THANK YOU

[@zombieguitar]

I appreciate that Kevin. Thanks so much! 😀

[@joeyamador7961]

Best way I've heard it explained so far. Wish my instructor would of explained it this way...

[@leggoego]

I've seen literally (not literally) every guitar video in YT Brian is my favorite teacher! I wish I could afford private lessons with him. Thanks for all you do Brian!

[@Giannboy1]

Once again a most comprehensive exploratory of using the Circle of Fifths! Thank you! Gianni♥

[@taddcohen5558]

This was so informative. Thank you for breaking this down in bite size pieces that are so easily digestible. I’m a fan. Thanks for sharing.

[@billhasty5197]

This is definitely the very best explanation of using the circle of fifths. Brilliant. Thank You Brian.

[@mervingcamille8834]

By far, the best simplest explanation of Circle of fifth. Congrats. Keep it up.

[@uncledoug9934]

Man, that is a lot to absorb. I am going to have to watch it again multiple times in segments to try to understand it all. Thanks for the content!

[@BrunoRibeiro]

Already 10 videos watched in a row, finally someone that doesn't try to sell a bundle every 5 minutes. Thank you very much Brian for your knowledge and to be willing to inform others, cheers.

[@Thrasher-xe8zd]

OMG! Brian this video is a perfect rosetta stone , Thank You . Im gonna be studying this until I have it down .

[@masongee1318]

Awesome content, watched this video over an hour and a half while practicing piano - it helped me gain a much better understanding of how useful the circle of fifths is

[@iancameron5536]

I agree the most clear and concise music theory lesson I have ever watched or heard, and I should add comprehensive, I can't believe how much he covered in such a short period of time + modes too, which I had no clue about, amazing , many thanks!😊

[@zombieguitar]

Thanks Ian! I appreciate the words. Glad you liked the vid 😀

[@xxxxxperseuxxxxx]

Best explanation of the cycle of fifths I've ever seen. It opened horizons for me to new ideas. Thank you very much.

[@robertschroder5874]

Fantastic video, this helped me understand the circle of fifths better than anything else I've come across in many years of playing guitar. You are an amazing teacher!

[@Teeum5]

Great job explaining all that stuff. At the end I got a little confused there was just too much information but now I have a great idea about the circle of fifth and come back whenever I need to. Thanks a lot for all the effort.

[@snailsfrogslegs119]

Best presentation of the circle of 5ths that I have ever seen. Excellent.

[@glenmclellan1536]

Absolutely brilliantly simplified, thank you!

[@martinc9750]

I mean this with all due respect… but this guy literally takes this concept and makes people like me who don’t have the time to learn the lingo / ins and outs and completely explains it like I’m a 10 year old (again in a good way), amazing teaching

[@MaxAtzori]

Thank you very much Brian! This is the best instructional video with regards to theory I have ever seen ….considering it’s all compressed in about 30min. There’s so much info it will keep me busy for a looong time … thanks again

[@monkeyrilla]

Extremely informative, to the point, and practical indeed. Thanks!

[@maxzia136]

30 minutes video,such a rich contents . thank you so for much for sharing it free.

[@camero_m]

[@Mindless-1337]

This is one of the best videos considering music explanations i have ever seen.

[@markpeavy4005]

Great layout! Thanks for helping me dive into the "circle of fifths". I have saved your video to review and will explore your other videos.

[@tomtoss2463]

Not only is this all explained clearly, but it seems like you covered 90% of music theory.

[@ajwright16]

Awesome instructional video! I’m downloading this video and going back to it over and over to study. Already got more ah-hah’s just on a once through viewing.

[@michaelsamazingenglish8580]

Brian always does an amazing and quite clear lesson. This is awesome! THank you!

[@MaxwellMhaka]

Tremendous amount of information,all in a single video,kudos

[@azizaziz7007]

i got Brian membership just to support his good work. I always enjoyed his YT videos

[@zombieguitar]

Thank you Aziz, much appreciated!

[@sherilb8745]

I thought I had a good grasp of this subject. But you certainly blew my mind with this one. Well done. Thank you.

[@chrisw.7039]

I know this has probably been said but I have to give you props again. This is the holy grail of circle of 5ths explanations. This is the best I have seen on the internet in the 2 years I have been looking. Excellent job explaining Master Jedi. I am an absolute beginner with guitar but familiar with music. This is what I wanted unlocked. I believed this to be the most useful tool in guitar playing or music period for that matter. Thank you soooo much sir. This is priceless info here.👍

[@zombieguitar]

Hey glad you like it Chris. Thanks for checking it out! 😁

[@christophercole8877]

Sweet! Compact, easy to follow and remember lessons! Great work, Brian. Thank you.

[@danielfox2290]

Brian that was hands-down the best circle of fifths lesson I’ve watched and I’ve watched a lot! Thank you 👏

[@dan_useche]

Hey Brian, thanks so much for everything you do! I got the tattoo on my left forearm so I can see it while holding the guitar and still strum. The artist did it in a style called aquarela.

[@jimhenkel6681]

Soooooo well explained….thank you! I got most of it until the end. I need to review it to understand relationship.

[@M4NAH1MEK0]

👍Clear and straight to the point.

[@hairutheninja]

This is the best most thorough explanation of the circle I have seen I learned so much from this thank you. Also think I might have to get that tattoo

[@mariadelcarmenmartinez1937]

Graciaaaaaaaassss!!!! La explicación más clara, detallada y genial q he visto sobre el círculo de quintas. Eres increíble. Me encantan tus explicaciones!!!!!🎸🎸😘

[@astorcao123]

Wow! What an awesome practical explanation. Congrats!

[@George_Zip]

More easy to understand theory in a short time than anything else I’ve seen… Awesome!

[@SilverSageMusicStudios]

Best video out there on the circle of 5ths. Thank you so much for your contributions!

[@rogerbrobst5668]

Really cool stuff to know, great explanations, great teaching methods. Thanks a lot for taking time to show the relevance of the circle of fifths, cool 😎 👍 😀 👌 😊

[@vasilisdendrinos7796]

what an amazing presentation! congratulations and thank you

[@TechnologyofFreedom]

Wow! Thought I knew a lot about the circle but learned so much more from this video. Thanks, Brian!

[@re.mi.fa.studio]

a lot of helpful information in 30 minutes. Thank you so much.

[@smoothpicker]

Thanks brian got breaking this down to where it's understandable. I didn't realize how much info was in the circle of fifths!! A new doors has opened!

[@BernardBaker1]

Every time I watced this I learned something new. I am learning bass and this helps me big-time.

[@carloschowell]

Thank you for this comprehensive explanation! Really useful theory!

[@jordantaylor1988]

Great lesson! I wish I knew this stuff 30 years ago when I first got into learning music and guitar

[@Excellentness]

Brian Another great lession That's solid when you tattoo circle of 5 ths on your arm. I'm starting to understand it a little better each time Chair's

[@Andysmusicaljourney]

I'm a complete beginner, and music theory was a pretty complicated and scary thing to me earlier. Having watched your videos, I've actually started to understand the logic. Today I learned first time how "tonal center" works even though this wasn't even the point of the video.

[@zombieguitar]

Awesome! Glad to hear about the aha moment 😁

[@gregodonoghue9664]

Wow man the amount of info in one video is amazing Thanks man you are go to guy now to really help me understand stuff you take no shortcuts!
