The caged system chords can be a little vanilla, but for learning arpeggios, inversions, pentatonics, major scale etc... then connecting them with knowing the triads across the neck is amazing. Start combining 1 then 2 then all positions. Arpeggio up then scale down. 2 octave arpeggio up, scale down. Scale up, arpeggio down. Pentatonic up, major scale down etc... Same idea, listening, tagging and relating back to what you already know the caged system is a beast. Have you listened to Guthrie Trapp Rotem?
I agree. I've always thought it's like how people join the dots to see Astrological figures in the sky. After the basic imagination it takes to 'see' them, I think it's a stretch to envisage the purpose and that requires even further imagination. It's kind of like, 'yeah, OK, now what?' You still need other dots (notes) outside the shape to connect them and make the system work. Maybe I'm not articulating this very well here.
I've never been a fan of the CAGED system because 1. All of the chords are in root position, and 2. the voicings are pretty boring, to my ears anyway If I was starting from scratch, I'd focus on learning inversions on the same string (Example C maj triad built from C, then E, then G). I ignored inversions in my early playing days, and forcing myself to learn them for various chord types (Maj, min, Dom, aug, dim, 7th chords, etc) was some of the most worthwhile practice time that I ever spent. Great video!
Take another look at the caged system, the different shapes contain the inversions. If you look at the note position of the 1-3-5 in each chord shape, you'll see they automatically become inverted in the next shape up. When you think of it like this you already know all the inversions. And if you tag the 1-3-5 you can easily adjust them to colorful chords etc. Each caged shape contains an arpeggio, then a pentatonic scale and then a full major/minor scale etc

Idan is so wise. He is the buddhist monk from the matrix. Please write a book.
I’d love to! It’s an old dream, what would it be about?
@@idanmorim1946 Have you read the Music Lesson by Victor Wooten? Something like that, but more focused on guitar applications would be really cool!
@@idanmorim1946 standards and improvisations
I see! What an inspiring and fruitful explanation.
"...pull it out of your...hand, in real-time..." You almost slipped, Idan! ;o)
lol!
So helpful, thank you.

Where is the root each time the chord moves? Yawn.
