Your dad's brother would be your uncle. Your grandfather's brother would be your great uncle. For each "great" for "father", use one "great" for "uncle".
In the instance you used, the brother of your great-great-great grandfather would be your great-great-great-great uncle. (There is a grandfather [2 generations] but no "grand uncle", so you need a "great" to replace the "grand".
The easiest thing is to remember a parent, grandparent, etc., brother would be your uncle, just that many generations removed.

Funny how only one person (sandg) can count to four :-)
Father's brother = uncle
Grandfather's bro = great uncle
Great Grandfather's bro = great great uncle
Great Great Grandfather's bro = great great great uncle
Great Great Great Grandfather's bro = Great Great Great Great Uncle.

He would be your great-great-great-grand-uncle. Because the common ancestor would be your great-great-great-great grandfather, he would be the child and you would be the 4x great grandchild. Therefore, you would be his great-great-great-grand-nephew or -niece, and he would be your great-great-great-grand-uncle.
