CAGED system primer - Learning the Fretboard

[personaltip]

You lesson is great. The way you teach is even greater. You are a good teacher. Thanks for the video

[premiermusic]

@personaltip Thanks! :)

I've been playing guitar a long time but never really figured out a good way of finding notes quickly. This will help me no end, so thanks for posting this! I shall take a look at your other lessons. Sometimes it is good to go back to basics!

Great breakdown, I subbed. Very nice video, man.

[premiermusic]

@rich2rock Thanks man! I'm glad it was useful....

I've been doing some research on this CAGED system I'd really like to learn it but is frustrating .I have found that the teaching methods for children are way more effective. . I spent months trying to learn key signatures with no avail until I found one for kids and I finally cracked the code

[AbraXaDabra]

I was just tying to understand the "C" patterns. Aren't they the two finger harmonic patterns, like a Wes Montgomery style of doubling a note by adding it's higher harmonic ? Not that this is a issue, I was trying to figure this CAGED system, which I will, or have.

i.e. On the A string, fret 3, which is C, if you go up to the G string to 5th fret, also C, but a harmonic higher. I'll watch this a few times, bit confusing maybe once over, will look at your other Vids too, thanks.

Wish this guy would just get to the fucking point instead of babbling so much.

[everennui1]

Yeah. Where's your video!?

[mike23984]

I found learning my chord formulas learning the notes on the fretboard easier to learn than memorizing the "shape" patterns.

[zozoezo]

I understand 'what' the caged system is and i know the open chords, but it seems like everything is based around the 'root note'. I don't know what the root note is, or how i find it so it makes it kind of impossible to understand the rest. like learning how to walk but not knowing where your feet are.

I guess my question is

what is the root note?

[idhindsight]

The root note is the note for which the chord is named. Take for example the simple G triad:

-----5--

-----5--

--3-----

That 3rd fret there on the sixth string is a G, so it's a root note, and so is the fifth fret up on the third string 4th string.  Those are are both Gs and they're both roots. Make sense?

[lakajd]

@zozoezo root note.....the main note is what i would say it is.....c chord or c scale have a root note of c.......so there it is....

[Rhonester]

Its good for sweeps as well. Helps with pitch Axis. I'd like to see a video for minor CAGED tho.

[wkriski]

Very clear explanation. I use CAGED as a basic framework for teaching lead guitar.

[georgieporgie321]

CAGED is useful for breaking out of just using pentatonic shapeo and basic barre and open shapes, but I've found the seven 3 note per string major shapes useful for learning how to get up and down the neck more fluently.

[premiermusic]

Actually, the book I like the most is "Guitar Fretboard Workbook" by Barret Tagliarino. It is a very comprehensive way to learn your theory on the instrument and something that I use with all of my students with great success...

[biggugly0402]

just get FretBoard Logic by bill edwards

[GuitarGabriel]

I simplify all this now, CAGED are the chords SHAPES in which we move all over the neck in a sequence.

Very simple, students need to know how to play those open chords on the neck., then when they decide what key / Root they want to explore all they have to do for example is pick C., then fallow up the AGED in sequence connecting them up or down the neck., If a person decided to navigate using d then it will be shapes starting with D-CAGE, simple, each shapes connect to each other.

[GuitarGabriel]

No offense to anyone, but the way just about all the videos explain this CAGED system will confuse people, all the videos spend too much time describing open chords when taking a simple chart and showing them in other positions could visually solve 5 minutes of talking.

[Tomas9308]

thanks for the message !

[Tomas9308]

i meant any other ways it can be used ?? or other things to know about it ??

[Tomas9308]

thanks, any other things about learning on the cage4d system... this was really helpful even tough i feel there's a lot more to it

[mikecadett]

good video, man. you explained it well.

[lambofpaul]

this really makes sense, thanks alot

[domopartida]

wow...well done, makes sense and its fairly easy...thanks

[beatlesthe]

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!! I WANNA TRULY THANK YOU CUZ I'VE BEEN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THIS SYTEM ON THE INTERNET FOR LIKE 2 HOURS AND NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO EXPLAIN IT TO ME AS YOU DID... also I don't take lessons so...

[rogwall]

Very logical and helped great in knowing the fretboard quickly. Thank you sir...

[Andronicus88]

really good stuff. my guitar tutor was just getting on to teaching me this system but i hadn't really grasped it until now. cheers:-)

[nettoyeur1]

i would never want u as a teacher. all u do is talk

[amylovechild112889]

I'm sure he would listen if there was a HUMAN with him to ask questions you NEWB!

[eviltheory]

Nice video. That really helps.

[illmatic999]

this is excellent. I've been playing guitar for 6 years and never heard about this system. Thanks man!

[infernalgr]

great one man, can you do a part 2 for the same subject? more ways this can be used etc

[premiermusic]

Thanks! I'll actually be doing a bunck of lessons built off of this one...look for part 2 in the next couple of days...

[infernalgr]

Take a look at my videos, any suggestions on what would help me on my playing?

[premiermusic]

@infernalgr I missed this comment when it was originally posted but I have a lesson series in my online school that is in production right now that will expand on this quite a bit...
