The “CAGED System” Explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 січ 2024
- I’m doing my best to explain what is now called the “CAGED system”. To me it’s not a system at all. It’s the ultimate concrete foundation of the guitar from the very beginning. Period.
Everything that’s ever been played is connected to this foundation. It’s not new and it’s not changing and it’s not going away. The faster you get into this the faster you’ll improve on every level.
Have fun with it and don’t forget to use your ears!

Guthrie Trapp
Turn on your phone and be yourself. It’s golden. We are super fortunate you give us a few minutes of guitar wisdom and practical application.
Guthrie Taggart we need some new info from ya its been the same caged lesson for 2 yrs now
At least get his name right!
In a sea of channels that just show sponsored/new gear content; its refreshing watching your channel of actual playing!
Cmon Guthrie there’s clearly an old Duo Sonic right behind you 😂
The appeal to me of your videos is that they are unscripted, unedited and authentic. I'm a guitar player and guitar related info is why I'm here. Unless you learn to survive setting your hair on fire every week you will probably continue to attract musicians and not casual viewers. I'm glad you know your lane and you stay in it. Of all the UA-cam music teachers I've watched (dozens over the years) you have been my biggest influence. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Dude the simplicity of this explanation is legendary, it's switched on a massive light bulb and connected so many things. Thank you for sharing...!!!
Finally a REAL opinion on what most people try to pass off as a BIG secret
I literally click on any of your videos to just simply hear you "noodle"...that's some damn good pasta
Motivated, inspired and heartbroken.. all in one video! Amazing to witness that, and in the best setting relatable to the rest of us... sitting in a room, alone, trying to figure that instrument out! Your lesson was pure gold for me. Thank you.
Dude you just keep being you... No frills, just meat and potatoes. Thats why we dig you man! We will hang out someday dammit!
Blown away you only have two guitars. Love your videos, keeps me going. Thank you so much
Stay in your own lane!!… love it buddy. I don’t cut my own hair, I don’t do my own dental work…I can text, take pictures and make phone calls on my phone… I just want to play guitar and fun doing it!
You could cut your hair a little each day and it would be your land. Just be consistent
Brother I'd rather listen to you record on your iPhone then 97% of these other guys out there! You keep doing you cause at the end of the day you need to be able to close your eyes and open your ears for this stuff! I hope to see the trio tomorrow night my friend as I will be in town! Keep putting out those sweet sweet sound waves my friend!
Agree 100% 👊
This is absolute gold to someone learning the instrument. In fact to any guitar player, except uncle Larry ; )
I have tried to learn and understand CAGED for years. It was never explained to me more than just the C chord voicings up the neck. I have learned more from three of your videos than I have in years of lessons. Thank you!
Jack Ruch has great videos on this subject also
THANK YOU, GT! Your explanation, and the fact you share all of this wonderful information with us is SO appreciated!! To all who struggle with this, just keep at it, your playing WILL go next level if you put just a little bit of time into this kind of study. Seriously, just 15 minutes of playing with purpose per day will have you understanding this stuff all over the fret board. The thing that helped me the most is learn all the shapes in one key first. (I started with C) Do that and nothing else until you can play that comfortably up and down the neck in all the shapes. Then add the fifth of that key and play those two keys in all of the shapes and nothing else. In just a couple of weeks you won't believe how much knowledge of the guitar you'll have. Outstanding stuff I wish I knew 30 years ago!! God bless you, GT and everyone embarking on this amazing journey!! 🤠👍
Great VId! Should have been titled "Cave Man Shit" though!! 🤣🤣
My playing has grown exponentially since finding GT's vids here on the UA-cam. I am signing up for his Artist works stuff as it is mind blowing to be able to watch a vid like this and his last one and be able to start ripping Samba-like solos and rhythms. I cannot wipe the smile off my face. Thanks as always GT. You make us all better guitarists.
To me … you and Tom are my go to guys for inspiration. You have both revived the love of guitar for many players that lost their way. Appreciate you guys.
Who is Tom? Does he have UA-cam channel??
@eduardopanameno3988 Tom Bukiovac. Uncle Larry. He has a youtube channel. Phenomenal.
@@iantaylor827 thank you very much!
Big question is when is the album going to be released?
You can say that again. The jam they did on Brret Papa's channel turned me on to these cats and everything else J have seen from Tom and Guthrie continues to blow me away while teaching me something more about something that I thought I knrw if teaching something new altogether. I have been playing for 40 years and thought I was pretty decent until I watch these guys who not only have chops but the best chordal and melodic vocabularies this side of the Steely Dan sessions players.
Huge fan. Thanks for sharing Guthrie
Love your playing Guthrie
Mind blown!!!!! Thank you Guthrie!!!
I love your videos Guthrie. Straight ahead and no editing is great.
Guthrie really appreciate these videos. Going back to the basics has really improved my playing immensely
Always interesting, never boring. Much respect Guthrie...
Brother, your videos are perfect, never change!
Thank you Guthrie for sharing your gift and your honesty.
Man I love that you’re posting on UA-cam more. Keep ‘em coming!!!
Guthrie, your instructional videos are some of the best I've ever watched. I've been playing guitar for 16 years and I know that I'll always be learning something incredibly useful whenever I flip to your channel. I highly prefer your barebones approach to making videos as well. There's no need to worry about "high production value" when it comes to this sort of thing. Much love!
I'm just gonna keep on working the shapes until you tell me something new and fancy has come along. Cheers Guthrie!
There is nothing new and fancy without that. Trust me.
You’re the best, Guthrie. Your channel is a pot of gold and your videos are perfect as they are. We learn so much from you and your talent and generosity. Don’t change a thing ever!
Thanks for all this, Guthrie.
So lucky to get professional advice and lessons for free. Really is much appreciated Guthrie, you've made me a better player
Such a great lesson. Things are starting to click on a different level after years. Thanks Guthrie!
The best UA-cam guitar resource for keeping yourself on track.
New subscriber here. This guy is the real deal. Been playing for over 40 years. Realizing I have so much to learn. 😂. I’m gonna dig into this channel. There’s no way it won’t help me to get better. Love it.
So refreshing to have someone give basic, fundamental musical information in an unpretentious easy to understand way. And your observation about UA-cam videos, editing etc. etc. certainly resonates. Thanks for all the time you spend helping us be better players.
Grateful for GT's time - impactful!
Thanks for the honesty Guthrie! good explanation and time on the instrument.No one can play what they can not here.Learning the instrument is the key here.A.M. Love hearing about your life in music.
You're the man. Thanks for the continued knowledge and willingness to share.
GT, youre the MAN! These videos help so much. The guitargate masterclasses...amazing. its a dose of real talk! Love it all and theres always so much hilarity!
Keep it up!
You’re hitting the sweet spot for your audience GT. I’m enjoying the lessons, the music, and looking forward to BFG stories!!!
Amen, simple and effective. Your videos are straight no chaser. We appreciate you
You're awesome GT!
Thanks for the lesson!!
Guthrie thank you! These lessons help a lot bro, man o man. I'm gonna come see you at the bitter end in March!🤙😉
Those chord inversions encourage us to play in a tasteful and melodic way. NEVER a bad thing for guitar players. Lol
Guthrie. You are some player - been watching a lot of your live playing which is just amazaing - and some of the stuff you show us on this channel is gold. Thanks a lot.
Excellent GT Excellent!
Love the honesty!
You set a high standard in everything you play and everything you are Guthrie. Polishing the presentation would detract from what we love about you. Thank you for your generosity
The lightbulb just went on for me! I feel like the shroud is lifted and I finally get it. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, chops, and for generously giving of yourself and your valuable time! Not to mention that you seem to be good human being. God bless!
You, Tom Bukovac, and Ask Zac are my top 3 UA-cam guitar channels to watch because of everything you mentioned. Thank you for doing you! Great lesson btw.
Great opening. Thank you
Thx GT! You make a great one take instructional video.
Guthrie, your videos are so helpful to me, a long time guitar picker that had no clue why I do what I do on the fret board. I am very grateful for the content you provide!
Hey man. Subscribed to your channel. Really enjoyed this video. You say its overwhelming and there is a lot.. But it was really cool to see all the inversions in 1 video. I think I am gonna watch this video quite a few times. Many thanks.
It's all about the content of the videos and your content /lessons are absolutely the best.
Watching you is like how I learned to play 50+ yrs ago back when there was no UA-cam, digital media, etc. The "Mel Bay" era. But I learned from listening to or watching good players and copying what they played. The mimicking came fast, understanding what I am doing continues today. And with that, you are a great help. I am a huge fan, GT!
The videos are perfect brother…
Just awesome . 👏
Guthrie you are the real deal. Love your honesty and your jammin' guitar playing! Keep it up.
I love you Guthrie! 🏴🏴👏👏
This is awesome. Playing all the changes in one position is now my learning goal.
Great video. Very helpful. Thank you
Hey Guthrie. Your videos look great! No need for any fancy cameras or editing. It's the player and the content that make all the difference. Speaking of CAGED, I've been working really diligently to get this under my fingers. A great player, like you makes it look and sound easy, but it really takes time and effort to make it so fluid. Thanks! 😎
Don’t let anybody get you down, I like the way you do stuff.
The most useful explanation I have heard on the topic. Thank you.
THIS STUFF IS WHAT MAKING MUSIC IS ABOUT!!! THANKS FOR SHARING GT!!!
GT you are an inspiration, Man - leading by example. We're looking forward to seeing you when you get up here to NY.
Definitely my favourite UA-cam channel
Never apologise! You’re the man! Would love you to talk about how you hold the pick, angle across the strings, and how light etc to get such good tone ❤. Keep em coming maestro
Nice lesson you nailed the explanation and demystified “CAGED” so I just can get on with playing it opposed to thinking more about it-look forward to more lessons
That intro was amazing
Hands downs best guitar teacher Period!
I agree. He really breaks it down brilliantly and clearly.
Great intro . Compelling explanation of Caged idea ! A bell went off for me. Thank you
Great player, Great lesson, Great guy! More power to you bro, many thanks
Hey Guthrie thanks for being real and sharing your life knowledge in the guitar. With all due respect, I hope you are blessed with a signature guitar. I tried the J rocket GTO and love it so I'd love to see a guitar in any form that meets your specs and prefs. Much respect, Brotha!
Best guitar videos on UA-cam!👍🏻
thanks for focussing on guitar!
I gotta say how much I’ve enjoyed your content lately. I’ve been playing off and on for 15 years & watching your stuff has really got me interested & motivated to pick up the guitar again for 20-30 mins a day. And I can tell the difference.
Hold on to payday, but I’m gonna buy you a beer or two.
Could you do a video on common chord progressions? Whether 251 or 146 etc.
Tom, Jedd, Guthrie! ❤ Thank you!
Great info. This knowledge really expands your guitar playing, and learning all the chords in relation to your scales. It probably takes years to master but even starting down the road makes you seem light years ahead of where you were.
I love the way you play! Any chance you plan to do any shows on tour in Iowa or do I need to schedule a trip to Nashville?
GT, remember to point out the way that the Cowboy “C” puzzle plugs into the “A” which the connects directly into the “G” shape. And that is how the word CAGED actually falls out - sequentially!
Personnally, I watch and learn from the guitar work and musicianship that I hear and see on this channel. What we get here is straight/to the point/no bullshit advice and lessons from someone that knows his shit...so...THANK YOU!!
I learned a lot from that. Thank you sir.
Thanks for another really interesting and useful lesson. You always have a fabulous tone from the your guitars and amps. In a future video, cam you talk a bit about the pedals, amps etc. that you're using in your videos? Thanks!
Love it GT! Where’s the best place to go to find your exact fingerings of the different inversions up the neck?
I know you put a lot of work to this video . Thank you so much for all your hard work. I really appreciate it
The best instruction out there.
Thanks so very much! This is already opening my eyes just working the C shape up the neck and being able to intuitively see and play the scales. I am excited to work toward being able to better navigate a melody through a 1 4 5 with efficiency!
thanks for this video, when I learned the caged system I already knew the pentatonic scales pretty much all over. when i learned the caged system, it really opened up guitar for me, and kinda connected everything for me in a way.
Exactly
Spitting out some guitar wisdom here much appreciated GT
I first learned about the CAGED system in a 1974 Guitar Player magazine monthly column by Howard Roberts. Howard said that his friend Jack Marshall invented the CAGED system. Perhaps Marshall just arranged the 5 open string chords to spell CAGED. Seems, like Guthrie says, that the concept was probably around long before that.
I have rediscovered Billy Gibbons. Those early ZZ Top albums sound so good.
You are so refreshing for us intermediate players, you don't bore us to death like many others.
Thanks so much brother for your sharing your brilliant licks and knowledge. God bless ❤
Great guitarists taking the time to explain things to we mortals.. Its just pure awesomeness!
Appreciate your lessons and your love of guitar, you and Uncle Larry are the best.I gotta go to Nashville and see you at the Underdog🎸❤🎸🙏
That intro was f'n musical.
