It finally clicked tonight. Forget everything you have heard about the CAGED system. Everyone needs to hop aboard this guys sh*t. He is on another level.
It's all about triads and their inversions, the CAGED system is a way to visualize those. I visualize the CAGED system as just 3 shapes, as there are only 3 inversions. The problem with guitar players is that they start with the cowboy chords, move to bar chords and pentatonics and then get stuck. I was thought this by a friend who plays the piano. He asked why I was playing these big doubled chords all the time. He then showed me inversions and voice leading on the piano which makes it easier to understand.
I really like these videos, they're so inspiring. Perfect timing to come across this video. I'm just at the point where I now know these chords and learning how to put them together when they are close by. Thank you Blue!
I’d love to see a whole course on things like that. Chords, harmony, theory, how to mix and connect it all. Could be 50hrs or more and I’d still buy it!

Knowing the CAGED 10:07 system is definitely beneficial. Blue is just a great teacher,and shows how chords, scales, and triads etc.,are all related. I know the caged system and all my pentatonics quite well..the major scale and a bit of the modes. He just puts it all together on another level. A great teacher.A very musical player
Great lesson, Blue. After two plus years of playing, finding chords on different places on the neck has finally ceased being a struggle. And the little colors you can add, it’s a wonderful thing. Thanks!
Thanks as always Blue. Have to admit this one really turned a light. So bright if you look towards TX you’ll the “Blue” spotlight shining bright. Peace.
I so needed this lesson! I was stuck in the cowboy chord rut because I sing and play rhythm with my band but this will definitely help me branch out! Thanks so much!
Great to hear thank you! I have a similar one here on rhythm guitar but with a different spin, you might like: th-cam.com/video/eUtZ5ilKuLo/w-d-xo.html
5:54 AC/DC does not play the major third of a regular G Chord. The a string is muted and the open b string plays the 3rd fret, the D note: 3-X-0-0-3-3 -> G - X - D - G - D - G Usually in rock etc on distortion overdrive sounds the major 3rd are not played because it can sound quite muddy. That's why power chords are used a lot in rock, metal, etc. The chord I described is just that one big power chord. Then again, he said almost, which is spot on as I'm 1000% sure he knows this.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful! That guitar was made in Korea in the 90s. But I know lots of quality guitars are coming from Indonesia now. Thanks for watching 🎸
Love the lesson, really good! I also love the tone you produce. Any chance you could give insight what (if any) pedals you used, or is it just the amp?
I really love your lessons. You do a great job and are always interesting. Question you mention the key of A but isn’t this progression in the key of D. I ask because I always get the D and A keys confused. Thanks and keep the lessons coming!
Sorry meant to add more there, it's A Mixolydian because A sounds as the tonic. So it woukd be I, IV and bVII. It's a funny thing because key of D woukd have the same chords, but in this case A chord sounds like home.
It's the original Samick SAT 650 made in Korea in the 90s. All stock components. Been playing it since the 90s :) samick.fandom.com/wiki/SA#SAT-650_%22Kingston_Classic%22
Great lesson. “5 essentials” deserve 5 chapter markings in the description. It would increase the views by making the video more useful for later reference. Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Some YT advisers say chapter markings help viewership, some say it actually hurts viewer retension. I don't know which is true. I can add them for this video. On the road this weekend but will try adding them when I'm back. Thanks for watching 🎸😎
Don't forget the trick used by Michael Karoli, guitarist of one of the best bands ever (Can): don't play anything, just stand there on stage, until you can contribute to the music. Instead of playing just for the sake of it. Making too much noise, removing quality from the music.

True, the thirds would normally be muted in an ACDC song. Thanks for posting. More coming this Saturday!
Excellent!!!! Thanks a lot.
Thank you! More guitar lessons coming here this weekend :)
Thanks! LOVE yer guitar ...
Thank you! It's a Korean made Samick from the 1990s. Great guitar I got from a pawn shop long time ago.
Thanks a lot for the ideas to enhance rhythm improvisation. Cheers from Indonesia.
There is a chance that your guitar made in Indonesia too. 🙂
Thank you! Glad it was helpful! That guitar was made in Korea in the 90s. But I know lots of quality guitars are coming from Indonesia now. Thanks for watching 🎸
Hey, great video. I am wondering why are the chord shapes including the open high E string for the D chord? Shouldn't they be muted?
Awesome!
Thank you! Lots more guitar lessons on the channel :)
Love the lesson, really good! I also love the tone you produce. Any chance you could give insight what (if any) pedals you used, or is it just the amp?
Thank you! Usually a Fender Deluxe Reverb amp and a touch of tape delay, a touch of compression after recording. That's about it 😀
Subscribed!
Thanks! Welcome to the channel 🎸
I really love your lessons. You do a great job and are always interesting. Question you mention the key of A but isn’t this progression in the key of D. I ask because I always get the D and A keys confused. Thanks and keep the lessons coming!
Thank you! Good question. I would say it's really A Mixolydian.

@@GuitarLessonsVancouver got it! Thanks so much. The modes! Your lessons have been great. Heading over to your patreon page!
Great lesson. Great ideas to spice up rhythm guitar. Cheers from the Philippines.
Thx nice 👍 I'll try this later out 😂😂
Do you have a band. I have heard you referencing them occasionally? Do they play around Vancouvewr?
Would you please tell me which model of Samick guitar are you using in this video? Has it been customized in any way? Please let me know. Thank you!
It's the original Samick SAT 650 made in Korea in the 90s. All stock components. Been playing it since the 90s :) samick.fandom.com/wiki/SA#SAT-650_%22Kingston_Classic%22
Groovy!

Pity I had to stop playing guitar 10 years ago du to medical problems.. it tickels still every time..
Sorry to hear that! Thanks for watching the video!
The A and A/d is from Free - All Right Now
I love that song. Great riff 😎🎸
I only date lead guitarists.
There are a lot of them. Some good, some not so good... in character that is 😆
Guess you're pretty much solo most of of the time :)
