Have you ever wanted, as a guitarist, to fully understand music theory and harmony? To quickly navigate the fretboard and improvise meaningful and well-phrased solos that you are truly proud of? Do you wish you could clearly see what this incredible instrument has to offer, to YOU!
My name is Guillaume Metz, a k a Will Metz, I'm a professional guitarist, college professor, and published author, and it is my personal mission to help every guitarist achieve their goals on the instrument.

Hi, Will. Will you ever write the third music theory book that you said your would, and if so, when? I find your videos to be painfully slow and verbose. For those with less experience, they can always slow down your videos. I want your previously mentioned third theory book mentioned in your second theory book and hope that you haven't abandoned the writing of it. If you don't intend to write that book, and want to try to make more money using YT, please let those of us who think as I do whether you will continue to attempt making money on YT, or if you really intend to write that third theory book. Thanks.
Dude, you are life-saver!
Thank you!
Hi, Will. Thanks for the videos. Are you currently working on your third music theory book specifically written for guitarists, and do you know about when it will be released?

Great lesson
When will your new guitar book be available?

No guitar book in the works right now, I’m focusing on teaching in my academy:)

Thank you for the comprehensive breakdown. I purchased your two theory books on Amazon. Look forward to reading both
Awesome, thank you!
You’re so good at teaching. Just subscribed. Thanks for your time, effort, and support!
Thank you!
So Good !!!👊 Your Caged system lessons are the best on KZread by Far !!!! Kudos to you- Will.
You are are doing quite good. YOu‘re explanations are detailed and well explained! Thank you
Wow! Will you're such a blessing and an amazing teacher. Please how do I get the document associated with this video?
There are so many people selling so many music courses that it’s easy to be cynical. After a lot of hand wringing, I enrolled in Guillaume’s academy and it’s beyond great. Less than a month in and I feel like I got a year of music school. The main thing is that he teaches you how to practice all those things that you “pretty much” know but somehow they never translate into playing with confidence and freedom. Will is a world class teacher and one of the most generous people you’ll ever know.
Thank's to this video! I can play like a master pro now.
Protect this man with all costs
Haha thanks!
I am only at minute 24, but I must already stop to comment that Guillaume is explaining this beautifully. :)
Hi Will, I just stumbled onto your channel and I am _loving_ all your content. I just ordered volume 1 of your book set also. 1 point though, the link above to the documents related to this video appears to be broken - I'm getting a 404.
Thanks for letting me know!
Definitely one of the best teachers on yt ! Thank you for sharing such useful knowledge with us!
Thank you!
This is by far the best lesson on the CAGED system!!! Unlike other lessons that only discuss the CAGED shapes , This lesson starts with the foundation. It covers how the guitar is tuned and how chords are created, how the Major & minor 3rd work, how the B string impact chord/scale shapes. The part about the sister/symmetrical shapes is an eye opener and makes complete sense as to finding the roots on the E, A & D string. You don’t need any other CAGED lesson after watching this. Just a brilliant way of teaching and making sense of everything. Guillaume, vous êtes un trésor!
Thank you SO MUCH!! And for the super thanks. It means the world to get comments like this and it pushed me to keep going.
@@willmetz_music Your explanation of how chords are formed with roots on the A & D string gives us great foundation for understanding the chord shape and how it relates to the B string
@@beyondshelterrealestate2991 you should join the academy! Visit my website for more info
Hey man! I have that exact same shirt!
Haha!! What's the brand???
Thank you for putting up great content. I have been returning to your channel ever since I first stumbled upon it maybe a year ago. High quality, one of the best teachers
Thank you so much
I love the long format. Every other guitar channel I'm always thinking- play another example, explain more... On your channel I feel full of information at the end.
Thank you so much!
Alter the CAGED system in these ways. 1) Even though CAGED forms an easy-to-remember word, the guitar’s lowest note is E so it’s also EDCAG; 2) add in the b7 so it’s not just a triad of 1-3-5 but 4-note Dominant 7 chord that completes the harmony available within the octave (1-3-5-b7). Play over a one-chord Blues vamp of just E7. - Now here’s 5 shapes that start on just the DGBE STRINGS: 2130, 2434, 6757, 9797, 999-10, and finally 14-13-15-12 (where that pattern starts to repeat). - Now play those shapes again but this time with the low-E string droning under all of those shapes on the DGBE. - Do you hear how that is all E7 but used for playing all over the neck? That is how those shapes, and also the scales contained within those shapes, are connected together as a sort of pathway from the open position to the 12th fret. Try it and you’ll understand this explanation!
thank you so much Will you are a gifted teacher. I am an enthusiastic 76 yr old learner. i am learning so much, thank you for your generosity, God bless you, Billy Gebbie
This means a lot
I have been playing for 30 years and this has never made sense, until this video. Keep it up🎉
Man... Thank you! So glad to help.
7:45 video starts
10:50 I’m out... ✌🏼 Too much babble
It tests people's patience. A necessary quality for any type of success, anywhere in life.
Getting rid of time wasters and energy vampires. A necessary quality for success in every aspect of life. 🤟
This is really good coming up to intermediate level. The fret number would helpful at times, on the Box links etc.All the information in one place like this is very helpful, if you’re learning on your own without lessons
Propper! I love the detail and the walk through and the time stamps.... I dig it dawg! thank you!
I have a question about the example of the chord progression in Fmaj. How do i distinguish between Fmaj and Bfmaj or Gm? Thank you for the great content! /Emil
I guess I’m having trouble understanding the question. What do you mean how to distinguish them?
you talk too much
Awww…
WoW, I really enjoyed the entire lesson and didn't even look at the downloads yet. Having a Solid practice plan for me was missing. I found myself wanting to connect my chords to the Minor and Major Pentatonic scale so my mind could navigate the Fret Board. Then I wanted to practice this foot print and saw your lesson. Thanks a lot. I am not a CAGED system player. I find the difficulty of learning all of the nuances of creating a chord is rather frustrating. I am using triads along the entire fret board on the last 4 strings only within 1 fret for each to cover all major/minor/ 6 positions for all chord progressions. Anyway, it's way more simple for a beginner such as myself with the circle of fourths and fifths.. It was a reverse engineer approach of music theory. My question is what should be a reasonable goal for rythm. I think I heard 80 beats per second ? That sounds really awkward but it may be what it is....?? Thanks for any feedback Davis M.S.M.E.
Amazing lesson! Thank you again. Third time watching but keep growing on me one note at a time.
it's so smooth bro what
Thank you so much Guillaume
Thank you!
Tks for the great content and for making everything a lot easier to understand.
Thank you
WOW I never saw the left right aspect of the cage system wish I'd seen it sooner. Mind opener
Just purchased the book and excited to start reading!
Thank you!
The best lessons on youtube!
Thank you!
Really appreciate your long video thanks good buddy
Thank you for this strong theory .
Keep it up,your videos are glorious ✌️💪
Nice work, very thorough. The fast way to learn is to go slow. Slow makes it stick! 🥴
Absolutely a really great lesson! Many thanks, Will, you are an excellent guitarist who can teach crystal clearly.
