question can you play those chords without barring them. for instance just play it in the shape of the of the chord it looks like. those seem impossible to do when you bar them.
@cleaningagent101 Because they actually aren't - they seem the same because of the more noticeable cluster of common notes between them than other adjacent chord shapes. For example, between A shape and G shape there are three common notes (on the D, G & B strings). The C and D shapes seem the same because of the more "noticeable" commonality of the G, B & E strings. In reality, the lowest 3 strings (in pitch) - E, A & D, must change, especially when utilizing all 6 strings (aka D/F# shape)
This was a super helpful video and it made caged a lot more clear. However, i do not get the not on the e string once you got to the d shape. They all made perfect sense until that. Can you help me with that at all? like, if i were to play that a half step down the fret board, would i use that note? im just a little confused. Thanks for the vid
I have purchased two videos, read 20 websites, watched dozens of You Tube Videos on the CAGED SYSTEM. Then I watched this 7 minute video and the light came on! Thanks!
@AmphisTheBand The shape of the F chord is the same shape as an E chord, only moved up 1 fret and you bar what would be the open strings with your first finger.
@AndreasHaugen You use your own mind and create ides and sounds, that come from your own love of music, theory is just a mere foundation to actual playing!
The note on the sixth string is not the root its the third of the chord. It is included for reference and helps in building scales and arpeggios across all the strings, not just the top four.
That's always the confusing part, two letters for one scale or chord. Yes, you can use any of the 5 shapes (C,A,G,E,and D) in the key of C and it covers the entire neck. Of course you can change keys and use the 5 shapes in other keys as well.
As a learner with no specific teacher what Ive ended up with its lots of unorganized info. Im starting to make sense of it, bt only after getting out a big jot pad and a pen and drawing the fretboard with notes, writing out scale notes and looking where they sit on the fretboard. I recently started to get my head round the 5 pentatonic shapes (though not fully) and was wondering if there is a correlation between those shapes (5) and the caged shapes (5). Id guess there is.
Still don't get it. :(

All of the shapes overlap, but I wouldn't call them the same.

why does no one ever point out that C and D are the same shape?

The C and D are the same shape? To me the are not the same shape at all, far from it.

so what if you have the F chord? how to find all shapes there?

why does the D shape have a root note on the low E string
SirLanceMan 2 years ago
The note on the sixth string is not the root its the third of the chord. It is included for reference and helps in building scales and arpeggios across all the strings, not just the top four.
