    hey man I just have one question. You say in this video that the best way to get from a major to d sharp minor is from a sharp 7th. Why is that?

    To get from A to D#minor:

    Go from A to A#7, which leads to D#minor. Because A#7 is the fifth of D#.

    The 5 chord works for all keys :)

    so you are going like… 5 and then 1. The 5th being the a#7 and then the 1 being the D#m right?
