I can't tell you how grateful I am for this video. Your simple and clear instruction has really helped me understand WHY I memorized the circle all those years ago in college theory, and I'm excited to see where this knowledge leads me! Thank you so much!

I really appreciate your comment. I did the same...lots of college music theory, but what you really need to know is the part that applies to the style of music you're playing.

This one is packed with good info, thanks. Only problem I see is how to remember what the circle of 5ths looks like.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

We're mainly concerned with the right side of the circle for the types of songs we do, so remembering the word BEAD followed by GCF helps

@@EddieCollinsMusic ahh, that's helpful thanks

[@rimrock2010]

Great video. Clear and concise explanations. But wait.... mandolins don’t use capos?!🤔

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Yes they do ... that was a prepared response UA-cam provided, so I figured I'd just go with it...lol!
