Hey, man, I don't know how you do it, but you're a blessing to us and I'm so grateful to God that you took this path of content creation... Thanks for the time, effort, resources, and patience. I hope one day I meet you in person and say "Thank You 🙇 "
Re approx 38:00: Finding the notes in a major scale is much faster w/ circle 5ths in my opinion, if you use a different method. Find the tonic note for the key. Add 1 note counterclockwise (4th) and 5 notes clockwise (5th, 2nd, 6th, 3rd, 7th). Try re-writing the circle with scale degrees instead of notes, lot of mileage there. Or with the tonic at 12 o’clock if you’re working on a specific key.
Hello. I have been going through all your videos. They are long, and demand my full focus and attention, but rightly so. I really appreciate your depth and breakdown of these topics. I have watched so many other videos from other people and while they were pack full of information, they were missing that ability that you possess to break down the topic into relevant and useful information that is supported by a reason behind the design of the system. If your books are half as insightful as these videos they will still be worth reading. I just ordered the first volume and I am looking forward to it. But I just wanted to say that I never would have ordered your book if I wasn't able to sample your style with these videos that you freely give to us. Specifically, I remember in the opening to one video, you saying that you will continue to make long videos despite people asking for shorter. I like that. I like your conviction and your honesty about the work that it takes to learn these topics. Seeing that in your videos, gave me trust and confidence that I was making a good decision ordering your book. So thank you for putting so much work into these videos and making them available for free. I have been playing guitar for around 20 years. I have strong, nimble, and calloused fingers. But even so, over the years, I have failed to understand my guitar, and I have failed to improve. You have given me the framework and confidence to progress. Thank you.
Parfait comme explication ! Le cercle des 5 enfin abordé entièrement.... acceder à un contenu comme le tiens est super, j'en suis vrmt reconnaissant merci!!
I think the only video this channel is missing is a video explaining how to analyze a piece/ a jazz standard and how to know what options we have for soloing over the chords, how to know what scales would work etc... a lot of us know scales, intervals, chords but we don't know how to analyze and know what to use where... what's the best way to do that? if you could do a long video on that it would be JUST AMAZING !! Thanks for all the effort Guillaume ! Happy New Year !
I’m new to your channel. I learned how to play guitar years ago. After playing basic Chords for years I never really enjoyed my guitar playing. Strumming & basic picking was ok for writing my song however I didn’t have any confidence playing guitar in front is talented guitarists. Now at 72, I’m starting to play my guitar again however this time I want to do it right & build confidence so I feel confident & comfortable regardless of who I am playing in front of. I’m happy I found you because I was going down the Rabbit hole of getting overwhelmed with the circle of 5ths. Now I’m going to check out your other videos before I tackle the Circle of 5ths.
Thank you for explaining the history of the circle. I just use it as a tool for going through all of the keys. Using the CAGED system I can circle through all of the keys up and down the neck. Right now I'm working on the major pentatonic but the minor is next, then major and minor full scales. Appreciate all of your content and explanation.
Nice vid. I’ll check out more. Theory, ear training, learning other people’s stuff, writing, jamming maybe to a metronome. All of these are part of the big picture. A lot of great players are relatively weak on theory. But it does open some doors especially when lacing what you see others do in a context. Tonnetz is my new favorite toy. It’s basically a Taurus of musical relationships that incorporate the circle of fifths, in one dimension and other circles in other dimensions.
I watch your videos even though I really dont need, but, you are a great teacher Will... if I ever get a student who is serious, I like your explanations
Hi Will. Very helpful as ever - thank you. Stupid question time...at 33mins and 34 mins you say how we can tell which particular notes are sharp or flat. You start with B major and then go straight to F in the circle to find out. Why start with F? Then the same with the example of Db Major. Why start on the Bb to find out which notes are flat? (Hope you have a great Xmas and Happy New Year to you) Bill
Hi, Will. Thanks for the videos. Are you currently working on your third music theory book specifically written for guitarists, and do you know about when it will be released?
To find all the notes in a scale start with your tonic go back one note then go forward five notes the 7 notes of the notes of your scale that could be seen in 2 seconds using the circle of fifths !
Thank you for asking and sorry for the delay in my reply. I've been a performing musician since I was about 8 years old and teaching and writing for about 20 years Music is a gift of God and just between us I've never turned anyone because of money How about yourself sir ? Michael
Uhhhh sorry but: Going counterclockwise it's intervals of perfect fourths Check it on a piano ... or write out the scale Clockwise 5ths Counterclockwise 4ths
I'm giving this a thumbs up before I hit play because I'm THAT sure it's gonna be THAT good... been waiting for a new video !! Thanks !!

Thank you!
Always appreciate the effort you put into these sessions. Many thanks.
You’re very welcome! Glad I can help
I heard many explanations about the CoF, but all others just describe it w/o any much of extra indications. You are really making it clear. Thank you.
Thank you!

Thank you so much Guillaume
Thank you!
Tks for the great content and for making everything a lot easier to understand.
Sorry I typed the last comment rather quickly you know what you're talking about and thank you for sharing your hard work you rock !!!

Keep it up. Helping me break through the rut

thks for sharing your knowledge - nice & clear
Thank you for listening!

Another excellent lesson . Thank you.
Game changer! Thank you 🙏

Great lesson, thank you...
That guitar is gorgeous. Is it custom?
Thank you! No it’s called a Fender Parallel Universe but it does have some custom cosmetic modifications
Great Video 😊
Hi Will. Very helpful as ever - thank you.
Stupid question time...at 33mins and 34 mins you say how we can tell which particular notes are sharp or flat.
You start with B major and then go straight to F in the circle to find out. Why start with F?
Then the same with the example of Db Major. Why start on the Bb to find out which notes are flat?
(Hope you have a great Xmas and Happy New Year to you)
Bill
Because the first sharp is always F! If you refer back to the table you will see that :). Same to you!!
Hi, Will. Thanks for the videos. Are you currently working on your third music theory book specifically written for guitarists, and do you know about when it will be released?
I'd like one of your books 🤓

I think you're a goog dude. Subbed. TY.
There's an infinite number of uses for the circle of fifths I'm going to do a video on one maybe you could too there's enough material 🤔
I've taught playing guitar for many years how many years have you been teaching ?
Thank you for asking and sorry for the delay in my reply.
I've been a performing musician since I was about 8 years old and teaching and writing for about 20 years

How about yourself sir ?
Michael
Uhhhh sorry but:
Going counterclockwise it's intervals of perfect fourths
Check it on a piano ... or write out the scale
Clockwise 5ths
Counterclockwise 4ths
The light bulb moment.
Why C#min/Dbmin in your diagram? Should it not be Ebmin ?
No C# is the same as Db, not Eb
Shure , C# is Db. However, a perfect 5th above G# is Eb/D#, not C#/Db.
@@tacozandbergen5439 let me check!
@@tacozandbergen5439100%! That’s a typo I need to fix. Thank you!🙏
Yeah I need speed 😂
Stop using the word "journey" TY for thevideo.
Thank you for your teaching, your talking alot really helps to understand guitar...your vidio's are a really big help..🇺🇸😎☕
