I was gonna say that. All video guitar lessons should be done this way. Patent and sell this system! Like with sports on TV now you have the strike zone box, the first down line in yellow, etc. It's better than being there! But being there is still important.

You ever feel like you’ve been in the dark for years, and then someone comes along and leads you out of it in just a few minutes? That’s how I feel right now about this teacher.

CAGED is taught so incredibly succinctly here, it's phenomenal. Everything from how clear his instructions are, to the concepts he shares, to the meter of his voice. It's uber focusing & I'm shocked this guy doesn't have more subs.

In my guitar playing journey, I was just beginning to feel like I was stuck by lack of understanding of how the fretboard truly works- and I found this video and wow. I get it now.

That's why I've signed onto your Patreon Page ... there's that special "something" you bring to explaining concepts of the music subjects that is satisfyingly clear! At the end of a lesson I know what you were teaching is now in my mental inventory/storage ... Your site is a keeper and thanks for making studying and playing, inspirational and crystal clear!

Yeah it helps, but scales will help you a little more to unlock that fret board. Start with minor pentatonic learn the 5 shapes and then learn it in major, and then learn the blues scale and the full major and minor scale. You can use your top 2 strings, your E and A as "airports" to play in any key and quickly get into any position. For example you are playing in key of G and you want to start your minor scale, you'd simple go down to your G note on your A strong and start Shape 4 with your root note and continue your shapes.

The CAGED system is one of those things every single KZread guitarist mentions but never goes into any detail other than it's a beginner thing. THANK YOU SO MUCH! It bothers me so much it's easier to learn music theory than it is to learn fretboard layout from people. Just looking at your PDF it all makes sense because you can also see the chord inversions in the layout as well.

This might be the best caged explanation and demonstration I’ve ever seen or heard. I had to white knuckle learning notes and how chord positions changed. I took lessons from about 11-13 and mainly learned basic chords, some scales, some riffs, some songs, but never was taught proper recognition of the neck. Once I started just practicing on my own it became kind of a natural step as I realized I could play essentially the same thing in different placement. Id recommend this video to anyone learning even if you have an instructor

Christ. In my spare time I've been singing and strumming rhythm guitar, finger picking, and even doing the occasional solo from rote memorization, for nearly 30 years. Sat in and did some vocals with the odd band here and there, did some open mics etc... Most people think I know how to "play guitar", but I always felt like a fraud next to lead players. I've never had one of them, any other player, or even several teachers, effectively lay out what the hell they're doing to just whip out an improvised solo. I finally chalked it up to something I'd just never "get". ONE fucking 18 minute video, and 3 decades of banging away finally make sense. I don't know whether to be happy I finally get it, or pissed at how simple it is and how inept everyone else is at explaining it. Both I guess. Well done sir!

@@oswaldogarcia5358 yeah, for me, none of this information was new, but it never really coalesced into a usable whole before. Between this and his pentatonic scale video, everything finally came together for me. I knew the scales, knew the chord shapes, knew the neck etc... But it just never gelled together on how they all interact with each other. The way he connected the interrelated bits of theory, with the on-screen graphics, is great. I've had all the physical skills to do pretty much anything I want on the guitar, from flat picking, strumming, to complex finger picking, and could play a thousand songs from Alabama to Led Zeppelin. With the caveat, that I had to know the song, and/or have the TABS. I couldn't just take a random 12 bars blues song and start playing fills along with it. Now I'm no BB or Clapton, but just after a couple days of seeing this video, I can grab any random backing track on youtube and start playing along with it. Something I'd given up on ever being able to do years ago.

Within a week of watching this video about 20-30 times a day, playing every minute of the day, (because I got so hooked on this video) I can now solo…by myself comfortably.

So I thank this guy, because I lost hope and put all my guitars in their cases and let them collect dust until now. NOW I’m better than I’ve ever been, and it feels great dude. Thank you.

Ive looked at many different CAGED videos in the past over the last probably 3 years and this is the FIRST video that really stuck/clicked for me. You do such a fantastic job of simplifying the system down to a how to actually use it as a beginner and build upon it as you go.

I know CAGED is just as basic as a multiplication table in math (it's just out there that everyone can observe physically) , but it's fairly hard to find someone who can make a video that has a SUPER-DUPER CLEAR explanation in the entire world. The thing is that you use a systematic and organized method to visualise the fingerboard like this, which incredibly insane. This should be in the patron video for those membership. Much appreciated again.

I feel like Neo when he sees the matrix for the first time. 20 years I been playing and this one video changes everything. Tis a gift!

Isn't it amazing and from a Kid!!! Not that he is a kid, I am an old man, I use my college Photo so my old friends know who they are talking to, Some people need to understand concepts because a shape just doesn't go far enough!!!! We need a deeper understanding to make music!!! This guy is going to change the world of teaching music!!

This is not just the best CAGED video I've seen, but also just the best guitar theory video too. Guy gets straight to the point, no bs, no "you're going to become a metal Jesus in 2 weeks", and lays everything out like I'm 5

Been playing for 20 years, hands down best explanation for complete understanding of guitar theory. It’s all right here in 20 minutes! 🎉

thank you so much, i've been playing for the past 4 months and just started learning the pentatonic scales. this has been so helpful in understanding everything, cant wait to start practicing again !

Honestly this is the best guitar lesson i had in 13 years.

Where in the heck did this guy come from? I subscribe to Paul David's, Art of Guitar, Guitar Zoom with Steve Stines, YourGuitarSage with eric Andrea's, and some kid from England that wears glasses he got from Sir Elton John... and in this one video he does a better job explaining CAGED system better than any of these youtube heavy weights. First video I've watched but I'm amazed. Fantastic job. Particularly in how deep it goes (which scales fit over which chords) and how concise it is. I can't wait to see more but I had to applaud this one.

As many other comments have said, this video is what finally clicked for me!!! I've been playing for 10+ years and have always been confused and scared to improvise. I knew the G shape from day 1 but I can't believe no one ever told me about the other shapes!!!

Wow!! I’m blown away at ur gift of explaining complicated things into DOABLE !! I’ve heard about this system & am so thankful for ur video easing us into it with such clarity. Teaching music is definitely UR GIFT !! God bless

How did this man explain it so good when so many others have failed

Excellent visuals... showing a stationary fretboard with “active” fingering markers.

you explained it SO MUCH BETTER than anyone else. The graphics help immensely. THANK YOU.

@@zootsoot2006 You get it. They are placed the same place on the neck😊 The pentatonic scales are formed aroud these CAGED-shapes. The same goes for the diatonic scale etc. So, you initially use the scales to play your solos in key, and later on you use the CAGED-forms to target the specific chords in the underlying melody when playing your solos. Chord-targeting gives you solos a “better” sound, compared to merely playing in key. Anyway, you use CAGED for chord tone targeting in your solos 😊

Thank you for so elegantly but simply defining what this is. 20 years of guitar and I've never had someone explain this to me so well. I can tell this will push me to a new level and I'm still only halfway through the video.

I've seen and read a lot about CAGED, but nothing made the relationship clear like the diagram of the fret board that shows up 15 seconds into this video. I suddenly understood why it's called CAGED, and how all of the shapes relate to each other. The constant camera on the fret board, the note diagrams, and the ghost hand are all brilliant. Excellent lesson. I'm subscribed!

@@cassanateli i mean think about man, most professionals dont even know simple chords and riffs. Everyone learns in the own way/style, iv seen many videos of kirk hammett struggling to play a simple ass riffs but then bust out a mean ass fucking solo.Everyone is different. Im a skateboarder so i like to think of guitar like SkateBoarding, everyone has there own style/steez and there own tricks/licks. Some people can pickup the really hard riffs quick but then sit there to struggle to play a simple G or C chord. Like in skateboarding some pros can literally bust out a 540 tre-flip down a 20 set of stairs but then not even be able to a simple kickflip. Thats why i love SkateBoarding/surfing/skimboarding and guitar, you have your style, your own flow, your own take on tricks/your own way of doing them. I play a left handed guitar and im left handed,which already makes me different from the crowd.
