I paid for the whole fretboard so I'm gonna use the whole fretboard.
That's fretting brilliant
Harry potter it’s wordplay, not a joke
If you don’t move up the fretboard at all, then you must be a nut!
Hell, I paid for it 5 times!
YES
I'm a single dad raising two little boys. Lost my wife two years ago and also a veteran dealing with some scars. Two things have really helped keep my chin up and head above water. Art and learning guitar. Your videos are great and easy to follow. Thank you man.
Thank you for your service and truly very sorry for your loss brother.
Great reply! Very sorry for your loss and thank you for your service from a fellow veteran. Keep doing what your doing, it really is great therapy. It looks like your a very good roll model for your boys!
Hooyah Brother...
Easy for me to say, but stay strong for those boys and for all of us guitarists!
✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Stay prayerful Judah. God has also been my strength and motivation to keep on going.
It's true you cannot noodle for 30 years and expect it will come by osmosis. I tried that. I learned nothing. I learned more in 5 years on UA-cam then I did the previous 30. Thanks to all you teachers.
Boom! 💥
I learned Johnny B Goode and I figured that was enough. The problem is everything I play sounds like Johnny B Goode.
@@guitarocd9984 LOL! Meanwhile that was more then enough for Chuck!!!!
So true man!
I’ve been noodling for 2 and I’m getting it lol, maybe slower than normal
This is what it means to be a true guitar teacher. Respect: 100000
Thanks KS.
Great teacher!
I have said many times before, but understanding the entire fretboard unlocks everything else to making music on the guitar! Great work!
Truth...say it again RC!!
@@curiousguitarist Thanks!
I would probably agree. Just easier said than done for us beginners. ☺️
@@SwitchbackXThunter true, but the beginning is still a point on the same path.
There will be another point on that path where this clicks for you, and still another where you will skip over a video like this because it’s too easy :)
@@curiousguitarist haha! Thank you my friend. I’m loving the journey of learning. It’s just its information overload sometimes. There’s so much to learn and at 52 years of age, I don’t pick it up or retain it as easily anymore. 😁
Marty dude I swear you're like that uncle that lives in California and is like super cool and chill
Nothing cool about Commie-fornia anymore unfortunately
@@bhok1971 beast beaches in the country
@Levi Thompson Florida beaches are a tourist trap. I'm partial to NJ beaches, though I can acknowledge they're objectively disgusting too hahah
@@philidor9657 I think we know Texas beaches are the best this year, maybe not that past ones though.
@@bhok1971 Hahaaa is that you Donald ;)
Uncertain if you know this but you’re helping saves lives right now by giving folks purpose day to day, thank you
One of the things that kept me going when I felt like ending myself was getting better at guitar. Not to be a performer, because I'm too shy, but just to get better and more creative. Little things like that can give some people a purpose to keep living.
@@osricwolfing4553 never leave it, and I hope someday you can share it, little by little the more time you put in...
Wow what a great comment. Its so true. Working towards a goal yields positive emotion. And getting better at guitar is insanely satisfying. Jamming on guitar has saved my life and when I first started Marty was one of the only teachers on UA-cam. I owe a lot of my progress to Marty, fantastic teacher.
Well said ☯️✌️🎶
@@osricwolfing4553 I hope you're still going strong. Guitar gave me that same purpose and reason to keep going too. I know exactly how you feel.
Chris Shetland is such a great compliment to Marty’s teaching. Thanks so much, perfect teaching.
Glad you think so!
Couldnt find a link
TY for writing his name.
Sherland
Your self described "nuggets" are incredibly helpful by breaking down complicated theory into small, but useable segments.I like your teaching style.
Thanks so much Allan! Glad this stuff is useful!
I can't believe this man just taught me Hey Joe and I wasn't even holding my guitar...
bro my exact thought
Also low key reminded me of Under The Bridge by RHCP.
Me too 😢
Finally a lesson about the circle that I am able to understand, I am 68 and find retaining what I have learned very difficult. Thanks Chris and Marty.
Proud of you buddy!! Keep going strong!!
I hope you stuck with it. I'm starting, at 62.
7:30- applying the circle of 5ths to triads.
7:50- the notes for triads are on the DGB strings (4,3,2 strings)
8:57- how to use the circle of 5ths to apply new information around the neck of the guitar
10:38- Using the circle of 5ths on only one string
Awesome job Marty!
I see you Tomo, stay funky!! :D
ironic
Marty - Where's your hat?....and what have you done to your face?
That is a massive eye-opener! Thank you.
This blew my mind. I've been playing rhythm guitar in a band for years and recently started learning more theory as I never 'needed' it but this is outstanding. Thank you
You bet Ryan!
I’m 54 years old and I remember back in 9th grade taking night school Acoustic Guitar lessons. She was a very good teacher, but having the internet with UA-cam has groundbreaking for sure. So much more convenient and practical. Nothing against spending money on formal guitar lessons in person but sometimes that’s not feasible.
I’m originally a sax player and Berklee alumni. There is so much that never sunk in until I became a born again musician on guitar fourteen months ago.
Marty I'am 68 now. In 2014 i became a tragic Diagnosis from a EyeCancer I left my left Eye in a Operation and cant no more do my Hobby MTB in that Case I like it. Downhill, Enduro. I was very depressiv. In this time i remember in my Youth i like to learn Guitar. So i started, but how can i learn it. I look in the Internet and find you. I look on the Scream before i knew it in english. So you was my first YT-Teacher. Iam a German Guy and had no Idea from English ! But now i understand more and i stay at your chanel. Thanks for your support- I have a Acoustic Series on CD from you and look every YT Video
The production and look of this video is really nice.
That’s what I’m sayin I dig the lighting and camera quality
Never had a real-life guitar teacher but I've been playing for almost 4 years now progressing so much all thanks to Marty and his lessons!!! Love your work man and keep doing what you're doing! I know I'm not the only one who feels this way ❤️
That strat with the relic neck and the P-47 Thunderbolt on the body is f****** awesome!!!!
Every single video like this is basically this , let me save everyone some time. “I went to school for years to learn this so I can’t remember what not knowing it is like. But I’ll try to cram those years of lessons or school into this 10 min video and no one will truly take much away from this “
Really? That's heartbreaking to hear.
Are you simply unable to find the notes? Build the Barre chords? Because I'm seeing a lot of the opposite feedback in here.
Maybe this is too advanced, but I gotta think if you can find the notes on the low E string, you really are capable of "getting" a lot out of this. I could be totally wrong.
That’s because there is no shortcut to becoming a “Master” of the fretboard unfortunately. And the circle of fifths isn’t where you start.
@@tylerfetherston3208 You can start anywhere, and the circle, with octaves, is a very viable option
@@curiousguitarist I guess what I meant was you can start even simpler than this by learning the notes but you’re right.
@@tylerfetherston3208 Yes, there are many ways to skin this cat.
We see the Teacher behind the "Mastermind"! WOW! both you guys are AWESOME!!!!! ;)
I had the privilege of taking lessons from Fred Sokolow when I lived in LA, and circle of fifths progressions are his bag! As he says, thousands of songs use these progressions.
Holy Moly, Marty!!!! I've never had anyone make the circle of fifths so understandable. Thanks for sharing your teacher with us.
I literally have printouts and diagrams plastered on my walls. Knowing the fret board is VERY important and if you're a passionate guitar player, it should interest you to know as much about the instrument as possible. Never stop learning!
Having a diagram of the circle of fifths on my wall above my piano was so useful, I ended up subconsciously memorising it in a few weeks
@@getinthecrust4907 I don't understand though. The last part of the lesson was that you need to learn every note on the fret board? I guess the circle of 5ths is a frame work for knowing where you are when you try and learn every note?
He’s so good! My playing is on fire today. This is exactly what “social media” should be! Thank Marty for sure!!
Chris
You're welcome!
Been playing exclusively punk and metal for the past two years. My dexterity with both hands is up to speed but I’m staying with and jamming with some country/alternative guys this week so I’m coming here to try learning some basic things to try and keep afloat in standard, Marty the goat fr
That makes it so easy it's ridiculous. It's like the "Idiot's Guide to the Circle of Fifths". Many thanks for taking the time to do this video.
Within 8 mins you put in 3 pieces i was missing from the puzzle in my head i subbed straight away thank you now we know why martys so good at teaching
No doubt, it seems that great teachers turn out more great teachers which is good news for people like me that need all the help we can get!
Chris just blew my mind! I had heard of the circle of fifths but any time I'd start to watch or read anything about it, I'd LITERALLY go into a coma! Chris does a great job of getting right to it and making it clear.
I learned Hey Joe from you Marty! But I was a parrot or a monkey just imitating. I know you mention circle of fifths in, that video but you know...coma!
That's a great comment Scott, thanks and so glad this one helped!!
@@curiousguitarist HI Chris, absolutely loved the video (you've opened my eyes) I have to ask, what amp & pedal were you using in this demonstration? I 'really' like the tone and how it breaks up just at the right time.
@@cv7900 this is just the guitar straight into a Yamaha THR10 desktop modeling amp (one of the best pieces of gear I’ve ever bought).
It has a master volume knob that seems to perfectly mimic a tube amp at high output. I’m shocked how dynamic it is actually.
Glad you enjoyed this!
@@curiousguitarist Thank you Chris, that's very helpful. have a great week
@@cv7900 You too Charles! I wish I had a super fantastic answer that would apply to any amp/pedal, but I just dial in the master vol until it gets to this great dynamic point where the break up comes with right hand pressure on the attack. It is quite magical and has a very elastic feel to it.
Heartfelt thank you to Marty and Chris, this has really made something click in my head i've been struggling for months to try and understand the fretboard and I can already see how this links in to bar and power chords - I even noodled for the first time in my life and it actually sounded good after watching this!
The best fucking advice player could use. Thank you so much for pulling us up for us to watch and learn. I’ve been playing the guitar 30+ years, and this is the best lesson of all, so thanks 1 million
OMG, this is a great lesson. I'm a huge Marty fan and now I'm interested in more lessons from his teacher. I've studied the circle of 5ths before, but this video made things much simpler to grasp. Thank you!
That’s great to hear!!
I 2nd that, what a wonderful super easy lesson, that's how awesome teachers are so easy to get, Mr. Sherland thank you very much, you ROCK!!!
@@Haelmuscle thanks! Glad you enjoyed this one!
Wow. I finally get it. It just goes to show how a good teacher makes all the difference in the world.
Best teacher ever. So simple but so effective! Love to listen and learn from Chris! Top!!!
I’ve been rewatching this video all week. Really making sure that I was getting the concept because my self (UA-cam) learning has hit a roadblock where I needed to connect the dots of what I was trying to do. There is so much information and tunnels of new things to learn like voicing, styles, progressions, scales, chords…a perfect combination for any occasion that I’m not sure any one human can learn all of; this helped me get over my first Roadblock of not seeing where I was going. So thank you
Super useful. Going to grab my guitar. We all talk about the circle but usually don't apply it to fret board patters. Thank you.
I love watching and listening to experts in whatever field they command. When an expert is unassuming and like the friend next door I know it is true gold.
I have had a difficult time trying to learn this concept. I’ve found many articles online and many videos on UA-cam but still couldn’t make sense of it.
This is the first time I’ve been able to wrap my head around it and I’m so excited to use these techniques in my everyday practice. Thank you so much!!
I've been studying scales key signatures. This video helped me understand all those sharps, flats, neck layout, & so much more. Great video!
I swear I've heard Hey Joe about 15 times in the last couple weeks just out in the world. Guess it's time to finally learn it. The universe is telling me something.
Do it ! It's awesome and not to hard.
Marty you’re a class act! Paying homage to your teacher like that is so cool to see!
Great lesson. Love the Thunderbolt on his guitar.
Thanks to you both, Marty and Chris for this incredibly useful lesson. The "Circle" has always intimidated me. I appreciate you breaking it down into simple patterns, and showing the triad chords and blues scales. Several light bulbs went on! I have recently subscribed to both channels and find your methods of teaching so easy to follow. Thanks for encouraging and inspiring me and creating better players with your content.
Between Chris and Marty I’ve learned so much. Thank you guy!
✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Thank you so much Chris and thank you as always Marty. That was incredibly helpful. Probably the most enlightening 14 minutes of guitar learning I have had in a while, perhaps yet.
Thanks for helping demystifying this. Nicely done.
Fantastic lesson! Thanks Marty and Chris!
Most useful lesson ever on UA-cam. Thank you. Marty and TEACHER.
hey marty! i started watching you a little while ago and now i have never left my guitar alone!!! you inspire me so much and i hope you see this so u know that you are amazing, well done👍🏻
Ive been struggling with coming up with good chord progressions on the fly so this lesson was gold
Thanks Marty for bringing the lesson and thank you Chris for literally straightening out that circle and putting it on the fret board so much easier to understand and great lesson.....have a great day guys ......Cheers!!!
This is great stuff. I've been working with the Circle of Fifths and Hey Joe literally for months now exploring all of the embellishments, and it has unlocked the fretboard for me. I had an epiphany that it's like the universal key that unlocks so many doors. The next stage after the bar chords, as Marty demonstrated (and I hope he adds a second video to teach this) is to add embellishments using the major pentatonic scale that sits right above each of the chords. The E bar chords and the A bar chords throughout the Circle of Fifths each have a major pentatonic scale that starts one step up on the fretboard and (fortunately for those of us trying to learn the guitar) the shapes of those major pentatonic scales are the first two shapes that we all learned as beginners. Right above each of the E bar chords starts the "extension" of what we've all learned as the minor pentatonic scale with the root on the A. And right above each of the A bar chords is the minor pentatonic that we all learned with the root on the E. Those pentatonic shapes that we learned as the E root and A root minor pentatonic scales are the major pentatonic scales for those notes/chords and their position sits right on top these bar chords as we progress through the Circle of Fifths. There are all kinds of double stops and embellishments to be found in both of those scale forms. I have been endlessly fascinated with this after I really discovered it and I have been practicing in this for months. I love it, and I just thought I'd share. I'm certainly no expert and I learned almost everything I know from Marty. Marty's the man! I just thought I would share my enthusiasm about this.
Sounds like you need to start a channel of your own already!!!
Whooohoo!
As a new guitar player, your comment reads to me like quantum mechanics. One day I'll get there but I've got a mountain to climb!
Any other beginners see this and think "oh cool! It says it's easy!" and you're still completely lost after watching it multiple times? Fml 😂
Just like learning anything else; patience and repetition until you get to that eureka moment. Im kinda there with you but one thing I have learned in the past 20 years of playing is that when you stop trying so hard and you just play with perseverance, everything eventually falls into place and begins to make more and more sense. Best of luck to ya. You got this!
So happy this popped up on my feed. SUPER insightful/helpful video, thank
you!
Thanks Chris, I've been using the Circle of Fifths slightly differently for the past couple of years for Rhythm, but now I'm finally tackling my scales (30 years to late!), this tutorial has been invaluable, thanks Marty for hosting Chris 🙂
I've struggled with the circle of fifths for a while now . To be honest, I sort of gave up trying to understand it. This video felt like a real break through for me. Thanks so much, Chris and Marty. Hopefully we'll see more of Chris in the future!
That's really incredible to hear Callum!
It’s funny because I was thinking the same thing, I thought after I saw Chris explain it on the fretboard, why hasn’t anyone else explained it that way? It finally made sense! Superb!! Thanks Chris and Marty!
@@epiphone278 you bet Tim! I’m glad this view brought it into focus.
Played by ear for 15 years purely acoustic, 20 mins watching Chris has me a practice amp & guitar on the way, great to watch
Thanks 👍🤟
That’s great!!
That was very well explained. Useful and quick. Thanks.
Marty. Thanks so much for having your instructor explain this. Sure does help explain the circle for sure and really helps open up the neck.
I really like that SG.
I'm a strummer and I really enjoy each and every Marty UA-cam post . not sure if I'll live long enough to play some lead but I'll have fun trying with your information. thanks again
You'll be able to play lead. All it takes is practice!
Thank you Chris, I can see that you're an excellent instructor!
Thank you for this amazing lesson.
I love how he randomly played hey joe
Marty! You and your Sensei, Chris are not just great guitarists, you are master instructors. Really appreciate you breaking things down and helping we mere mortals play the legends.
Glad to help Richard!
That was just brilliant and really helped to put another piece of the puzzle together! Love the contet!
It's been great gradually improving my skill through the years as I've watched your videos and seeing your skill improve too.
I've been playing guitar for over 20 years........ And WOW I just had a monumental moment unravel in my brain!!! This right is here is straight up Gold. I wish I would have had this lesson when I was younger.. This is absolutely the best simplified, relatable breakdown of the circle of 5ths I have ever seen, and I only watched the video once.. Even tying in the triads and the scales.. This should be the staple lesson for every guitar player without a doubt. Thanks Chris, and Thanks Marty for all your lessons as well, they are Gold as well!!
You read my mind, man! I've been searching for a tutorial on this
So glad this is useful Dude!
Excellent lesson. Excellent teaching. Thank you.
Marty, thanks for this lesson. I really appreciate your work!
I just want to say thank u marty for the guitar lessons if it wasn't for u I wouldn't be able to play the songs I want so a big thank you marty from Glasgow Scotland 🏴🙏🏻
That was an awesome lesson. Actually fairly easy to understand, just when I've been feeling really discouraged. Especially considering I've been told I sound shitty, and that people don't usually stick with it and give up. This video made me feel like, challenge accepted!
Don't be discouraged by the so-called critics (haters). Keep practicing and playing. Improvement comes with practice and enjoyment.
💯 keep pushing and those haters hate them selves
A very inspiring lesson. Fantastic teacher!!
Great lesson. Thank you. I followed Chris!
That was probably one of the easiest methods of learning the circle of fifths applied to the fretboard ever. Amazing work.
Yup. This just unlocked the ability to chord chase for me. Just tried it with G,C,D and the 7 note major scale. Feelin like a BOSS!!
Bam!!! Winner winner, circle of fifths dinner!!
@@curiousguitarist And, that would be great to see--what MR calls Chord Chasing, how does Circle of Fifths facilitate that?
@@blindponyband I'd suggest bypassing what's called "chord chasing" and go right to "target note" study. It's the same end, but target notes forces you to think more :)
@@curiousguitarist Could you give a quick example of what you mean by "target note" study?
@@curiousguitarist Are you saying that if the progression goes from D to A to G, and when it changes from D to A that you think of the E note in A chord, then think of the D note in the G chord, then think of the F# in the D chord...and be able to locate those notes and play licks around them?
How cool of you to give your teacher a platform. I enjoyed the lesson and his style and demeanor. You’ve taught me a lot too. Thanks!
Fantastic lesson, lots of information in there to help out and nothing too complicated! loved it
I just had such a fun session after this video! I won’t pretend to completely understand the circle of fifths after this video but it was a huge step in the right direction.
Complete understanding is an illusion anyway. I went to a music school and I STILL don’t fully grasp it.
Music theory is a never ending study, I’m just loving being on the bus :)
@@curiousguitarist Oh don't I know it. I started as a music major and I've learned way more from people on UA-cam, both because I think there is an imperative to teach for understanding and because there is no pressure on timing - I have the time to have epiphanies.
Thanks Chris & Marty. I found the CAGED system has helped me big time in learning my way around the fretboard. Please keep doing these lessons.
I might recommend also learning the intervals from a root note - like where is the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, from the C. this forms the foundation for knowing what notes are available for any chord.
Great info! Thanks for the great lesson.
great information! Thanks Chris!
I recently learned the circle of fifths. Now I can learn to apply it, thanks to your lesson. Awesome video.
A year later I just picked up something that I didn’t quite get last year. Love your lessons.
Thank you very much Marty for introducing Chris as your teacher, I am following him as well now...Cheers!
Thanks! Uptown!
WOW. Amazing lesson when you play along and digest it.
Excellent lesson Chris
Ok, you've got me interested. Mapping it to the Fretboard right away helps. So I've got this Circle, WHAT can I do with it? Ready for a follow up video. :)
Play different riffs utilize it into your soloing or just playing in general , help you understand the mechanics of some songs like hey joe .
I have been working on the religiously for a bit now. Comes in waves then I lose it. I’m really hoping this helps!!
That is exactly how the human brain normalizes complex subjects. It’s clear as a bell, then solid mud! Then back again!
The good news is that every time you come back to clarity a little more sticks.
Welcome to life as a musician right!?
@@curiousguitarist yessir! Loving every minute of it! You have a new sub in me sir!
@@mr5039 thanks so much for the sub, I really appreciate it!
Fantastic lesson! Thanks for laying it out so plain.
Mind Blowing!!! Thanks Chris, and Marty for hosting. Awesome! :)
As the master ace freahly says practice practice and a little more practice
He also says “I don’t know what I’m doing”
You can practice for ever but if you never connect the dots you can only copy / learn songs and make songs. Which is cool. But it’s nothing compared to truly knowing the full theory behind the fretboard.
Hey joe what are you doing with my riff in your hand
Love this lesson! Thanks.
Great Job! You easily put the pieces together. Thanks!
I was lost
But now I'm found!
So everything was kinda clear to me but i dont exactly understand how to put the blues scale into the fifths. Should it change the pattern of the blues scale or it actually just starting the blues scale shape on another root note(the next fifth)
Use the same EXACT pattern, just start it on the next note in the pattern. Watch the vid a few times and it’ll sink right in!
Good luck!!!
@@curiousguitarist ok i think i understand it now. Thanks :)
@@Santiino yessssss!!!
Dude!! Awesome lesson!! Got it all and I’m very excited!!
Absolutely fabulous! Thank you so much.
