This is a fantastic lesson. The only thing that confuses me a bit are the box numbers. Even thought I understand your logic behind it, usually I am used to the convencional box numbering system. But a great lesson nonetheless. Thank you a log. I am happy I become a patreon. Cheers from Brazil! I am 70 and still learning! Music is infinite!
Finally someone that can explain without getting confused and so well organized CAGED is the secret based on the key. The lights went on this time like a puzzle THANK YOU
it makes sense, but it took some effort. Before i thought of CAGED as five different shapes - rather than positions. And the shapes are usually considered in reference the the major cowboy chords. hence shapes. But this way here makes really sense once you think and rethink it and write it all down. thx - really a useful lesson.
This is my current practice routine which I referred to by another instructor who had posted the diagram, thank you for reinforcing the same in detail.
Good video. I've been trying to correlate these scales to the CAGED system, so I watched this video and while it does a good job showing the major and minor scales are 3 frets away from each other... it doesn't touch on which of the 5 pentatonic boxes is which CAGED system. I'm hoping you can expand on this idea and do a video where you correlate the boxes with the CAGED system and explain which goes with which.
Yes, it seems like theory without any practical application. Rock n roll and blues are based on a scale combining major and minor, or for minor blues, just the minor scales. So for most rock keys (in the CAGED system), the minor blues (minor pentatonic with an added flat fifth) is used for soloing over the keys.
basically it does tell that too but you have to wrap your head around it a bit, for example you would play the e minor shape over an e minor shape bar chord. over an e major shape chord you would use the scale before that, because between minor and major its 1 scale position difference, same as with minor and major pentatonics. im jus talking about the shape not an actual e chord. i hope what im trying to say is making sense.
So much for a clear explanation - he did such a good job that some people didn't catch the tie-in to the CAGED system. If everyone who tries to ex[lain this would just do it by at least using the same box numbers .....
One thing I am not able to wrap my head around and would be helpful if some one can explain this. Take Box 1. I understand that it is the box in which A Major chord gets played in C Shape and there we find the A Minor pentatonic notes with the given fingering. What I do not understand is , when that fingering is moved 3 frets lower, why is it called "Major D Position"?
2 роки тому+1
I know you asked this a long time ago haha but the reason why it's called the major D position (box 1 after being moved down 3 frets) is because within that position (starting at fret 7 on bottom string) you can play the D major SHAPE of the chord A major. You can make this D major shape by playing the A note on the D string, which is the 7th fret, along with 9th fret on G string, 10th fret on B string and 9th fret on high E, that is a D major shape, but the chord is A major 😁
So what I got is that: -follow/memorize the major pentatonic shapes -correlate the shape by following dcage(3 frets back of minor) for major and caged for minor respectively What I didn't get is how did he find out that fret 12 is where he would start for a minor pentatonic scale. The only thing I am aware is the famous g shape for major where the index is the marker for what you want to play i.e. a minor pentatonic starts on 5th fret low e and that it's also the c major penta g shape
You know, it would be nice if people would be consistence about what they are calling 1st, 2nd, 3rd ,,,,, positions.I follow your logic though - you started with C position as1st position because it is the first position of the CAGED system. I guess it just depends on the teacher, as usual.
Can you please explain why the charts you're displaying in the upper right corner don't match what you're actually playing on the fretboard? This is very confusing for me.
They do, they are just displayed from players perspective, as if you’re peering down at your fretboard. This is how guitar diagrams, tabs and notation are typically displayed.
What lesson was taught here? All I see is someone showing the box shapes. How to apply these to different keys other than A? Which shape goes with which pentatonic position?
The goal of this lesson is to explain the relationship between relative positions of the major and minor pentatonic scales. The topics you mentioned are covered in separate videos.
At 14:41 in your video there doesn't seem to be a Caged System D-"SHAPE" in the image as shown for the A Minor Pentatonic Scale. Am I missing something . . . ? Please let me know, Thank you.
Just found what I was looking for and signed up to receive it. However, can you please explain what you state in your REVIEW: on page 3 under box 5 as I do not understand it? Thank You
Just a hint, your guitar makes it tough to see where your 12th fret marker is. For beginners it is really helpful to know exactly where you are. You makers all look the same.
Step1: learn the Am pentatonic scale that sits on fret 5 ... Step 2: the first note you play (the note A on the low E) determines what scale you're playing. .. Step 3: You can start that scale (instead of on the A) on any note you want, and that note will be the key you're playing the scale in. So if you start on the 3rd fret, you're playing Gm pentatonic, because the note you start on is a G.
@@escrtn84 Sorry I was just wondering how you know whether or not the scale is minor or major. You said if we were to start on the 3rd fret with the note G it'd obviously be the G scale. That I understand, I just want to know how you know it's the G minor pentatonic scale instead of the G major scale and what exactly is the difference?
@@keithsimpson6386 It's the minor scale, because that shape, in that position, produces the right whole/half steps to produce a minor scale. (If you start on the first note of the shape).. the minor scale consists of Root, whole, half, whole, whole, half, whole, whole. But.. if you start on your pinky finger instead of your pointer finger, and play the same shape in the same position.. You'd be playing Root, whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half. That means you'd be playing the major scale. The C major scale to be exact. Because your pinky finger is on the C on the 8th fret in that shape. Hope that makes sense, I tried :)

EXCELLENT VIDEO
OK, but I'm not putting my fingers on A minor, just wanna make it clear OK.
I like to put my fingers on the G string
Insert any R. Kelly joke (here).
This is the only pentatoniv lesson that i understans 😅
Just found your video,thank you I believe I’ve got it now ❤️
God bless you bro
Great lesson the caged system broke down beautifully preciate cha
Very useful
Wow amazing you are the real master brother 🎸🙏
It's a bit fast but I get it and THANK YOU! Def helped! 👏🏽 👏🏽 🎸 🤘🏽
Thank you! The best lesson!
Whoah! Five pentatonic boxes? What a coincidence! ;-)

Thank you very much for sharing
So helpful, thank you!
This is great, thank you.
I take the 5 CAGED Minor Pentatonic “boxes” and just add in 3. So it yields this: 1-b3/3-4-5-b7.
Oh yeah, that’s essential for major blues soloing. Great tip!

hopefully this is correct because i learned it and its now locked in lol now i just have to fig out what to do with them
Thank you
Very useful ,thank you very much
That's great

Exactly - this is why there is so much confusion on this subject. "Lets follow the CAGED system by starting on D" as the 1st position ?????
I finally understood...Thanks a Million!!!
Successful Sir !
So each of these can only be played in two places on the fret board
If you having trouble…..flip your screen upside down
It helps
Superb sir
How so you hold a 7 on a guitar using number system ...can kindly make a video on number system
You know, it would be nice if people would be consistence about what they are calling 1st, 2nd, 3rd ,,,,, positions.I follow your logic though - you started with C position as1st position because it is the first position of the CAGED system. I guess it just depends on the teacher, as usual.
Gracias sos groso!
I understand the shapes I just don’t get how where you place the shapes determine what chord shape it is if that makes any sense.
look up steve stine‘s lessons about cages. he is a better teacher. trust me.
the caged system always stays in the same order across the fretboard all the time.
I am having a bit problem to understand which maj pentatonic corresponds to which min pentatonic. ..
Is it productive to practice on two different electric guitars
I don't understand what makes all of this in the key of A minor. Can someone explain that to me?
Sargam solutions Major and minor. Please
Can you please explain why the charts you're displaying in the upper right corner don't match what you're actually playing on the fretboard? This is very confusing for me.

Beautiful guitar, is that a Gibson Blues Hawk?
Wouldnt it be d minor with f major for box 5? Just wonderin
Do you have a video where you discuss your guitar? I saw it in many vids. What kind of “335” is it?
What lesson was taught here? All I see is someone showing the box shapes. How to apply these to different keys other than A? Which shape goes with which pentatonic position?

Do you offer the individual boxes in print? Thank you
You had a new nice guitar. What guitar youre using?
3:12 is that B maj or A maj?I think its B maj 7th fret low E string??
would pattern 5 be the major to pattern 1?
so if I play A minor pentatonic would pattern 5 below be considered A major?
I love you lol
Can anyone tell me where the intro music is from. It sounds so familiar?
That’s actually an original composition I did with my old band Kickin’ Bear. It’s titled “lady monsoon.”
@@swiftlessons wow. Pretty cool
Why are the frett board pictures upside down
Any tablature you find on the internet is going to be set up the same way, it's just the way it's done
Because it’s easier to visualize when playing since your eyes are usually viewing the fretboard from the same direction (also upside down).
I’m having trouble memorizing the positions.
...but would you do it for a WHOLE BOX of Scooby Snacks?!?! ;)
Just practice
Same as do re mi fa so la si do

@@escrtn84 Thank you, that makes perfect sense. I really appreciate it
i appreciate the enthusiasm, but you really dont explain this well at all.
I know right he makes it so confusing
How? It was pretty clear to me.
Ya I completely understood it
Do you understand the caged system?
