Has to be one of the best guitar lesson for intermediate players so much information in that 17 minutes and the course will take away years of frustation. Thanks so much Brett.
Yes. This is it. This is how to use the caged system and the arpeggios. There’s 8 or 9 chord shapes, across both octaves each position. I wish this was the first thing I’d learned. Thx.
Thanks Brett. This is very helpful. I bought one of your courses a few weeks ago. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your kind demeanor and encouraging lessons. I don't know why I struggle with caged but I'm getting there! Thanks to you sir.
SHAPES LOL.I learned all this on my own but it took longer. I've Been playing 40+ years. All this to me is confusing and your not supposed to think when you're playing guitar. Its feeling emotion: JIMI Hendrix Never knew SHAPES: BECAUSE the word "SHAPES" wasn't used in those days. I have no idea what notes are called which I am soloing ,,, but I know what chord the song is in. I can keep up with guys like Eric Clapton he doesn't lose me:and I've played with Buddy Guy and long as I hear the song in my head I can play it( 90% of the time)and knowing the root 1st then it all comes together very easily for me. I was fortunate enough to have worked & jammed w/ NUGENT: Buddy: Doyal Bramel ll. Talking with SRV being around better players always helps.
Understanding the scale patterns for each chord is gold, thanks for doing these videos. Going to have to get the lesson feel like I owe you. Thanks mate.
Great lesson, what's really amazing is when you not only see the chords in these shapes and scales but when you start to see there's only one note that needs to change to get to the next chord.
This is the epitome of melodic playing Brett. You have given the masses the secret key to opening the door to the inner sanctum of the relationship of scales and the chords hidden therein. Playing over the chords changes everything. Thank you master Yoda for taking us to the 10th dimension of guitar heaven, where everything that is possible or is imaginable has been revealed
WELCOME ...WELCOME...WELCOME... lol I love that intro. Cracks me up, everytime. My wife hears it a lot when I check out your videos. She finally said," Who is that guy that say's, "welcome-welcome-welcome"...you watch him a lot". Slam dunk!! I just got the "unleashed deal"
I like how u look at a major as position one ! .... my light came on when my son told me go back 3 frets on low e ( to f # ) from the traditional a minor position 1 .... then u simply land on the a as your “ root” to be in a major ..... it’s all about “ Intervals and basing stuff on chord shapes ..... then u have a pallet to be YOU !
Hey Bret! I already got your Unlocking Major Pantatonic Blues course where you explain this in depth and its got me to the stage where I can play over the changes after so many years wandering up and down the neck! You're the man and giving out this info on Caged for free puts you up there with the benefactors of humanity! Cheers form the Uk mate!
I have tried teaching this to numerous people over the years. Pretty much exactly what you have here. I am now just going to refer them to your video instead of me sitting down with them. At the end of the day, most people just don't put the work in. I always add to my students that they need to memorize every note on the 5th and 6th strings as those are mostly the root notes for building these chords.
I've been working hard on CAGED system stuff for a couple of weeks now and it's great to see different people's takes on it. Really enjoyed your playing and the way you were showing the shapes visually too. Thanks!
The clearest explanation of the CAGED system that I have heard/seen. Caged is awesome.Youre the best teacher Brett .Thanks ;Merci encore pour la super leçon sur le cadged .
Guitar playing is about shapes and patterns, and how they recur up and down the neck, in every position except when using open strings. Even then it's true as long as you consider the nut as a barre or a "zero fret." The principles are the same but because of the open strings, finger usage (or non-usage) is a bit of a curve ball. The CAGED System makes total sense but can be confusing when explained verbally. I think sometimes people see it as "paralysis by analysis," but by showing examples while describing how the chord shapes work, it becomes more easily understood. Well done! It really does unlock some doors to more creative playing.
Absolutely awesome brother!! In all the years of my playing, no guitar teacher ever revealed these concepts. They would teach us a bunch of complicated crap. This really opens the door to improvising melodically. Totally cool. Thanks 👍😎👍
You have explained this before and its an incredible video. Your explanation has gotten better, too. Would you consider doing a playlist of CAGED exercises to learn all the different shapes? I would watch ALL OF THEM
OMG the penny has just dropped for me, all those scales, voicing and arpeggios all fit nicely into place. I feel like I’ve just finished a really hard jigsaw puzzle 🧩 thank you 👊😎
Gone were the days when talented guitarists were so greedy not to share any knowledge or wisdom they have... Nice share of knowledge.. This indeed is the key to a whole new world of guitar playing
Brett you are God - I get it now. I just have to practice it! I wish I knew this 30 years ago......I've playing like crap for too long and now i know how to fix it. Thanks!!!
You’re amazing Brent! I so envy people who have the technical theory behind their playing like yourself. I learned by ear and can play what you are here, not as well, and have found this very helpful! When you talk about the “cage” I have come across it accidentally while soloing and thought I need to remember this scale pattern but sometimes don’t...haha! Your a nice guy and a pleasure to follow, thanks for your help!
The Missing Link. The Rosetta stone. Possibly the secret hand-shake known through the ages, until, suddenly, it wasn't, at least not in immediate culture. Thank-you so much!!
I'm no expert but learning the caged system is probably the most important thing I've ever learned. My family & friends actually think I'm good, though I still feel like a beginner.
Do yourself a favor and buy the CAGED course, go back to the videos and study them over and over until you have fully learned the course, then you will be able to play any song you want and will never have to seek out tab for chords, scales, and leads again. Post any questions you have on the website and you will get a answer, plus money back guarantee. This is the best investment you can make for improving your playing.
Tim Bryant Yes Sir. The CAGED System is something you learn and use for the rest of your life when playing guitar. You imagine seeing the chords up and down the neck in the shape of the C, A, G, E, D, chord and then you play the 1st (root note) the 3rd, and the 5th note of the chord most of the time for soloing. You can add the 7th, 9th, and 13th if you wish. You play other notes as well but as long as you play those 1,3,5, you make a tone pleasing to the ear for the chord being played. You know how to play a E chord ? Slide an E chord up one fret and use your index finger for the bar, that becomes an F chord, slide the same shape up the neck the the 2nd fret and it becomes a F sharp chord, slide the same E shaped chord up to the 3rd fret and it becomes a G chord, the same sound that a Open G chord makes, keep on sliding the same shape all the way up the neck and the name of the chord changes with every fret until you get to the 12th fret and then the chords repeat their same name all over again up until you get to the body of the guitar and run out of frets, the end of the neck. Learn the notes on the 6th E string (the Big E string) this will help you name the chords. Learn the notes on the 5th string, the A string and start off by playing chords in the shape of a A chord. Use your index finger to bar on the 5th string at the first fret and the chord becomes a Bb (B flat) slide the same shape up to the second fret using the 5th string as your bar root note and the chord becomes a B chord, using the same A shaped chord pattern with your index finger on the 5th string 3rd fret, the chord becomes a C major chord, same sound as a open C chord, 4th fret it becomes a C sharp, 5th fret it becomes a D chord, and so on until you reach the 12th fret and the chords start repeating their name all over agin until you run out of frets, neck, and reach the guitar body. This is why you need to learn the notes on the 6th E (big E string) and the notes on the 5th A string. The notes will be the root note name of the chord. Once you have learned that, you can play major chords all over the neck. The minor chords and 7th chords will be easy and second nature to you once you learn the major chords for the 6th and 5th string. If you sound out the major scale, Doe, Ray, Me, Fa, So, La, Tee, Doe. You will know the numbers of the chord, the Root (bass note of the chord is always number 1, that is the Doe sound, the position on the neck fret is what determines the letter name of the chord. Doe is 1, root note, Ray, is 2nd, Me is 3rd, Fa is 4th, So is 5th, La is 6th, Tee is 7th, Doe is 8 which is an octave above the first note you play, then you start to name the same notes again to know the major scale of the chord. Start on the 6th big E string, do the Do Ray Me Fa So La Tee Doe, and start over again when you get to the 4th G string working your way up to the 1st E string (skinniest string). Try playing a E shaped bar chord on the 5th fret of the 6th string, this would be a A major chord. Play the Doe-Doe notes and you will know the numbers of the chord, if you keep on going past the 8th Doe Root sound, that becomes a 8th note, then Ray the next note becomes a 9th note, etc working your way up the scale to get the 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, chords. If you start the Doe Ray Me etc all over again as 1, 2, 3, 4, up to 8 this becomes a octave higher sound of the same chord you sounded out starting at the 6th string. I hope this helps. Rewind and rewind and rewind and keep on trying and you will figure it out. You must first learn how to play the chords in the open position, which is the Cowboy chord shapes played closest to the nut and tuners on your guitar neck. You have to know the C chord, A chord, G chord, E chord, D chord, that spells out the CAGED System and all you do is use the same shape of these chords moving them up the neck by changing your fingers and using your index finger as the bar in place of the nut on the neck of the guitar. Papa’s course will help you out and you can always email him. Guthrie Trapp always says he uses the CAGED System every time he plays the guitar. Players use the system, some do not even realize it because they never learned it, but learning it makes it so much easier to find the key notes in a chord all over the neck. When you can do that you can play with any singer in the world whether they have a high pitched or a low pitched voice and you can play like Hendrix, Allman Brothers, Sting, LED Zeppelin, any band and anyone out there. It is a process of knowing the chords, the chord names, the chord tones and that is what makes up all of your music. There is also the major and minor pentatonic scale, along with modes, etc., but most you will use a pentatonic and major scale combined. Buy the course, you get a money back guarantee and Papa will help you with your questions, and if you want to ask me anything about it, please feel free and I will try and help you all I can. You can’t go wrong, your guitar will always be there and you can really learn something new or improve every single day you play if you try and apply yourself. Hope this helps. Take care. Good luck.
@@VonBluesman Dude, how kind of you to take the time to reply. This past year I have learned the five positions and the caged system both of them combined have improved my playing and fret board knowledge so much. I see the chord shapes and the positions that the chord sits in. I can now improve like never before. But like any art its a lifetime of learning and there is still more. As I play with the pentatonic positions and caged in mind once again, what a gift this has been.
Tim Bryant You are welcome. I forgot to mention on the chord change patterns, it goes like this always in this order no matter what order you chose to play the chords in. Most simple songs on the radio use a pattern like the 1, 4, 5, chord changes. The pattern is the 1 chord is a Major chord, the 2nd chord is a Minor chord the 3rd chord is a Minor chord, the 4th chord is a Major chord, the 5th chord is a Major chord, the 6th chord is a Minor chord and the 7th chord is a Augmented chord you will never use hardly ever. Most simple songs are 1, 4, 5, all major with the exception every once in a while they throw in a minor. Google guitar songs with just 3 chords and it will amaze you how many there are and how many hundreds of songs you can play. With C major being your root chord (#1) the 2nd chord would be D Minor, 3rd chord E minor, 4th chord F Major, 5th chord G Major. 6th chord A minor. Using the numbers is also known as the Nashville Number System. Hope this helps. Holler, Papa will answer your email questions and go into more depth in his courses. Take care.
You're awesome bro (Brett), love your vibe, thanks for all the efforts, I've seen a lot of your vids over the years. I subscribed right away, Im a major Hendrix fan BTW, the 1st vid I found you thru was re; Hendrix. You have more 'Charisma', humour, good vibes/watchable than ten of most people on these vids, and bless them all of course. 'No need to hurt anyone'. Keep it up brother. Too bad my Math teachers weren't like you; I'd have learned something haha, they were all sooooo boring. ''You Rawk'', etc
I learned one of my most favorite guitar solo's of all time note for note from this guy he's a really great guitar teacher the solo I learned from him is Tesla's love song solo from frank hannon , great band , great solo and this guy nailed it and taught it perfectly and I learned it really quick perfectly !!! Great guitar teacher thanks alot , im watching and learning all your stuff !!! Thanks I think I will buy your course too , how do I order it ? Is there info. On here somewhere to order your cage system course ??? Thanks buddy keep up the great work you do, I've learned alot from you already , thank you !!!
Amazing the light just clicked on & the elevator went all the way to the Top.....Thanks Greatly for all of your guitar knowledge extremely priceless lesson for me & I'm sure many others
I just had that WOW moment you talked about! Holy Crap! Suddenly I can solo up and down the whole neck and not worry about playing the wrong notes!! (Well, at least on a basic level right now) I'm definitely going to consider purchasing Caged Unleashed. For years I've been trying to solo from attempting to memorize and remember all the notes in all the positions note by note. 🤣 I had heard the term CAGED before but for some reason I always dismissed it until today. Man what a moron I've been. 😅
@@BrettPapaThank you so much for your reply. I would really love to learn to play the intro to the song and the first riff...the entire song is pretty long with a lot of solos and all. I love all of your Floyd lessons and have learnt a lot from them.
I think all the gutiar gods even way back in the 50s and 60s aproached there playing the way you are teaching it and they mastered it real good guys like hendrix and page
Brett i just wanted to say thanks .i started playing 35years ago and learned to fly all over the neck with lead but never really learned how things were put together until the last few months and your caged video helps a lot .lately i have been seeing things on the neck and after i cuss myself for not seeing it before i run with it.thank you for making stuff seem so simple and advice to up and comming guitarist is learn to crawl before you fly.
Dude I reckon light grey plastic covers for the coils in the Humbucker would look killer on that shell pink / white / rosewood colour scheme. That or royal blue. Or navy. It Daphne. Something blue (but not lake placid!)!! Just a thought, but cheap, easy, and I think a total killer improvement. But hey, it's still choice as is, each to their own, but think about it will ya!? Cheers!
You can watch this 10 times & still pick out something new. Jesus. So powerful Mr Papa.
Thanks Gabriel!
This guy Bret is such a joy to watch. Awesome guy and player.
Thanks man! Appreciate that!
Has to be one of the best guitar lesson for intermediate players so much information in that 17 minutes and the course will take away years of frustation. Thanks so much Brett.
Sure thing Malcolm! Glad to hear it helped you out!
This lesson just made everything click for me soloing by mixing caged system with major pentatonic. Can't thank you enough for this Brett!!! 👏👏👏
Awesome! Thanks for watching!

Wow after all these years something finally makes sense to me for soloing. Thanks great video!
Great stuff
SHAPES LOL.I learned all this on my own but it took longer. I've Been playing 40+ years. All this to me is confusing and your not supposed to think when you're playing guitar. Its feeling emotion: JIMI Hendrix Never knew SHAPES: BECAUSE the word "SHAPES" wasn't used in those days.

I was fortunate enough to have worked & jammed w/ NUGENT: Buddy: Doyal Bramel ll. Talking with SRV being around better players always helps.
Brett you only been playing 20 yrs? Okay: u will only get better...
Brett papa you are amazing
I’m really enjoying your playing and the way you explain it’s really really helpful
May God bless you more

Tim Bryant Yes Sir. The CAGED System is something you learn and use for the rest of your life when playing guitar.

You can add the 7th, 9th, and 13th if you wish. You play other notes as well but as long as you play those 1,3,5, you make a tone pleasing to the ear for the chord being played. You know how to play a E chord ? Slide an E chord up one fret and use your index finger for the bar, that becomes an F chord, slide the same shape up the neck the the 2nd fret and it becomes a F sharp chord, slide the same E shaped chord up to the 3rd fret and it becomes a G chord, the same sound that a Open G chord makes, keep on sliding the same shape all the way up the neck and the name of the chord changes with every fret until you get to the 12th fret and then the chords repeat their same name all over again up until you get to the body of the guitar and run out of frets, the end of the neck.

This is why you need to learn the notes on the 6th E (big E string) and the notes on the 5th A string. The notes will be the root note name of the chord. Once you have learned that, you can play major chords all over the neck. The minor chords and 7th chords will be easy and second nature to you once you learn the major chords for the 6th and 5th string. If you sound out the major scale, Doe, Ray, Me, Fa, So, La, Tee, Doe. You will know the numbers of the chord, the Root (bass note of the chord is always number 1, that is the Doe sound, the position on the neck fret is what determines the letter name of the chord. Doe is 1, root note, Ray, is 2nd, Me is 3rd, Fa is 4th, So is 5th, La is 6th, Tee is 7th, Doe is 8 which is an octave above the first note you play, then you start to name the same notes again to know the major scale of the chord. Start on the 6th big E string, do the Do Ray Me Fa So La Tee Doe, and start over again when you get to the 4th G string working your way up to the 1st E string (skinniest string). Try playing a E shaped bar chord on the 5th fret of the 6th string, this would be a A major chord. Play the Doe-Doe notes and you will know the numbers of the chord, if you keep on going past the 8th Doe Root sound, that becomes a 8th note, then Ray the next note becomes a 9th note, etc working your way up the scale to get the 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, chords. If you start the Doe Ray Me etc all over again as 1, 2, 3, 4, up to 8 this becomes a octave higher sound of the same chord you sounded out starting at the 6th string. I hope this helps. Rewind and rewind and rewind and keep on trying and you will figure it out. You must first learn how to play the chords in the open position, which is the Cowboy chord shapes played closest to the nut and tuners on your guitar neck. You have to know the C chord, A chord, G chord, E chord, D chord, that spells out the CAGED System and all you do is use the same shape of these chords moving them up the neck by changing your fingers and using your index finger as the bar in place of the nut on the neck of the guitar. Papa’s course will help you out and you can always email him. Guthrie Trapp always says he uses the CAGED System every time he plays the guitar. Players use the system, some do not even realize it because they never learned it, but learning it makes it so much easier to find the key notes in a chord all over the neck. When you can do that you can play with any singer in the world whether they have a high pitched or a low pitched voice and you can play like Hendrix, Allman Brothers, Sting, LED Zeppelin, any band and anyone out there. It is a process of knowing the chords, the chord names, the chord tones and that is what makes up all of your music. There is also the major and minor pentatonic scale, along with modes, etc., but most you will use a pentatonic and major scale combined. Buy the course, you get a money back guarantee and Papa will help you with your questions, and if you want to ask me anything about it, please feel free and I will try and help you all I can. You can’t go wrong, your guitar will always be there and you can really learn something new or improve every single day you play if you try and apply yourself. Hope this helps. Take care. Good luck.
@@VonBluesman Dude, how kind of you to take the time to reply. This past year I have learned the five positions and the caged system both of them combined have improved my playing and fret board knowledge so much. I see the chord shapes and the positions that the chord sits in. I can now improve like never before. But like any art its a lifetime of learning and there is still more. As I play with the pentatonic positions and caged in mind once again, what a gift this has been.
Tim Bryant You are welcome. I forgot to mention on the chord change patterns, it goes like this always in this order no matter what order you chose to play the chords in. Most simple songs on the radio use a pattern like the 1, 4, 5, chord changes. The pattern is the 1 chord is a Major chord, the 2nd chord is a Minor chord the 3rd chord is a Minor chord, the 4th chord is a Major chord, the 5th chord is a Major chord, the 6th chord is a Minor chord and the 7th chord is a Augmented chord you will never use hardly ever. Most simple songs are 1, 4, 5, all major with the exception every once in a while they throw in a minor. Google guitar songs with just 3 chords and it will amaze you how many there are and how many hundreds of songs you can play. With C major being your root chord (#1) the 2nd chord would be D Minor, 3rd chord E minor, 4th chord F Major, 5th chord G Major. 6th chord A minor. Using the numbers is also known as the Nashville Number System. Hope this helps. Holler, Papa will answer your email questions and go into more depth in his courses. Take care.
I am going to get this course. I am excited.
Yes!!!! Thanks!
Wow! best video of all the ones I have seen. Now everything makes sense. Thanks.👍
Sweet!!
You're awesome bro (Brett), love your vibe, thanks for all the efforts, I've seen a lot of your vids over the years. I subscribed right away, Im a major Hendrix fan BTW, the 1st vid I found you thru was re; Hendrix. You have more 'Charisma', humour, good vibes/watchable than ten of most people on these vids, and bless them all of course. 'No need to hurt anyone'. Keep it up brother. Too bad my Math teachers weren't like you; I'd have learned something haha, they were all sooooo boring. ''You Rawk'', etc
Haha thanks David! Thanks for the kind words! Glad to hear you like the vids!
Great lesson. Thanks, Brett.
Awesome! Thanks!
Glad to see you back Pops !
Good to be back!
@brettpapa a reminder for the EDT demo :) Can't wait to hear its drive!
Haha! I haven't played on of those in years. Fantastic amp! I think the Stereo Intellect channel might have done a demo on one.
@@BrettPapa I checked, unfortunately, he has not. Will be looking forward to whenever you do it.
This is likely the best, life changing, must see lesson. Thank You! And I love Hendrix papastache but I’m still checking out Trower.
Wow thanks! Glad you liked it! Trower is a must if you like Hendrix!
Excellent explanation! Thank you!
Thanks! Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the great teaching
Sure thing!
Hey man , welcome welcome back.. unleash the cage beast
Haha! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this lesson free Brett ,,I’m 72 ,,still learning lol ,,
Awesome man! You can never stop learning! Always something new to pick up.
Another brilliant lesson brother,thanks
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
G'day Papastache, greetings from down under. Just purchased the course. Can't wait to dive in and improve my playing.🤘
You are awesome! Thanks for the support!
If I could teach you one thing it's this. Play when you exhale, stop when you inhale. Just like a singer, it's called phrasing. Your welcome 🤘
...oh one more thing, don't learn scales. Learn the melodies of the music you love, vocal, guitar, bass it doesn't matter. 👍
I talk about that a lot as well.
I learned one of my most favorite guitar solo's of all time note for note from this guy he's a really great guitar teacher the solo I learned from him is Tesla's love song solo from frank hannon , great band , great solo and this guy nailed it and taught it perfectly and I learned it really quick perfectly !!! Great guitar teacher thanks alot , im watching and learning all your stuff !!! Thanks I think I will buy your course too , how do I order it ? Is there info. On here somewhere to order your cage system course ??? Thanks buddy keep up the great work you do, I've learned alot from you already , thank you !!!
Awesome man glad you like the videos! Thanks so much for watching! There is a link to my site in the description box.
Your the guitar god Papa.... respect
Haha, thanks man! Glad you liked the vid!
Great lesson! I know my modes well, but can be guilty of not targeting enough chord tones in my improvisation sometimes.
Thanks Simon!
great lesson for how to use the caged system in a practical way !!
Thanks!!
Thank you sooo much!!! Eye opening stuff. Really well explained.
Awesome! Thanks!
Amazing the light just clicked on & the elevator went all the way to the Top.....Thanks Greatly for all of your guitar knowledge extremely priceless lesson for me & I'm sure many others
Awesome! Glad to hear that it helped! Thanks for watching!
I thought this was going to be a fishing lesson ,,,,, Bwahaha ! Thanks Stache ! This will do ! 😁🖒✌🎸🎶
Haha!
I just had that WOW moment you talked about! Holy Crap! Suddenly I can solo up and down the whole neck and not worry about playing the wrong notes!! (Well, at least on a basic level right now) I'm definitely going to consider purchasing Caged Unleashed. For years I've been trying to solo from attempting to memorize and remember all the notes in all the positions note by note. 🤣 I had heard the term CAGED before but for some reason I always dismissed it until today. Man what a moron I've been. 😅
Awesome man! It's the key!
Incredible woooah feeling after seeing this video... Thank you!
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
I am learning a lot from your lesson 😁. Please do a lesson on Boston Rain Melody by Steve Vai.
Thanks! Steve Vai is usually beyond my playing level but I'll check it out.
@@BrettPapaThank you so much for your reply. I would really love to learn to play the intro to the song and the first riff...the entire song is pretty long with a lot of solos and all. I love all of your Floyd lessons and have learnt a lot from them.
I think all the gutiar gods even way back in the 50s and 60s aproached there playing the way you are teaching it and they mastered it real good guys like hendrix and page
Great lesson
Thanks alot.
Sure thing!
Awesome, Brett!
Thanks Oscar!
Brett i just wanted to say thanks .i started playing 35years ago and learned to fly all over the neck with lead but never really learned how things were put together until the last few months and your caged video helps a lot .lately i have been seeing things on the neck and after i cuss myself for not seeing it before i run with it.thank you for making stuff seem so simple and advice to up and comming guitarist is learn to crawl before you fly.
Wow that’s great! Thanks for checking it out!
Dude I reckon light grey plastic covers for the coils in the Humbucker would look killer on that shell pink / white / rosewood colour scheme. That or royal blue. Or navy. It Daphne. Something blue (but not lake placid!)!!
Just a thought, but cheap, easy, and I think a total killer improvement. But hey, it's still choice as is, each to their own, but think about it will ya!? Cheers!
