    The great thing about caged is that it totally unravels the mystery of the neck.
    The challenge is developing the quickness of mind to really be able to use it in the heat of the moment.

      Yeah but this is about the journey to getting to that stage, which many pros use. Guthrie Trapp for example is always going on about how he uses it.
      Caged is merely a method for 'seeing' the notes around the chords on the fretboard while soloing, a necessary skill.

      ​@@Chris-MusicTheoryAndFretboardI assume they at least think in chords 135 at least. Because how are they going to follow the chord changes? So caged does help cause it just outlines the chords . Caged is really just another tool or perspective for interpreting the guitar

    I love the way Brett asks questions in my uneducated language. He brings light to elements and then draws them together in a way that helps me to "connect the dots". He does it in a way that I would ask.....what was that "thing" you did there. LOL
    Love both these guys - They are among the great players and great modern teachers.

    I always had this thought about music theory that is analogous to magic. Before I knew any music theory, hearing the type of things you guys are playing seemed like absolute magic to me! Like how, just how did you come up with that!? But much like magic, once you know the secret behind the trick, the magic is gone... Normally this would be sad 🙁, but then you realise you can now become the magician! It still is a slightly unfortunate thing that knowing these pieces of theory and tips (dare I say tricks) somewhat demystify music and make hearing it a little less perplexing and magical (for me at least). But the satisfaction of being able to understand it and CREATE you're own magic tricks with the guitar make it greatly worth it! Thank you Tom and Brett for all your great videos over the years. You have surely helped me and so many other progress to a place I may have never been without your instruction. Now off I go to David Copperfield my Les Paul!

    CAGED is such a great way to map the whole neck and the more you practice it, the more fluid you become with chords and scales. It’s become the cornerstone of my playing and I strongly recommend it to anyone learning to play guitar. Tim knows what’s up!

    The concept of playing over changes makes sense. and for players that started off in the blues, its so easy to solo over that root chord and make it sound ok because the other chords fall inside the pentatonic scale, but as some point youll find yourself needing to know how to play over the changes. This video did the best job of explaining it that i've ever seen. Thank you.

      Yes - I too am a fast learner - been at it 45 years myself - and still trying to figure this stuff out , I have played rhythm in bands because I have developed good muscle memory to make chord transitions smoothly and clean . I have developed a good ear - so can pick up on some songs better than others just by hearing BUT - even after all the years I have been at it - I am only now just beginning to learn scales to try and solo. Slowly becoming better / more fluid in my movement around the fretboard AND relaxed while doing so. ✌️

All these things you're talking about make so much sense - thank you for loaning me your brain to get a jump on my guitar playing. So many parallels to drumming regarding the technique stuff you're talking about. Smooth transitions between the notes being so super important, etc. - all the intangible stuff that isn't the chopsy-chops stuff but is the stuff that totally makes the music affect the listener in ways they don't understand.

    I've heard so many people try to explain caged in so many different ways. I think it's about taking open chord/first fret bar chords and moving them up the neck. Open c chord moved to the 5th fret is a c shaped d chord. This will apply to all the shapes up the neck. Then taking the all those chord shapes and being able to recognize them quickly so you can apply it to solos
