Learning music theory is like a nice stroll through the park on a lovely day until you trip on circle of fifths and find yourself tumbling down a jagged cliff into a tar pit filled with shopping trolleys.
Like, major scales, minor scales intervals, chords, nae fucking worries... then you get to the circle of fifths and every teacher just seems to start gibbering and speaking in tongues as if they possessed.
Sure, sure, you can make a lovely circle and every fifth interval you get an extra flat or sharp nice, nice
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT????
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT????
There are a LOT of videos on how to construct a circle of fifths, but nobody actually seems to manage to give examples of WHY you need it. And they all seem very adamant that you must learn it.

One day you busting out John Denver or House of The Rising Sun and then suddenly shit gets into some weird assed astrology wheels and your fingers get all twisted up and then it's mother fucking dorian pentatonic fuckery and shit gets suspended or augmented and Capricorn rising
Like settle the fuck down, you weirdos. I just wanna play an instrument well enough to get seriously laid.
Unless you can explain WHY something is useful, you can't teach it.
Also, I may be thick as shit. Just putting it out there.
