Hello friends,
And welcome to another lead guitar tutorial. In today’s session we will use our CAGED system to discover how each of our five pentatonic scale boxes can be used in both major and minor soloing. The basic concept is that a given major or minor chord can be played in five positions on the fretboard – C,A,G,E,D – surrounding each of these chord positions is both a major and minor pentatonic box. Each box can be played in two locations the fretboard, one major and the other minor. Let’s get started!

My understanding, from what Rob says here, is that these scales are used for soloing. Since I am a rhythm guitar player, I don't have a use for scales.
Any feedback here is appreciated.
Too many words, too fast, too much information for beginners trying to move to the next step. Thanks though.
it makes sense, but it took some effort. Before i thought of CAGED as five different shapes – rather than positions. And the shapes are usually considered in reference the the major cowboy chords. hence shapes. But this way here makes really sense once you think and rethink it and write it all down. thx – really a useful lesson.
Just a hint, your guitar makes it tough to see where your 12th fret marker is. For beginners it is really helpful to know exactly where you are. You makers all look the same.
I take the 5 CAGED Minor Pentatonic “boxes” and just add in 3. So it yields this: 1-b3/3-4-5-b7.
EXCELLENT VIDEO
Really good lesson. Great licks, and I luv the diagrams.
So helpful, thank you!
You know, it would be nice if people would be consistence about what they are calling 1st, 2nd, 3rd ,,,,, positions.I follow your logic though – you started with C position as1st position because it is the first position of the CAGED system. I guess it just depends on the teacher, as usual.
hopefully this is correct because i learned it and its now locked in lol now i just have to fig out what to do with them
Slow down
Very useful
I don't understand what makes all of this in the key of A minor. Can someone explain that to me?
This is a fantastic lesson. The only thing that confuses me a bit are the box numbers. Even thought I understand your logic behind it, usually I am used to the convencional box numbering system. But a great lesson nonetheless. Thank you a log. I am happy I become a patreon. Cheers from Brazil! I am 70 and still learning! Music is infinite!
Do you have a video where you discuss your guitar? I saw it in many vids. What kind of “335” is it?
Wow amazing you are the real master brother ????????
This is great, thank you.
How so you hold a 7 on a guitar using number system …can kindly make a video on number system
Can you please explain why the charts you're displaying in the upper right corner don't match what you're actually playing on the fretboard? This is very confusing for me.
Whoah! Five pentatonic boxes? What a coincidence! 😉
Hello friends, my name is Aldo, I'm from Indonesia. You play guitar with unlimited skills. Keep up the good work, friends.
would pattern 5 be the major to pattern 1?
What lesson was taught here? All I see is someone showing the box shapes. How to apply these to different keys other than A? Which shape goes with which pentatonic position?
If you having trouble…..flip your screen upside down
It helps
That's great
Same as do re mi fa so la si do
I am having a bit problem to understand which maj pentatonic corresponds to which min pentatonic. ..
At 14:41 in your video there doesn't seem to be a Caged System D-"SHAPE" in the image as shown for the A Minor Pentatonic Scale. Am I missing something . . . ? Please let me know, Thank you.
So what I got is that:
-follow/memorize the major pentatonic shapes
-correlate the shape by following dcage(3 frets back of minor) for major and caged for minor respectively
What I didn't get is how did he find out that fret 12 is where he would start for a minor pentatonic scale. The only thing I am aware is the famous g shape for major where the index is the marker for what you want to play i.e. a minor pentatonic starts on 5th fret low e and that it's also the c major penta g shape
Beautiful guitar, is that a Gibson Blues Hawk?
It's a bit fast but I get it and THANK YOU! Def helped! ???????? ???????? ???? ????????
Is it productive to practice on two different electric guitars
Thank you
Wouldnt it be d minor with f major for box 5? Just wonderin
OK, but I'm not putting my fingers on A minor, just wanna make it clear OK.
Why are the frett board pictures upside down
I love you lol
I’m having trouble memorizing the positions.
One thing I am not able to wrap my head around and would be helpful if some one can explain this. Take Box 1. I understand that it is the box in which A Major chord gets played in C Shape and there we find the A Minor pentatonic notes with the given fingering. What I do not understand is , when that fingering is moved 3 frets lower, why is it called "Major D Position"?
Thank yOu !!! You're good
Finally someone that can explain without getting confused and so well organized CAGED is the secret based on the key. The lights went on this time like a puzzle THANK YOU
I finally understood…Thanks a Million!!!
Successful Sir !
This is the only pentatoniv lesson that i understans ????
