Truth on the “CAGED” Chord System for Learning Guitar and AMA Fest Highlights.
Here’s my take on the always controversial CAGED System. The bottom line is.. IT WORKS! It’s the frame work of the instrument from the ground up and is in no way limiting.
I started with a super fun chord progression to solo over. “Blame It On The Sun” changes by Stevie Wonder.
More on that to come next week!
Americana Fest video highlights at the end –
Taj Mahal
Nikki Lane
Hank Williams Jr with Dan Auerbach

You demonstrate things too fast, Guthrie
How does work when you're playing that jazz extended chord swing stuff?
Apparently Tomo dislikes the CAGED system. I disagree. Its helping my students understand the fretboard better
"Sorry for the sloppy playing". Lol. My brain could only dream of thinking that quickly. Can I have some of your coffee, please? Gpod show as always, Guthrie
"The I-beams of the building," no doubt! Perfect analogy!
Thank you!
i am lost , lol
12:56 pure charlie parker????
“If you learn it you’ll know it”. Well, that’s a bit of a platitude, isn’t it? I don’t know why everybody feels the urge of repeating the obvious. Instead, very few people focus on HOW to approach studying, which is more important than WHAT to study.
Guthrie is a motherf*cker and I mean that in the kindest and most complimentary of ways
That first band video
I think I saw the guitarist for Shannon McNally playin bass
No?
In my opinion, "caged system" is misleading. This is not a system. It's the way music is played on guitar.
Kerry Too Smooth's ear are burning. The "CAGED system sounds vanilla" guy.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Is there a caged system for mandolin ?
Somebody else: CAGED is limiting.
Guthrie: Hold my beer…
Your teaching style is fantastic. Also, great to get advice from someone that plays so damn good!
Flat out best guitar player on the planet to my ears and such a genuine and humble dude. I've met a few music "stars" who were unpleasant but Guthrie is always giving off good vibes. Thanks for putting out your magic for all of us to enjoy!

There are scammers on here. Message me @ is a scam.
Please check replies…Someone seems to be pitching a bogus guitar giveaway?
Guthrie Govan recommends the caged system that's good enough for me
How could it possibly be "limiting" to know all the chords in all the shapes at every point of the freeboard as well as the major and minor scales for each chord in each shape?
I've noticed when people "don't buy into caged" they usually show you their system which just happens to be a different version of the caged & they just don't realize it because they were taught it by a different name
Caged is great. like u said its a foundational thing for getting diatonic harmony and melody under your fingers on the guitar. Whats not to like about it?????♂️
Nice to see Hank junior at the end at AMA. Nashville rules alright.
Could you slow down please ????? Awesome lesson…what pick do you use Guthrie please ? Cheers from a French fan ????????????????
That opening progression is quite moving, and beautifully played.
Guthrie, if you do read these comments the most difficult part I find to follow is the menu just say something like “in here is playing in A7 chord“ and just noodling out the notes to what sounds like a really nice solo. I understand the cage positions but can’t really comprehend without seeing some type of tab for what you’re playing or explaining what you’re doing.
For me there is the cage system and the modes and learning arpeggios in the caged system helps you visualise the modes better!
That pic w/ you and Kingfish…2 legends.
Another killer lesson and inspiration!
Wow! wish my playing was as sloppy as yours. Great video and I like the caged system also
Well done GT. Tim Lerch has a truly wonderful articulate explanation of this very issue that I think walks the line of compromise and simultaneously explains why the CAGED system is so effective, but where it might become confusing or misleading
Awesome lesson Guthrie, you’re one hell of a guitar player
The world is a better place when people can disagree and peacefully express their position on an issue. I wish the CAGED debate was a case study for expressing views on other topics. Learning is an individual experience, CAGED works for some but not all. The rallying point is that we all want to improve our skills and abilities. If CAGED doesn't work for some folks, let them make videos on their point of view. The collective gets better with more and different types of help. Regardless, I am grateful to GT and this forum for helping me improve – and have fun doing it.
Dig your take on CAGED. You always give some great nuggets. Wish I had YouTube when i was first dying to learn how to play? I’m kind of stuck with a Swiss Cheese, filling in the many holes in my playing approach!
Foundational system of tying the guitar together is what I’m working on. Practicing Triads, memorizing and Learning the Notes on the fingerboard has opened up a lot. Tying it together with chords, arpeggios and scales is next.
It’s really fun when connections happen and older pieces of knowledge fall into place!
U r awesome! God bless!
