[@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?

[@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.

[@alexstankovic2947]

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

[@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!

[@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 😃

[@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

[@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.

[@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 😃

[@studioedin5288]

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

[@xxxxxperseuxxxxx]

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

[@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 😁

[@Carlos28803]

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

[@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!

[@Anonymous-cm9md]

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

[@billhasty5197]

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

[@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 😀🎸

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@ericespiritu4504]

Finally understood the concept of the circle of fifths, because of your simple but profound explanation! THANKS.

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

Everyone can teach, but true teachers, as here, always shine.

[@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.

[@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!

[@snailsfrogslegs119]

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

[@camero_m]

There is so much good information in this video. Thanks for putting this together

[@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 😀

[@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!

[@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 😀

[@Geistlos0]

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

[@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

[@yergeoff]

concise, condensed, and to the point. thank you.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@Thrasher-xe8zd]

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

[@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.

[@Giannboy1]

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

[@cmozart]

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

[@smokeymirrors3946]

wow he made this so easy to understand!

[@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 😀

[@maxzia136]

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

[@tomtoss2463]

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

[@mohammad-ps6zl]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 😀

[@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
