@@WesFanMan Yeah and if you play lefty with the strings upside down/righty left handed even worse. I have known at least 2 guitar players who play like Albert King, thin strings on top. Their Chord shapes were always tough to follow. One of the Guys had a left handed guitar strung this way, he let me play it, I just laughed HEY LOOK I am Jimi hendrix upside down lefty guitar, made me realize how tough it is playing with KNOBS under your Picking Arm. Some players can get used to this Weird stuff. I got all I can do to keep it Simple Stupid. LOL.

I've always wanted to learn guitar but never really knew where to start so I'm going to look at CAGED and just now I picked up a guitar and just started shredding this kick ass solo out of nowhere.

The first 50 seconds already helped me understand caged so much better than all the other times I've touched on it.

This video only scratches the surface. CAGED goes much more in depth if taught properly. Notice she only played major chord shapes….once you learn the shapes, you learn the inter in the chords so you can modify them. You learn the root, 3rd, and fifth. Then you can alter the chord. Major, minor, diminished, augmented, 7th chords. Its important to learn the intervals in the chord shapes, scale shapes, and arpeggios. This system, when used in depth and in conjunction with music theory, is the way to learn guitar. There’s an important part missing from these teachings and that is the lead patterns to move through the shapes. Theres two distinctive lead patterns that often get overlooked when people teach CAGED

Best ever CAGED explanation with easily understandable graphics. 😇

The CAGED system is not important at all. It can help you with understanding the fretboard, but so can the pentatonic scale and its five shapes, or any approach to learning. It's somewhat overstated, here and elsewhere;

I've been playing for 10 years and never learned theory. This is a great way to ease myself into it.

This course alone changed my guitar playing and elevated to a point where I can confidently say "I can play guitar" and not just strum a few chords. Thank you, Molly. From the bottom of my heart.

I’ve heard “CAGED” a million times, and understood what it meant - but I didn’t realize why the letters were in that order, and that they all connect! That opening diagram makes so much sense! I had memorized a few of the boxes for soloing in only a few keys, but this is very helpful.

@knotwilg3596

They are in this order because they create a mnemonic device. You could arrange them in a different order and still connect them. That's because they obviously share the same roots, thirds and fifths.

Dr. Molly that was an excellent teaching about the CAGED system I invented. Please, let me explain. Before all the good guitar teaching was available on the internet I was struggling to figure out (on my own, no teacher or videos or books) how to play more than just the basic open chords I new. I knew about being able to use the E form to make other chords as I moved it along the neck. So it made me wonder if other chords were also 'moveable.' So, on my own, I discovered that the C, A, G and D chords were also moveable. I think the order in which I discovered them was E, A, D, C and G. I tried to think of a word those letters would spell so it would help me remember them and so I invented C-A-G-E-D. Now here is the funny part. I did not know this system already existed! So as far as I knew I was the only person in the world who knew it! It was like I had discovered the Grand Canyon thinking I was the only person who had ever seen it. I thought to myself - I have got to share this with the world! Of couse, later on I learned that it was nothing new. I was disappointed but in a way I did invent it - at least for myself! You might say I was a co-inventor of the CAGED system and the others did so unknown to me and before my time.

Just learn bass... you can transfer what you learn on the bass to the guitar and extend it. I started teaching my self bass September 2023, spent a lot of hours, and joined a semester on a music school to learn music theory and more about modes, and that helped me level up on guitar, even though i have parked my guitar 10 years before i recently bought 2 guitars and my level up happened some days ago, my teacher from the semester taught me some valuable music theory which was as if he gave me these keys to a lot of the boxes in my head that has been marked with question mark because i didn't understand the theory behind it until i learned it. Never read notes either, but now i can read basic notes too. The only scale/mode i knew on guitar before was blues scale and now i know dorian, ionian, locrian, pentatonic , mixolydian, bass, and 1 kinda advanced beepop scale that only works on shift and only if you time it right. :) This what you say in this video is probably a very good tool for alot of beginners, but i rather this to a beginner, in order to make it easier for your self, do the dry stuff first, print out a sheet of a neck, start with the E string, and learn where the notes are on the neck, and how B always right next to C, same goes for E always followed by F. In norway they dont have Bb, but they have H... this is so confusing so i stick to Bb and B and here is a fun fact Bsharp and C.... the same ptich, and that means its also the exact same tone, so for me, B sharp doesnt excist!

I've never seen or noticed this about these chords. Great stuff

My nine-year-old daughter can somehow learn any instrument or any music concept with little effort. The only thing needed is interest. She’s been taking vocal lessons since she’s four and performing live as well. Somehow, she has no interest in her dad‘s main instrument, guitar. Having a strong female role model for young girls, like yourself, is so refreshing and inspiring that I set an Alexa reminder for “guitar lessons with dad” tomorrow with a reward of 30 minutes of Roblox or KZread. I’m going to print out a couple of chord shapes and…guitars in hand…watch your video. I’ll give her the remote, let her pause and ask questions, and see where it goes. Thank you for inspiring me.
