Unlock ALL Keys in One Pattern: It's already in Your Hands
|
Hey Reader, You might have heard me talk and write about the Circle of Fifths and how powerful it can be for guitar players. This one minute video brings the Circle to life with dynamic visual animation - not just what it is, but how you can use it instantly on your guitar to unlock all keys - and chord progressions. The best part? You already know the Circle - it's hidden in plain sight, right in the standard guitar tuning! I've expanded the concept into a short, easy-to-follow animation. Watch the video here: 
Here's a quick visual of how the pattern of fifths looks on the fretboard (with the circle on the left for reference): 
P.S. Have you seen the new Pythagoras avatar I used in my last two videos? I chose him because his work on the cosmic origins of sound - musical ratios, the harmony of spheres - still inspires so much of how we understand music. I truly believe that music is best understood through patterns - whether cosmic or practical. Why am I experimenting with these voices and tools? Sometimes, it’s just easier to use a prerecorded voice when there’s a lot happening around the house, and these tools let me focus on sharing ideas clearly.

Hi Reader! A brand-new guitar arrived the other day in the studio — the Donner HUSH-I Pro (Hawaiian Blue edition) — and today I posted a full unboxing + sound test on YouTube. I was honestly surprised by how good this thing looks in person, and the plugged-in tone is better than I expected for a travel/silent guitar. If you’re curious what comes in the box and how it sounds straight out of the package, check it out here: 👉 Watch the video In the video I go through: 🎁 unboxing 🔧 quality +...
How did the modes got their names? This short animated video reveals the ancient origins of the modal scale names - who named them and how they evolved through time. Today's modes are nothing like the original ones (which were more theoretical and tuning-focused), but medieval church scholars kept the same names because... well, they sounded cool? More likely, they simply lacked alternatives. By then, the original Greek modal frameworks had fallen out of common use - so they were "free to...
Hello my friend! I got back in the studio with fresh new.. well, everything! I got my new studio fully operational, and just in the right time: Guitar making company Donner reached out to me the other day and asked me to test out their new guitar, the HUSH I PRO Hawaiian Blue - a beauty! The model is still not even released to the public (it will be on November 20th) but I got my hands on it, it was shipped all the way from China ahead of their official release. Their new HUSH line comes...
