I learned my in-key triads, scales, in-key chords etc. decades ago. I never messed with CAGED and thought it was just some way for chord guys to play in key with out having to learn scales, because chord guys seem to hate scales so much.
Just yesterday, I learned that CAGED covers just one chord at a time!
So one key needs at least 3 different CAGED systems! I think.
So, I'm totally learning this backwards! Great lesson! I think I can maybe do this!
Best part of Friday is Mr. Haugen uploading -- cheers & eat pizza!
Eric is a world class teacher and an incredible player.
These “you’ve learned CAGED, now what” lessons are so great. Nice work.
This is exactly what I’ve been doing, so this lesson is a great reassurance. The crazy, perhaps intimidating to some, thing about all of this is that it puts you on a long path, years of work. It’s a great example of how one tidbit of information can be enough to fuel months or even years of guitar development.
Yes! One little thing that changes EVERYTHING!
That’s one of those guitars that I love watching other people play but would probably never play if I owned one. Sounds very warm.
Cool lesson, and great song choice 👍🏻 Btw, guitar on original recording was played by Eddie Willis (Funk Bros)
I love with the g chord shape how you said to choose a side. What an excellent tip.
Your videos and overall lessons have gradually gotten a lot better. Super happy to see your channel thriving, all the best to you Eric!
Eric is most certainly the most intuitive and simplistic guitar teacher out there. Especially if you are having trouble pulling all the pieces of theory and technique you know together. Take his advice and "slow down you move to fast". It is all there under your fingers.
Not sure I’d call him simplistic.
Solo reminds me of something James Burton would do on an Elvis R&B cover with that vibe
Life is busy as, but I always make sure the first thing I do on a Saturday morning is get my guitar out and I love that it always coincides with a new vid from you. Love what you do Eric!
Real knowledge. Real teaching. Real good! Thanks Eric.
Your TrueFire course on CAGED has been an immense help. Thanks for all your hard work.
Agreed! Eric's TrueFire courses are great.
I agree totally. I understand CAGED’s power now.
I really like Eric's style of explaining things... So much patience and very chill... Great videos
I find a good way to decide chord shapes is pick the spot on the neck you want to be in, find the root note and use this cheat sheet for the corresponding shape:
C - roots on b and a
A - roots on a and g
G - roots on e’s & g
E - roots on e’s & d
D - roots on d & b
This was an absolutely great lesson Eric. I loved it from end to end. I love your personable style. I've been really focusing on CAGED and Triads for the last year or so. This really great.
After taking your courses on TrueFire, I truly enjoy the guitar again. I understand it so much better than I ever did before.
Thanks for walking us through a straight forward and immersing use of the caged system. That's a great looking guitar too!
Every time you make my friday a little better than it would have been. Thank you.
👍🏼🎸 i just accepted these short fingers werent designed to Rock in this life. then 40 years later forgot and tried again.
Dude, I just found exactly what I need in my guitar advancement. Im glad I ran across you and your channel
I appreciate you explaining these concepts, I'm still at the stage of reading tabs and not knowing any of this musical theory stuff, you explain it well, thank you 🤘
You're a stellar teacher my friend.
Another great Haugenizing. We met for a lesson last week, and this video is well -timed for me as your encouraged me to continue working on CAGED.
Great content Eric, I really enjoyed our lesson the other week. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking to improve their craft.
Been getting more into caged idea’s lately so this is good timing
Dude, thank you....great vid. I love practicing by finding songs that 'require' a capo and playing without one. This lesson just locked everything in for me. I'm a new fan and will be spending some time on other vids of yours. Cheers 🎸👈
Excellent lesson in applying the fundamental knowledge of CAGED to make it musical.
Excellent supplemental video for the Truefire course. I'll have to go back and brush up on that. Thanks and have a great day!
Thanks Eric! Your lessons are outstanding because you are one of the few who offer solutions to the central problem of how to learn to play effortlessly (without "thinking" or calculating).
You rock, Eric! Thanks so much for taking the time to put these concepts into words. Very digestible and applicable!
Hey, it's undeniable that Eric was specially on a good mood day, it really transversed the screen. there was also good content, but who cares about content if youre having such a good time.
Eric, this was another brilliant lesson. I know I always feel better if I can confidently play the melody on the guitar as it usually unlocks a lot of stuff when I continue to poke at it. 😊
I've just started getting my head around the caged system recently and your video really opened things up for me. I like the idea of jamming in different areas of the fret board with the same chord progressions to get the different tones and riffs. Thanks man.
Great lesson
& awesome look Eric.
Keep rocking man and thanks for all the wisdom you’re sharing!!!
This lesson and your way of explaining, unlocked something in my head , which I haven’t had for years watching online lessons. So grateful for your incredible channel. Cheers from Berlin 🎸
I REALLY like the idea of breaking the CAGED shapes into three string patterns. I've carpal tunnel in both hands, there's no way I can play the full shapes without pain. But CAGED, to me, is very important. And his video is GREAT. Thank you!
I’ll chime in with the others and say how much your CAGED course helped me, but I still find myself noodling on it more than I would like. This is a better use of time to explore with the songs I know.
“A stupid amount of patience and tenacity” - that accurately sums up my entire lifetime drive to learn this instrument.
Man oh man, what a great lesson, thank you, keep up the awesome work Eric!
Just coming onboard. Like what I’m seeing and hearing. I think this is exactly where I need to be . Thanks for doing more than just showing me how to play a song!
Ive never completely grasped the CAGED system until now. Ive been playing for over a decade but things kind of got sidelined when I went to college on classical double bass. This is a fantastic toutorial that Im going to be coming back to again and again because you just explain it in a way that is simple enough for me to understand without needing to ask you a question personally (since its a video and not a physical lesson). Very well done and thank you sir.
Great video. That tone is fantastic too! I see that I need to slow down and work on some alternative positions with the caged system, and break those down into 3 string chunks. It takes time, but it's all there. Thanks for your consistently inspiring content.
That guitar is just perfect. Always loved that shape and the tone is amazing.
Also this guy really understands his stuff. I’ve seen more helpful stuff here than anywhere else.
Really Informative! Thanks Eric!
I didn't know I would be able to find another great guitar channel I learn as much from, as I do from Paul Davids. Yet here we are! Thank you for the great content!
I rarely finish one of your videos in one setting. I'm always moved to get up and play! That in itself makes you important to me.
Eric, I love the laidback manner in which you explain things. Thank you tor this video. I subscribed brother. 👍
Thanks brother! I'm loving your stuff - sits nicely with what my in-the-flesh teacher is giving me. Cheers from New Zealand - Mitch
Thanska lot Eric for your lessons! Ive been learning guitar for like 15 years, and trying to get scales, arpegios, triads, etc. all separate from one another and here you come with this simple explanation and suddenly mi interest in guitar is high again
I don’t expect to dance in my chair when watching guitar tutorials but I’m very glad to watch one where I have to!
gorgeous guitar!
Great words of wisdom about tempo and feel and performance adrenaline at around 19:40
Thanks Eric. Your explanation in colloquial prose is Relatable. And just moving and thinking and showing...opens up a number of opportunities to fit our style. That's gold. The pace you set, combined with your talk and chord box inclusions...very good.
Your instruction is a good good find. Gotta get better in a little while.
I love how cocky but informative you can be. So direct. Subbed. :)
Thank you! What a great lesson, lands perfectly where I'm at. I've long been aware of the connection of CAGED with triads and pentatonics, but this helps so much with that challenge of putting it all into action.
(And what a great song choice! Stevie's first hit, I believe.)
Subscribed! Never came across your videos before this one, love your approach to teaching, great job!
My god. I've been dicking around with CAGED in the past few months. Understood the shapes but wondered where to take it. I was getting confused because I could see triads in there as well and scales/arpeggios overlaid as this clip shows but the idea of learning a song then "Caging it" as it were is a real breakthrough. Getting the familiar motivation feeling of breaking out of a rut
This video really connected a lot for me! Thank you!
very good lesson and lovely tone from the big firebird.
Fantastic. As a guy that’s beginning to venture into CAGED and triads this video and the way you describe and play it was awesome. Thanks! Subscribed!
2:30 this quote is very similar to what my karate teacher used to say. Don't practice until you get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong!
I think this is the best explanation of the CAGED system I have ever heard. Also mentions 'by ear' and knowing what you will hear. Thank you sir.
PS, never dis the Firebird!
Hey Eric, thanks for enlightening the CAGED system and the benefit of it, I never saw the benefit before this video. Time to extend my dexterity
Gorgeous guitar man! Great playing and a great lesson as always.
The statement at 5:05 to 5:15 is the truth! I have gone down this road a few years and now feel confident I am on the right path and my ear is being trained in the process. Isolated knowledge has limited use. Caged is the foundation!
The dude is amazing! Great to watch just for the guitar tone, but the teaching approach is really good as well! Thanks for the recommendation, UA-cam!!
Good voice leading just sounds more pleasing to the ear and is the staple of most great songs. CAGED will get you there.
Nice one Eric! You’re always delivering the goods!
I was thinking during the video how killer your tone is and then you mentioned the Supro amp… it’s on my wish list now… damn…
Incidentally, about the time you uploaded this I was in a bar having birthday drinks with my wife and they were playing Stevie Wonder!
Nice synchronicity😊
Great timing! I’m currently working on this.
Another exercise you can do is diagram every position (patterns 1 through 5) and identify all the diatonic triads in each position. This will help you move between all the roman numerals in every position and every key and even more importantly quickly identify target notes in the underlying chords during your soloing.
Great lesson from start to beginning
Awesome lesson plus funny noises at some point. You really made my weekend!
Nicely done, man. I've been using the CAGED system in the manner you describe for several years now. Especially, when I'm working on a fingerstyle arrangement and need to find a convenient position to voice melodic parts of an arrangement or solo bit. That said, I tend to focus on the mid-high and twinkly shapes. This video reminds me to explore more of what's possible on the lower pitched strings. Also, when I shake the cobwebs off of a song from my past repertoire I see it in a whole new CAGED perspective. I don't necessarily change the arrangement but somehow the song is easier to play with a CAGED mindset. Good stuff! Pizza was eaten, btw. 🙂
Can’t wait to watch more of ur vids man ur awesome, love the bonus rounds and nerding out🤟
Beautiful playing here...great sound
You are my go-to human being for all things guitar-thought.
Thanks for the lesson, my dude!
stevie wonder opening....awesome!
Super great explanation....
Amazing lesson, as always!
I am one of those late in life guitar learners. Needless to say, I have struggled in a lot of ways. After watching one of EH's videos and it making sense, I started the Truefire caged course. It wasn't what I expected. CAGED? Not just about the chord shapes. Who knew? I am 5 lessons in rn. I feel like I made a significant breakthrough just from those 5. It may be the way it's all presented idk. I think the way context is established is key. I practiced what I learned from the videos and for the first time I felt like it was actually going to happen, being a guitar player, I mean. I know that sounds like an ad. It ain't. Thanks EH. Looking forward to more.
Man what great tone!
Betts and Rossington heavily relied on the Caged system. Garcia, too. It works if you invert the chords, and use substitutions, otherwise it gets pretty dry. You have to really experiment with this system.
Lovely lesson - I wouldn't have found that cheeky Eb shape if I'd been working on this on my own!
Great overview. You just don’t need to strum a full 6 strings on an electric; that’s what acoustic guitars are for. It is soooo much easier when you realise - wait, I can play rhythm on 3 notes at a time.
Also, have you ever read anything about Michael Polanyi? I think you’d dig it. Philosophical theory of knowing stuff - the fancy term is subsidiary focal integration. But it basically means that To Know isn’t just (as you say) acquiring new info, it’s using little things in the foreground to “see past” them at a bigger, as-yet-hidden focus that integrates all those little hints and clues and then kind of becomes embodied.
oooh I like that!
That guitar looks and sounds gorgeous
this video has enlightened me
Great lesson!
Hi Eric, really enjoyed this lesson and had a couple lightbulb moments, thanks. One of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs too.
Intuitively, what I always knew but thought was cheating and taking the easy way out. The best YT guitar lesson ever!👍🏼 I'm now a subscriber.
Smart man !
Pure gold. Can't believe it's free.
Came for the firebird, stayed for the lesson. Great explanation and excited to rip apart every song I know and give this a go!
Great lesson, much love!
Shana Tova. Great lesson. Really ties it all together. Thank you.
I learned the CAGED system from you at TrueFire. i've been playing guitar for over 25 years, and you have no idea how much that helped me. Thank You! keep it up!
Great lesson sir
brilliant lesson sir thank you
Thanks for sharing how you play CAGED triad chord shapes - F Bbm Eb Db improvisation in your guitar soloing techniques. When playing in front of crowds they preferred to see you playing all over the guitar fretboard - this is my personal opinion which shapes to choose.
love that firebird
