  • Listening to ur heart is much easier than this root 3rd 5th, chord tone, scale calculation. It's music not maths algebra

  • I must have low guitar I.Q. No matter how many vids I see or articles I read, CAGED is just not clicking for me.

  • He's such a great player all the life he puts into his notes, and he has real personality, really wouldn't care what he"s.playing, it will be a lot of fun watching him put it all across

  • Quick question for the group here lol. Would it make sense then to memorize the Root, third, and fifth locations for all 5 pentatonic shapes? Is that the right way to start this journey?

  • If I’m not mistaken; you’re using the caged system for various chord inversions to help lead the way to soloing into the next chord? I believe that is what you were doing. I get the modes are in there based on the scale degrees, and seeing where they are at in relation to the chord you’re using or going to in the progression, but it also looks like you are creating a melody (be it whatever mode) using the degrees within that chords structure. So it looks like (to me) you’re using open g first position and then soloing through the various inversions of that chord down to the higher register of the neck, while using the root 3rd and 5th to target chord tones into the next and out of one into the other. So for example moving from G to C because G is the 5th of the chord C, therefore knowing it‘s degree within the g chord (wherever you’re at in the neck) makes it easier to transition to the other chord (in this case the C) because you now know you’re at the 5th note of the C chord and it will lead you to an inversion of that c chord from wherever you’re at in the neck based off of the G chord. That’s how I understood the video. I could be wrong lol.

  • I don’t know how you do it but I think your videos are so great because your delivery is on point like your not just talking to a camera. It’s like your talking directly to me. Well not me specifically but you know what I mean. Love the vids!

  • brett is really trying to help, but its more complicated to contemplate the caged shapes with seeing semi dim scales-pattern beneath it and imagining about what makes the melody, shit, its too much calculations.

  • Is anyone going to address the giant man sized leaves on the left side of the screen? or is he small like the size of squirrel?

  • I’m an idiot haha. Why does the f chord make it mixolydian? In key of g isn’t that a minor chord?

  • You make it sound easy and I wish I could see it but I’m lost. Do you have color by numbers option. I want to understand it and see it like you do but I just don’t. Help

  • I would add…Audibly vocalizing the degree( ie 4th 5th) that you are playing, so you always know where in the mode you are. By knowing the degree instead of pitch name in the shape, it easily transposes from key to key

  • I still didn't quite understand, when you target those notes to suit the chord change, does the scale mod also change or it still in g major mode?

  • Damn, so simple but you sound so good. Too much of a beginner to apply this but great to info regardless.

  • Not sure I understand this lesson. It sounds to me like you’re playing the Major Scale over each chord i.e. the relative approach to modes as opposed to highlighting the sound of each modes intervals… Is this correct?
