I absolutely hate 'rules' like these. Anything can go into anything, one needs to learn what impression a particular transition would create instead of some abstract symbolic guidances.
I find that whatever melody you’re playing (either from a song or just from improvisation), the root note is either at note intervals 1, 3, or 5 BELOW the melodic notes played on the main down beat (or immediately after the down beat following a passing melodic note). If I can hear the root notes of the song in my head, I find that I am able to identify which of the three note intervals BELOW the melodic note I will play without trial and error. I also know that for most songs, the last note of the song will end with the root note at note interval 1 (where the root is the same as the melodic note but one or two octaves down). As a result, I am able to play songs by ear simply by “sighting” the melodic note I’m about to play on my right hand on the upcoming down beat to quickly identify the next root note I will play with my left hand pinky. Holding my left hand in a fixed claw like position, I just roll the notes at 5, 8 and 10 note intervals ABOVE the root note to play the accompanying chord. What are your thoughts on this process of simply playing “by sight” as opposed to playing “by ear”?
Look up "nashville number system". I'll try to briefly explain just in case, For example, in the key/scale of C major, the notes are: C D E F G A B The nasville number system says, "let's number each note": 1. C 2. D 3. E 4. F 5. G 6. A 7. B Now give every note a chord: 1. C- CM 2. D- Dm 3. E- Em 4. F- FM 5. G- GM 6. A- Am 7. B- Bdim Now that the chords and notes are numbered you can tell which is the 5 or 6 or 3 chord and so on. For example, the 3 chord is E minor (Em) because the chord of E minor is in the 3rd position of the scale. The guy in the video just puts the numbers in roman numeral form. Furthermore this can be done to all 12 keys, not just C. Anyhow, I recommend you look it up, hopefully someone explains it better than me. Good luck ;)
We say, 'Ti' you say 'Si'. I came across the same thing with my Peruvian neighbour. Such a minor difference. Usually language differences are larger and pronounced.
This is a list of rules but no explanation of why.

true, plus this video offers no explanation

How can I find the subsequent lessons ?
Thank you, very helpful!

Nice update
Why V cannot go to IV?
Ya that's what I was thinking .. coz we used that 🙄
It can, but it cannot end there since it's not in from any note of the tonic chord
Dominant function
V -> I
Nice tut

Thanks.
I dont get what meant by numbers here?! Ive never learnt maybe
Look up "nashville number system".
I'll try to briefly explain just in case,
For example, in the key/scale of C major, the notes are:
C
D
E
F
G
A
B
The nasville number system says, "let's number each note":
1. C
2. D
3. E
4. F
5. G
6. A
7. B
Now give every note a chord:
1. C- CM
2. D- Dm
3. E- Em
4. F- FM
5. G- GM
6. A- Am
7. B- Bdim
Now that the chords and notes are numbered you can tell which is the 5 or 6 or 3 chord and so on.
For example, the 3 chord is E minor (Em) because the chord of E minor is in the 3rd position of the scale.
The guy in the video just puts the numbers in roman numeral form. Furthermore this can be done to all 12 keys, not just C.
Anyhow, I recommend you look it up, hopefully someone explains it better than me. Good luck ;)
Thanks ..keep friendly..

Always more homework...
