The Circle of 5ths

[ImaPirate83]

[ergo151]

Good stuff, but that humming sound is REALLY distracting!!

[SIRONEDRAGON]

COOL

[g3rman045]

Wow, thankyou. this is alot of the stuff im learning and working on with my guitar teacher..and it's really confusing because i was never really good at theory. i was more of an ear player..but im working on my theory as best i can, and this helps:)

[Gomagomes]

very nice, i'm studying chord inversions and in the beginning is a little hard, but if u want to play jazzy stuff u need to know it very well

[UlrichPortnoyDonati9]

That's fucking amazing!!! Yah know you could just stop being way more bad ass than me any time, it would make me feel way fucking better!!! Fantastic buddy Much love from the prog guys. I'm gonna try to incorporate you brilliant jazzy lesson into my prog metal playing! love you man.

[Gomagomes]

sounds interesting! it's a great combination, metal and jazz =D have u heard sleep terror?

[77Saphires77]

genius

[thedirtydeltas]

Thanks man i;m actually studying this atm and have to make a tune using the circle.Its actually challanging for simple rock folk like myself, i have a highest respect for you jazz guys,you certainly know your shit!

[DieselBodine]

Thanks, thedirtydeltas, for stopping by! You'll get the hang of the Circle pf Fourths/Fifths. You already use a bit of it when playing Blues, Country, Rock & Roll and lots of other styles... it just doesn't go very far into the Circle with the other styles.

[conn6m]

Heavy stuff. This lesson actually made me laugh because it's so superior to similar ones attempted by others on you tube. - probably because you really know your music. Fab musical examples that are made to look easy but actually require years of practice.

So I repeat my comment on lesson 1 (Dim Scale) if you are a beginner the modes are the place to start - come back here later. (lol - thats 'Lots of love' from Yorkshire land)5*

[DieselBodine]

Hello Andy. A little behind on my Comment Responses. I wasn't attempting to use this as a lesson for a beginning Guitarist. You have to start them on a ''C chord'' and start explaining how music works from the ground up.

[userfixit]

Not sure if I missed this one !

Anyways... I watchin' again - just for the Culture !

Hello B. Bob. It's only been 2 months since you posted your Comment. I think I need to delete a few hundred videos so I can keep up with my Comment Responses! LOL & 8-)

[Chordwayze]

Scott, you put this across real well. Now that's where I fall over. I can't teach it!

Great stuff m'man.

Regards

John

[LeopardJoy]

Oh that sounds pretty! I think I'll be learning a lot here! (I'm currently learning guitar)...

thanks,

Joy

[DieselBodine]

Hi Joy! I en*Joy*ed your appearance on the newest ''Maynard and Eunice Show'' video. Thanks for the Subscription.

[userfixit]

Scott... just what I needed. Greatly appreciated.

I use theory on keyboards... hmm - wouldn't hurt to give it a try on guitar.

-Greatly appreciated and a well received reminder.

-B. Bob

[DieselBodine]

Hello B. Bob. It works with any chromatic instrument. 8-)

[Rhonda9]

You are a genius!

[DieselBodine]

Aw shuck, Rhonda... no I'm not. 8-)

[kleiboff]

Thanks. Now all we have to do is practice for 31 years..... !

[DieselBodine]

Hello kleiboff. It won't take that long! I promise. 8-)

[CDmagz]

I wish I could play the guitar!!

[DieselBodine]

Hi Natasha! I do give lessons. That's why I thought I'd share a bit with you all.  8-)

[CDmagz]

Cheers and have you received my pm??

fun stuff...wish i had time to pay more attention...how do you like your artcore? I need a new electric...affordable

[DieselBodine]

Hi Boyd. Oh, I like it. I think I payed 4 bills for it, including the case and taxes. Sure, there's better, but this is fine. The occasional distortion on the video is from recording just a pinch too loud into the video, not from my Guitar/Amp.

[ftom2006]

Great teaching, too, you certainly know what you are doing.

[DieselBodine]

Thanks, Frank. The concepts are similar whether it's Guitar or Trombone or whatever... just some fun with music! 8-)

[ftom2006]

Yeah, the problem with my trombone playing is exactly that I never managed to get myself to an understanding about which tone would fit in the chord, produce an interesting tension, and so on. I was taught like that someone just showed me about how to reproduce a written line on the instrument. Very similar to a machine I stuck dependend on the written code, and could not develop something beyond these limits. Therfore, a real musican remained like a marvelous magician for me!

[debswildhoney]

Great lesson, Scott. It's fun to see how the patterns play and intertwine.

[DieselBodine]

Thanks, Deb! Get out that Guitar and give it a whirl! 8-)

[Stevepat1]

Great videos on the Octatonic Scale and others. I could listen to this stuff all day long. I just love music theory and trying to figure out why some notes work and some don't.

You're a fine teacher Mr. Bodine. Thanks!

[DieselBodine]

Thanks, Stevepat. I love this stuff, too. 8-)

[f3xpgm]

That was very cool, i wish i would play like that but there's no time for everything! The day should have 48 hours! lol

[DieselBodine]

Hello Felix. I wish the days were longer, too! 8-)

[fr33atesickz]

More great Diesel! The ony subscription i need to get me through life :D

[DieselBodine]

Thanks, fr33atesickz! May I quote you on that? Big 8-)

[freddym223]

if i had a teacher like you when i was young

"i coulda ben a contender"seriously bodine,very good lesson! 5*

[DieselBodine]

Thanks Freddy. You're a contender without my two bits being thrown in to warp out your brain. LOL & 8-)

[b5b9]

Great lesson! It looks like you know a thing or two - or even three. But seriously, thank you for sharing this information and encouragement. There is enoungh here for months of study and experimentation.

[DieselBodine]

Hello b5b9. It's cool... your username is the Inverted/Altered chord I'm using in the video.  I'm glad you could find some useful stuff in my video. 8-)

[shabdadune]

That aint nothin, i can play them chords using the dogmatic AND catatonic scales!

[DieselBodine]

Wow shabdadune! The dogmatic and catatonic scales are only reserved for the masters of the trade. I'm in awe! 8-)

[Basso9x13]

I prefer the ginantonic scale, myself. ;-)

Cool clip - I think someone tried to teach me some of this in college. I'll pass this along to a sax player I know who's always asking me about my thought process when I improvise. Mine's more like: "Let's see, I'll start on this note & the next chord has THAT note - yeah, I like that one... now.. what's a fun way to get there?"

... and along the way I often take detours and end up somewhere completely different...

Thanks for the road maps!

[DieselBodine]

Hello Robert. We all have our personal ways of getting around the music. The end result is what counts to the listener. 8-)

[maurieer]

Great playing. Great lessons from

a Great Teacher.

Thanks Scott.

5/5

[DieselBodine]

Thanks, Gene. Thought I'd give this a shot for those that are interested or could find the info useful.

[dhaffner101]

These are great videos Scott, I put this in my guitar lessons playlist, UR lookin' "official" now with the beard!

Oh wise Bodine!

[DieselBodine]

Hi Dave.  The beard made me do it! LOL & 8-)

[woodytfc]

Scott that was great you make it look easier than it is - I look forward to the lesson using the Locrian mode lol

[DieselBodine]

Hello Woody. I'll probably make a video on the 7 modes.

[patrikahlberg]

You're such a great teacher! It's always fun to listen to somebody who knows his stuff!

Keep em good videos commin! It would alot of fun to hear some more educational videos from you.

Have a good one!

/Patrik

[DieselBodine]

Hello Patrik. I'll make more of this type of video in the future. Thanks for watching!  8-)

[Ninja187Rules]

cool stuff

[DieselBodine]

Thanks, Ninja187Rules.  8-)

[Jazzguts]

Great teaching Scott, what an advantage the youngsters have today on the Tube, that old Cats like us are teaching them here "for free",I sure hope they realize that and don't take everything that's done here for granted. Anyway the other side of the Medal is that they'll have to work just as hard as us to "initialize and Absorb" this Material.There are no short-cuts in Jazz and that's a good thing to learn discipline. Jazz is SERIOUS FUN,lol greets Vic.

[DieselBodine]

I agree, Victor. I think there's people that think learning music is simple, but there's a lot to it. If all one wants to do is strum chords to a I-IV-V tune, sure... then it is easy, but think of all the variables that arise across the world and through time... then you'll find music is a lifelong discovery.

[Jazzguts]

Totally agree, Scott, I see a lot of young guys talking bout Musical freedom but what do they mean by that? freedom without knowledge and responsibility is Freedom based on nothing ,just a meaningless word passing by like the wind,without any foundation. Greets Vic.

[mettanc]

well, if u can teach again, do it.....u look like u enjoy and and u know what the heck u r talking about for sure.

[DieselBodine]

Hello Michael. Thanks for the encouragement. 8-)
