I put together a video about the Circle of 5ths, specifically for bluegrass players. It helps make sense of those "extra" chords you hear in the trickier tunes heard at jams and provides the language needed to communicate with all the other instruments. Here's the link: youtu.be/tskX1ox-QKM

Thanks Eddie. You put out some of the best educational material out there.

Really appreciate folks taking time to leave a nice comment. My plan is to follow up with songs that seem to "break the rules" in regards to the way the chords move within their progression.
