  • I think EDCAG-7; all Dominant 7 chords and start on E just like the guitar. I associate those 5 chords to Mixolydian + the Blues scale: 1-2-b3/3-4-b5-5-6-b7. Even b2/b6/7 can be used chromatically. Only ever go from b3 up to 3, into a Dominant 7 chord tone.

  • when using the CAGED system, do you only play the pentatonic scales within it? can you play the major scale for example?

  • Tell me if im understand this correctly
    So say a song is in the key of A but
    The chord progression has an E and a G do i play the E chord notes do i just do like E chord in an A shape and
    G chord A shape or fo i misunderstanding

  • Hey man. This is really helpful. Just wanted to ask this question. I understand how the three notes of a triad can be found in the CAGED shapes across the neck. But in the context of soloing over chord changes by playing the pentatonic scale (or major scale), and highlighting chord tones as you go via the memorised CAGED shapes, is there a fast way to know where your fingers need to go to play this same CAGED pattern but for the next chord of a different degree (say the V chord instead of the I)?
    Like, if you were playing in G major and playing G in the E major shape and then go to a D chord and you have to quickly work out what chord shape to play that will suit the new chord within the same fret range that you've been playing in, is there a way to know what chord shape should be used for the next chord (say a V chord; D) quickly without having memorised it beforehand? (Maybe by using the circle of fifths? I don't know)

  • Thanks, Marco!
    Learning the pentatonic shapes associated with the CAGED shapes has really advanced my playing, my confidence, and my ability to improvise!
    Such freedom! I didn't know I'd ever get here!
    It also makes learning new songs SO MUCH quicker & easier!
    It's like i know how to play everything quicker.

  • Bro! ????The pin finally drop for me! You just taking a key, creating chord progression, and kinda matching a scale in the same key and playing and wandering from one pattern of scale to another…. it finally clicked for me. Cool!

    I'm gonna have to re-watch this… a lot!

  • I think a good opportunity was missed by not explicitly referring to those all-familiar pentatonic boxes we all know and curse. You used them and mentioned them….

  • Very informative.. well explained.. thank you very much for sharing.. hope you could make more videos like this ????????

  • Is it possible you could make a quick video of you making the backing track to play over? I just seem to strum the chords and they never sound like those I find in videos such as yours. Are you strumming the major 7 chord or plucking the strings all together to get a different sound ?

  • You explain the CAGED system so well, making it understandable.Your videos are all great, easy to follow and inspiring for a perpetual novice like me????????

  • I am having trouble understanding this CAGED system. I've internalized the entire fretboard and know each note on the fret board. There is a tutorial on YT that shows you one shape and from that shape you can play any mode (major, Dorian, minor, lydion, etc…) In any key. With a little bit of music theory, I can also, figure out all the scales and chords that belong to that scale.

    So, now if I want to play say a Dorian scale in the key of F. I use the shape to find the notes. With a small understanding of music theory, I can figure out the chords that belong to that scale in the key of F. Then I just make my own melodies over chord progressions.

    For me the ???? moment was when I internalized the fret board. After that my guitar playing was exponentially better. I highly recommend everyone learn their fretboard. CAGED system seems to be popular and sounds good. However, once you know how scales and chords are constructed. At that point does the CAGED system even matter? Would it be more beneficial to learn the foundations of music theory of how chords and scales are constructed?

  • i love really your video, just ine thing i hope you will do it next time. is to rotate the picture of the scales 180 degree to match the side of the guitar you pick
