@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...

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?

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!

@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....

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

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.
