I like that you use the keyboard to illustrate some of this. I took beginning music theory in school, but we didn't have a piano at home, so that's how I learned theory on guitar by transcribing what I learned on piano that day. I'm convinced that this gave me a big advantage over those who only learned on guitar.
Thanks for the 18 minutes of music theory in a nut shell for beginner guitarists learning the ropes how to play better music behind every good songs (scale + Melody + Chord + Rhythm lessons).
High quality content. It's wonderful. Please expand these topics in the future videos maybe even make a full series on music theory would love to learn from your sir.
In shcool, obviously multiple classes each day but a total of 3 years in chorus, 6 in concert band, 5 in marching band, 2 in jazz band, and 7 years in music theory. Of course I've learned about the circle of fourth's/fifth's but NEVER once were we taught a mnemonic device to remember the sharps and flats. 23 combined years in music thouhout school and you're still teaching me new things. Thank you 👏👏
Over 50 years of music training - which began with years and years in choir, then seven years in band - which included concert band, pep band and two years in marching band - on multiple instruments - then decades as a singer, performing from England to Hawaii - training under seven opera coaches, with a performance repertoire of over 50 arias composed by Mozart, Bellini, Puccini, Rossini, Verdi, Vivaldi and dozens of other composers * G2 to D6 * and having written over 1,000 songs, over a dozen musicals and now writing my 15th opera - trained in the Circle of 5ths, and various mnemonic devices, and I've created and uploaded educational videos on the principles of music, geometry, chemistry, math, etc., and I am - to this day - learning new things about music.
If you wanted to start getting into applying this all and then looking at the next steps maybe that's an 18 month experience. But the information isn't super hard and I think most people can benefit from a highly visual crash course.
@@samuraiguitaristI personally found a lot of value in this. I've been playing guitar and creating music for about 20 years. I had no idea how the circle of fourths or the circle of fifths worked. I didn't understand how minor and major scales were related. I didn't understand how to build chord progressions other than shapes I visualized based on patterns I built out of sounds in my head. This gives me tools to develop my skills by using these guidelines. I believe this gives me a foundation to study and experiment with for years to come. Thanks sensei.
You're going to need to change your channel name to Shogunguitarist soon.
The paper visuals are genius, love that aesthetic
It's nice to do something a bit different (though time consuming) glad you enjoyed it!
I’m an AP (college-level) Music Theory student and I’m learning more in this than I have in my first semester so far.
Right!? This was my first semester of college music theory class
This guy has been teaching me personally one-on-one for like 10 years and I've learned jack.
Great hair tho 😍
That is the best I've ever seen the scales explained!
Enjoyed most of this yesterday while it was briefly up, and enjoyed the rest of it today. Thanks!

I wish I've seen this video 15 years ago. Thank you!

Thanks, sensei.
And in tomorrow's video we take what we learned today and learn how to solo over Giant Steps.
Lol funny enough, the only other time I did stop motion was for my giant steps video. I still suck at that song
Love the graphics.

Great video. I learned the circle of 5ths, but you explained everything very well. Good job!
Anyway... here's wonderwall
3:36 Jazz!
Very cool
Didn't this already get posted recently?
Ya I had to fix a couple things
@@samuraiguitarist Namely the whole offer!
Man that's GOOD!
I have all your courses and they're great. But now I struggle when I see everyone else refer to the CIRCLE OF FITHS 😅.
Is it a Canadian thing?
Is it???? I didn't know others did it different
Ha ha, lol, I just googled it and I can't believe how many people refer to it as 'fiths' - it's not even a word!! 😂😂
3:36 Omar Rodriguez-Lopez wants to know your location
Sounds like Take The Veil or Tetragrammaton
Love me some Mars Volta
ahhh why is your CoF the wrong way 🙈
B to da C to da D double G.
First
How about learning music theory in 18 months, at least? These learn X in 1 hour stuff are very counterproductive.
