[edwardfaherty]

you look far cooler with your hat on

[johnhguitar]

Actually I'm cooler with my hat off and warmed with it on.

caged system waste of fucking time

[coolioto]

What is the fucking caged system?????!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it just the system whereby a visual representation of the fret board is used to show finger choice and position for any chords?

[johnhguitar]

CAGED just means C major, Amaj, Gmaj, Emaj, Dmaj, chords and where to use them all over the fretboard dude.

[thefogster61]

@coolioto Here's my take.... These are the basic open major chord shapes. The open C chord has a certain shape. The open A chord has a certain shape, so does the open G chord, etc. The CAGED "system" just shows you how these shapes are all connected when they are played as inversions of the same chord. You can play a C chord as an A shape, a G shape, an E shape, and a D shape, and same goes for all other major chords. You can play them all using those different inversion shapes and they connect.

Why are not B And f included in the Caged system.?

[paulhb]

Because they aren't open chords.

[TarnishedMedia66]

A#,& B Follows The A Major Shape just Bar down a fret or two and F,& F# is The Same Shape as the E Chord

[regisfb]

because B use the same shape as C and F use the same shape as E but #, got it?

@ChevroletCaprice9C1

F is the E form at the first position.

B is the A form, 2nd position.

They are included, but as what they are - one of the CAGED forms in another position.

[thefogster61]

@ChevroletCaprice9C1 The B chord is usually played as an E shaped barre chord on fret 7 or as an A shaped barre chord on fret 2 (2nd string), and the F chord is normally played as an E shaped barre chord on fret 1, or as an A shaped barre chord on fret 8 (2nd string)... cos they ain't open chords.

[deefjohnholler]

all good on paper but beginners don't have the mechanical abilities or dexterity to play four finger chords or full barre chords.

[guitarninja83]

which is why they should be practicing them instead of using the im a beginner as an excuse to not learn anything

[TheJPfanboy]

thats not why i killed him tho...

[TarnishedMedia66]

don't think of it to be too hard its easier than you think i can understand going from one chord to another being hard but forming at least the open chords are very simple

[jpysir]

that self discovery comment is soo true. i just learned the major scale a year ago and it makes everything iv'e learned up till now make so much sense. that should b the first thing anyone learns, the major scale. my opinion of course

[thefrequencykenneth]

"Open chords are when you are incorporating strings that don't have fingers".

I'm not sure that was the best description.

[TezzRah]

[hawkpanther7]

[hermanshermits124124]

Gibson SG rocks

[WilliamBonneau]

First off great lesson, I knew it already but it was a good reminder, and I'm not questioning your knowledge, but...

I add the F note at first fret of the high e string on the F cord.

its a hard cord at first, I guess thats why they call it the F cord XD.

(I hope you get that joke)

[aryanaryanaryan]

very good..as allways

thanks

[Jazzguts]

Very good John taking your patience to explain the caged system and how to apply that,too much guitarists don't actualy know what they're doing and just neglect theory. Without understanding it will be like a Monkey learning a trick,Keep up your good work (5 stars from me).greetings Victor.
