Big ups.
Anyone care to explain the circle of fifths? I've read about it for the past 18 years. I've had countless musicians try to explain it to me. True, I'm as dull as a brick, but anyone care to take another crack?
The theory is pretty complicated I reckon... But I just use it for quick reference as to what notes are in what scale!

This pretty much wraps it up:

I love the harmonic minor, especially in D. I think I overuse it tbh.
Try the blues scale - I'm writing a tune right now with a classic 3 chord trick (just 16-bars intsead of the usual 12), and it sounds pretty funky with a half time beat behind it.
Try pentatonic for some oriental flavour (just play all the black keys)

diminished minor 3rds = dark and unresolved IMO

I find the most completely rinsed dubstep chord progression is just minor triad, then minor triad semitone above or below. Its not a conventional scale or mode or whatever but its used in like midnight request line and stagger actually so much skream, crunked up, spyro by headhunter duno loadsa stuff. Can use it in basslines too obviously not with actual chords but implications of the two chords/keys an that
