so eye-opening - thank you. Never thought about the fact that the different shapes in CAGED have a consistent pattern for moving from root -> 3rd -> 5th
Thank you so very much for taking the time to help. Those of us who are struggling and confused to break through The Matrix. And truly plug in.I appreciate you very much.. I'm learning more now from you than I have by myself in 20 years. Thanks again for your compassion and humility within true heart .to help people enjoy their true passion..
almost gave up on learning guitar cause i could never figure out notes, especially the caged system. your videos are a blessing. thank you thank you thank you
Thanks man. First video I have came across that explains how it works outside of just the c voice chord down the neck. You summed up my confusion. Thank you
This was an excellent presentation. It helped me understand the concept more deeply. I loved when you sequenced through the chords rapidly so that the shapes moving up the fretboard. I first noticed it with what I call the “arrow” of the D shape and then was able to transfer it to the other shapes. Really good.
Excellent video! Thank you for the explanation on how the notes are arranged on the fretboard and all the other details..There’s nothing like this out on the internet
Great to help my visual learning brain on the specifics of gutair sounds XD Cause I can't pick out notes too well, this makes it way easier to start experimenting and finding my sound, because I can easily visually see what goes good together
I'm learning on a guitar course and working around Barre chords and Triads, waching this I had that illuminating moment ! barre chords are just chords further along the fret board and my index finger the top nut being moved like a Capo, it,s just different fingers tomake a chord !!
I wrote an unpublished book on CAGED. In it, I gave an additional, an alternative, way of looking at chords: moving across the fretboard in ascending 4ths, staying in one position for the set of five chords: E, A, D, G, and C. You can shift up the fretboard with this pattern, one fret at a time, sharping each chord in the set and making them bar chords. The pattern will of course repeat. You can derive CAGED from this process, although it is an indirect method. Some classical players use the terms 1st chord form, 2nd chord form. More rarely, some players will use the terms 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th forms for E, A, D, G, and C. Also, I eventually decided it was more productive to view CAGED as being tonic or root octave shapes, not chords.
Good video! One correction: the actual reason the notes are laid out the way they are on the fretboard is because we have four fingers. If they had done three chromatic notes per string, it would be less efficient, and if we did more than five, our fingers wouldn't reach.
If you haven't already, I think one thing that can be very beneficial would be showing modes in the middle with one branch being cords another branch being melodies and another branch being soloing. Or you get the idea, I'm sure you could find a better way to organize that.
Very cool. Great graphics and smooth explanation. I understand the theory behind CAGED on the guitar, I just need to internalize it more. I got to your channel from another video of yours about the notes on a piano. It’s interesting to see chord shapes on the piano. Thanks.
Thanks. An excellent presentation and clear graphics for anyone who already knows what you're talking about. Way too fast for someone who doesn't. I'll come back and go through it again (and again) when I've caught my breath! (Does he breathe?)
The fretboard labels you are selling doesn't have the labels like A, C, G etc l, only colors unlike those in the video. Why? Is it possible to add the letters? Thank you.
Idk what I’m doing wrong. I cannot bar at all. Like the at least 2 string lift off of the neck and get muted in the bend of my index finger. Is there another way to bar?
Hi, Michael. I use these color labels on my fretboard, which help a lot. You'll find a link to my shop in the video notes. And tons of resources (diagrams, lessons, videos, etc.) in the community. A link to that is also in the notes. Cheers!
I am now comfuse😢 because I thought a c major has only 3 notes but the your presentation seem complicated and doesn't show the 135 in c major. I dont know maybe I just didn't get it😢.
Yes, imagine the open minor shape… say an e minor. That’s one shape. Another is the minor barre chord starting on the fifth string. That’s another minor shape. The other is the open d minor shape. Those are all “caged shapes”. It would be E minor, a minor, d minor shapes.
Also it’s so interesting how the colours made me realise that the first five are the pentatonic major basically 1 5 2 6 3. Never would have figured out without ur colour theory + music ! Keep it coming !!
WRONG CHORD ALERT: At 4:45, the D shaped C chord; in the diagram the C on 4th string is highlighted, but not used while playing. If such is the case, then how is it related to the CAGED system? why is it highlighted? If it is to be used then finger positions would be different & is such a position suggested or of any use (a better position would be a full bar at 12th fret n use E of 4th & c of 5th String)? All in all the diagram & finger positions are different.
The idea to post such comments is to find the right solution. English is not my first language & plz do not take any thing as an insult or negative - a humble request. If u feel negative then plz let me know and I will delete my comments.
Wow. What orientation is the guitar and your hand in. This is the most confusing thing I've ever viewed, and I already play guitar. Okay. Now I see your arm. I was so disoriented. 😂
Nah, he’s right-handed. You’re just looking at the fretboard as if you were holding a guitar and looking down at it (or if you were reading a guitar tab).
CAGED is a pretty useless system....basically it will show you where one chord is on the entire neck....if you solo with this in a standard song you'll basically be doing one major arpeggio all over the neck....I'd say that makes for a very boring solo!

This is easily the best caged chord system explanation out there. The images were super helpful. This video deserves way more likes.
dude i can't believe you have 3k likes, this is the most complete and accessible class i've seen. i've been searching for years for a good explanation
Man that was the information I've been looking for like my entire guitar playing life..... Thanks. I'll be watching this over and over for a bit
nobody is making videos like this and all of this is free, amazing !!

wow. I finally get it, thank you. 🙏🏽✨

Clear Explanation, and easy to follow, thanks for your continues sharing of Music Theories. The graphical explanations are awesome.

Your teaching style helped me breakthrough with my learning. Thank you so much!
Essa foi a melhor aula sobre o assunto que eu ja vi. Parabéns amigo
This video really helped me work out what i have been struggling with. Thank you so much
Very well edxplained and very focus. Thank you.
Priceless 👏🏾🧏🏾♂️

YOU ARE THE F’N MAN BROTHA
Thanks for the great tutorial.. really loved the graphical positions you have provided

Great video for guitar to know chord rotation technique.
If you haven't already, I think one thing that can be very beneficial would be showing modes in the middle with one branch being cords another branch being melodies and another branch being soloing. Or you get the idea, I'm sure you could find a better way to organize that.
Fabulous! I spent weeks on this, tho your explanation is the first *UNDERSTANDING re guitar- or any instrument. SUBBD
You earned a subscriber
Great presentation!
Я только начинаю играть на гитаре. Не понял ни одного слова. Но рисунки дали много полезной информации. Спасибо.
Brilliant
Great video - thank you from an aging guitarist

Way too fast for someone who doesn't.
I'll come back and go through it again (and again) when I've caught my breath!
(Does he breathe?)
And, when you use the caged system to find scales along the fretboard and mix with arpeggios, the magic happens!
Great explanation! Thanx!
Ty !!
had the same idea about colors.. thx!
how did you determine which colors to assign to the frequencies?
Good stuff, thanks
Very useful !!!
The fretboard labels you are selling doesn't have the labels like A, C, G etc l, only colors unlike those in the video. Why? Is it possible to add the letters? Thank you.
There should be examples on how to use in practice caged shapes to make chord progressions
Dude, I am jealous of your hair. You have amazing flow.
Where has this guy been for the last 50 years!!???😅
❤ major
hi, mike..learning from you is a great guidance.best wishes/
What determines the 'capo' position?
Nice! Thanks! :)
How much are your guitar classes???!
Idk what I’m doing wrong. I cannot bar at all. Like the at least 2 string lift off of the neck and get muted in the bend of my index finger. Is there another way to bar?
Should I put colored stickers on the fretboard and where can I buy them?
Hi, Michael. I use these color labels on my fretboard, which help a lot. You'll find a link to my shop in the video notes. And tons of resources (diagrams, lessons, videos, etc.) in the community. A link to that is also in the notes. Cheers!
Fantastic Video you could make more like this or I could watch this one 18x over lol
It says down load free pdf here then it sends you to a pay site???
EDCAG makes more sense because the guitar’s lowest note is E on 2 strings.
CAGED just happens to make a word that’s easy to remember.
Ah! And now I can see that it goes backwards through the alphabet! (skipping B and F, of course, because they don’t have their own shapes). Thank you!
I bet you'd sell a few pre-labeled guitars
You should hold guitar like if you playing it. I’m left handed so i can’t use the mirror image
I am now comfuse😢 because I thought a c major has only 3 notes but the your presentation seem complicated and doesn't show the 135 in c major. I dont know maybe I just didn't get it😢.
Great explanation, those this method also work for other chords or extensions of chords?
Yes, imagine the open minor shape… say an e minor. That’s one shape. Another is the minor barre chord starting on the fifth string. That’s another minor shape. The other is the open d minor shape. Those are all “caged shapes”. It would be E minor, a minor, d minor shapes.
7:35
I’m still very confused. How can I totally understand this CAGED system? By watching the video thousand times Lol😊
5:20 on this video. Learn the C, A, G, E and D major chords first. Then you'll get it. 😊
Keep watching it’ll come
Em, Am and G chords. Learn those and you’ll make up your own tunes.
This is my 4th time here. I’m still confused. But I can say this is the best video on it on YT.
I did a 10 week course (1 hour a week) on CAGED and have worked on it and learned it. Check out GMM 10 week fretboard Course. It is a revelation.
Hey Mike was wondering why some of the alphabets are in circles n some in squares? Is there a significance ?
Also it’s so interesting how the colours made me realise that the first five are the pentatonic major basically 1 5 2 6 3. Never would have figured out without ur colour theory + music ! Keep it coming !!
@@fox_exley-jarvis first 5 what?
WRONG CHORD ALERT: At 4:45, the D shaped C chord; in the diagram the C on 4th string is highlighted, but not used while playing. If such is the case, then how is it related to the CAGED system? why is it highlighted?

All in all the diagram & finger positions are different.
Can I ask where you got these stickers from? Great idea
He sells the stickers on his website. You can also find similar ones (but not exactly the same) online.
WRONG CHORD ALERT: At 03:43 the C major Chord in G Shape is wrong (the fingers are placed at wrong notes. May be you’d like to correct it. TIA.
Good lesson but if flipped 180 along with the diagram if would be so much easier to follow you. Tradition is again wrong!
To be honest, I didn't catch that trout. My buddy jumped into the water and scooped it up with a net when it broke away from my hook
Seriously? The only way to get the PDF is to become a Supporter for $70 annually? What am I missing? I just met you!

5:20 I got it 🖐️👍
totally schooled
Way too fast for me to digest! And I know the CAGED system (supposedly)
"organic capo".
ouch... he's a lefty... everything is upside down!
Nah, he’s right-handed. You’re just looking at the fretboard as if you were holding a guitar and looking down at it (or if you were reading a guitar tab).
I think you are a really good teacher but i know that you need to make money but not every one has some spar money to invest in creaters
You Guitar is upside down so is the chart. Makes it actually more difficult
Come on now...
You are traveling too fast
CAGED is a pretty useless system....basically it will show you where one chord is on the entire neck....if you solo with this in a standard song you'll basically be doing one major arpeggio all over the neck....I'd say that makes for a very boring solo!
