Good video - kind of teaching CAGED without teaching CAGED. One thing I picked up on lately that is helpful too is your E, A, and D shapes all have the same structure of 5, 1, 3 with the 3rd being on the high string. This is cool to keep in mind because you might want to manipulate the 3rd and it's always the high string for those shapes.
I never learned the notes on the fret board beyond the low E and A string. Never realized how much that was holding me back. Haven’t seriously played in a couple years, been feeling it lately.
Great video! You can actually reduce basic triad chords to twelve shapes. Pick one of four string sets (EAD, ADG, DGB, GBE), pick one of three voicings (135, 351, 513). 3 x 4 = 12. Easy to learn and memorise (most if not all of those are parts of basic CAGED shapes, as shown in the video) and your armed to the teeth with chord shapes to play all over the fretboard for more interesting rhytmic playing, riff composing and chord soloing. That's also a greay gateway to jazz, if you're into that.
That awesome thanks! I know cage and I've done music theory and my e and a shape barre chords but I stopped there and even though I knew the caged system I never really thought about it till now! Thanks so much for this video!
You missed one of my favorites - bottom 4 strings of a G voicing - for G major it would be x-x-12-12-12-15 played barring the 12th fret with your index and pinky on the high E
Thank you for pointing out the higher voicing to play with another guitar or piano. I play piano as well. How do you and your buddy play with both piano and guitar without a muddy sound? Is there more than just one way?
Hi Jagannatha, You have to start memorizing the notes on the guitar strings. Here is a video to help you with that. ua-cam.com/video/llQpy_9ti5Y/v-deo.html
what does one do if they can not finger a g major chord ' d shape ? i dont mean cant do it now from lack of practice or trying , I mean if your hands dont have the stretch . I have MANY thousands of hours of practice to increase stretch of fingers and I cant even use my first and 2nd finger to play 2 finger power chords on E & A string clearly and it hurts even playing it poorly , let alone that emtire chord shape. I had similar issues with martial arts where stretching does NOT create flexibility like it might in others . Apparently my connective tissue / body structure is atypical and the axiom of time and practice in regards to stretcing does not apply to me for certain things. Apparently my lack of flexibility correlates to strength in regards to power and stamina of strength as a trade off which is useful in fighting and I can practice guitar for ( NO B.S. ) 10 hours straight without stopping without hands / jpoints getting tired . I practiced 10 hours a day ( over a holiday ) after first guitar lesson when given tabs for a- minor pentatonic and when my instructor returned 2 weeks later was gob smacked that I was shredding but my stretch is 4 frets with first finger anchored and after 20 years and RIDICULOUS amounts of effort to over come this its not happening . I have had similar issues with other things where effort + time does not = outcome and I want to punch or LOW kick people when they say this, I say low kick because attempting higher kicks send me high into the air like Charlie Brown where I end up vertical in air and land on my back . Certain parts of my body are flexible and will increase by stretching but certain parts and movements gain very little or none . NO LACK OF TRYING OR PERSISTANCE . NOT EVERYBODY IS THE SAME. When i watch 70 pound little girls with tiny fingers finger certain things and get their hands to do stuff I think WTF is my problem ? My hands are NOT small . They are above average size . I am 5 8 210 pounds and neither small nor fat and my fingers are NOT short nor are they excessively sausage like . Size 13 shoes . I ALSO have ZERO FLEX in the top of my finger joints . The first bend in my index finger does does not move backwards to do a double stop like so many great guitar players fingers I have noticed where the finger bends in a way to fret 2 strings without interference / deadening other strings . My pinky was SUPER EXTRA STUBBORN co ordination wise and NO B.S. MANY THOUSANDS of hours of practice and playing with attention to pinky to get it to be useful and I must keep it up or pinky is stupid . There is an idea that loose joints = some loss of power even if it helps with range of motion and perhaps speed in certain things . I can do 100 push ups in row and some other things most 56 year olds cant let alone people in general without insane training but my flexibility SUCKS and I dont know what to do about it in regards to guitar . I have SOME work arounds for some things but something like tghis shape is IMPOSSIBLE . I was / an a fan of Randy Rhodes as a kid and he is like some of the young Asian Girls I see doing things I can not even approach which made me think I was not trying hard enough but I am past that fallacy now but frustrated none the less . Many people play guitar just using open chords and simple shapes mostly so I wont quit but its a drag when your body refuses to do stuff and you appear " normal " and in tact and people say just KEEP doing it until you can after much time and effort . Again I have noticed that many guitar players are what is called double jointed ( misnomer ) . I can NEVER get anybody to answer me in real life or internet . I believe its because most people are not stubborn like I am and those witgh my ' condition " wash out of playing or give up so it SEEMS like EVEYBODY CAN increase flexibility and stretch but I think those that cant just quit and believe they are lazy .
you should be able to make that C Major open shape (TONIC) as a reference....instead of using a CAPO...use your INDEX to barr.. play the other notes with other fingers.... becuase KEYS are just PITCH.. example...play the B minor barr chord shape...lift you PINKY to the the D note....whalla....D Major... Since Basic chords are just EVERY other NOTE... D, F, A........B, D,F = B dim. Play the D min or F,3, 6 ( inverted D min)...Stack the B note below it on the A string.... Make the E min7 bar chord shape ( 7th fret)..Barr completly across.. Play the F note..on the A string.You might have to shuffle your finger.. Play the F note with your but that's B Half diminished Make the E7...with low B note barr. That's the B FULL dimished If you play the E dim ( Make the C maj7 ( ROOT on 10th , D string. Play the Bb note instead,,,it's an easy chord to make.. barr completely across the 7th fret... It's B sus4 maj7....The Bb note is from the (N6) or E dim... They're ALL MOVE ABLE CHords... If play that at the OPEN/NUT... if you know what you're doing...you can easily play D harmonic min...melodic min..ect D Harmonic min b2 ( N6) is the Eb note... If you get lost...simply play the Eb maj7 barr chord, ( EASY) You'll have the option of playing C whatever..or C min in F MAJOR/Dmin...it's C7....the N6 will help cycle down to the 4th or to C min...or you can alter the Dominant of MAJOR to minor...( for cadence..ect) It's simply a REVERSE process,,,you're PUSHING DOWN...or CYCLING down to the 4th..instead of Pushing UP..A7 into D minor. or even,,,,play D min...Eb Maj7 to C min...G min..F min E dim to D min again if you want....Notice, I alter I, V chords MAJOR...to min
My strings on the first fret are close to the board just as it should be but I can't imagine playing after 12th fret can someone help? I tried moving the truss rod but it didn't move easily and I'm afraid breaking something
I didn't understand.... I got it that you can find the same note several time on the guitar, and since chords are just grouped set of notes, you should be finding the same chords at different places, but why do they sound so different ? aren't they supposed to be the same chord ? (G)
cool, make a video plike this for all the basic chords. then we would be at least chord masters. that would get you millions of views hahaha. I hate having to watch a thousand + videos to learn guitar omg.
I have a question regarding the placement of a chord shape. So If i made an E major chord is it called the same if i put a capo on e.g. the 3rd fret and did an E major chord shape ? does it still sound like an E major or does it differ ? i know the shape are similar but do they sound the same but with higher octave ? Is it for simplicity that we call it an E major shape ? while in actuality it is a different chord ?" new to music theory"
Hey Mohammed, The shape stays the same but the actual chord name changes. Putting a capo on the 3rd fret and playing an E shape will give you a G major chord that uses the E shape.
Is everyone aware of the Orange Tree Samples GROUP BUY now on? It's 50% Off and will increase to 60% Off everything (with a few more people). ALL of their instruments included. Some REALLY GREAT guitars, imo. Check it out.

This was outstanding. Just using the open chords makes songs sound the same, this is super cool
I love how you just give us the info we need instead of choking us with your life story for 15 mins. Amazing video.
Very simplified, honest, and no frills. Great video.
Awesome video
Thanks but can you also make a video about minor chord shapes ?
Works the same way. Just move the 3rd by half step to make it a flat 3rd.
I was playing those same shapes again and again but never new that there are so many different voicing within those chord shapes.
Thanks Nate
FINALLY SOMEONE EXPLAINS IT IN PLAIN DIRECT DETAIL...... "MOVABLE NUT" BRILLIANT!
Real good instruction, you get right to the point, no long explanation before getting into the instruction. Thanks Much
Good video - kind of teaching CAGED without teaching CAGED.

O M G THANK UUUU
I never learned the notes on the fret board beyond the low E and A string. Never realized how much that was holding me back. Haven’t seriously played in a couple years, been feeling it lately.
Much better way to explain the caged system to new guitarist, great job brother 👊
Your new series on scales using G Major was also amazing .
My eyes have been opened...
Really appreciate it dude, such a simple concept that I've never learned.
Good stuff
Great video. Made it easy to understand and learn.
Thanks for lesson! Inversions. 3:00
That's cool man, I always thought of a barre as a moveable nut. It's cool to see someone else teach it the same way.
Good video Nate. Great info for all guitar players, newbies as well as intermediate players.
Great video! You can actually reduce basic triad chords to twelve shapes. Pick one of four string sets (EAD, ADG, DGB, GBE), pick one of three voicings (135, 351, 513). 3 x 4 = 12.

Nice! Great lesson Nate, such a neat way to get folks to learn the CAGED system...
basically the caged method
Thanks for putting this out! Very helpful.
That awesome thanks! I know cage and I've done music theory and my e and a shape barre chords but I stopped there and even though I knew the caged system I never really thought about it till now! Thanks so much for this video!
You are welcome. I'm glad you dug it.
You missed one of my favorites - bottom 4 strings of a G voicing - for G major it would be x-x-12-12-12-15 played barring the 12th fret with your index and pinky on the high E
Thank you very much Dear, it sounds well for sure
Thank You.
Thanks lad from Ireland great info cheers and take care !!! Brian
U've got some really nice videos man good job keep it up.
This is an excellent lesson to offer empowerment and independence to learning guitarists.
Much love. Christ be to all.
Is there a book you can recommend where it shows you different ways to play the same chord in different locations on the fretboard/neck?
You explain very well 🙏🏽
Quite resourceful
Thank you
great teacher
This is a handy reference
Great video thanks
Thank you for sharing
Than you boss great video
EXCELLENT TEACHER!!!
Thanks Nate for this lesson .
Looking good, Nate..
Thank you for pointing out the higher voicing to play with another guitar or piano. I play piano as well. How do you and your buddy play with both piano and guitar without a muddy sound? Is there more than just one way?
A great lesson! Thank you so much 🙏👌🏻
Thanks for this nice explanation!
Do you still have the chord chart? Link on website is broken. Thank you!
Great lesson!
Excellent thank you
Awesome lesson, thank you.....
Thanks for checkin' it out. :)
Always good brother!!!
That was a good lesson
When you say "Move it up until your root notes are on a G", how do you know where that is?
Jagannatha Dasa look up chromatic scale.. it’ll help you out
Hi Jagannatha, You have to start memorizing the notes on the guitar strings. Here is a video to help you with that. ua-cam.com/video/llQpy_9ti5Y/v-deo.html

When u move the C shape you dont have to barre all the strings. Only up to the 3th one, which is easier and stresses your hand less.
But I see it more helpful (for me as a beginner), for it can be easy to move to any E shape barre chords
You're right but if you play country folk or blues you are going to need it all the way across for your "walking bass"
you should be able to make that C Major open shape (TONIC)
as a reference....instead of using a CAPO...use your INDEX to barr..
play the other notes with other fingers....
becuase KEYS are just PITCH..
example...play the B minor barr chord shape...lift you PINKY
to the the D note....whalla....D Major...
Since Basic chords are just EVERY other NOTE...
D, F, A........B, D,F = B dim.
Play the D min or F,3, 6 ( inverted D min)...Stack the B note below it on the A string....
Make the E min7 bar chord shape ( 7th fret)..Barr completly across..
Play the F note..on the A string.You might have to shuffle your finger..
Play the F note with your
but that's B Half diminished
Make the E7...with low B note barr. That's the B FULL dimished
If you play the E dim ( Make the C maj7 ( ROOT on 10th , D string.
Play the Bb note instead,,,it's an easy chord to make..
barr completely across the 7th fret...
It's B sus4 maj7....The Bb note is from the (N6)
or E dim...
They're ALL MOVE ABLE CHords...
If play that at the OPEN/NUT...
if you know what you're doing...you can easily play D harmonic min...melodic min..ect D Harmonic min b2 ( N6) is the Eb note...
If you get lost...simply play the Eb maj7 barr chord, ( EASY)
You'll have the option of playing C whatever..or C min
in F MAJOR/Dmin...it's C7....the N6 will help cycle down to the 4th
or to C min...or you can alter the Dominant of MAJOR to minor...( for cadence..ect)
It's simply a REVERSE process,,,you're PUSHING DOWN...or CYCLING
down to the 4th..instead of Pushing UP..A7 into D minor.
or even,,,,play D min...Eb Maj7 to C min...G min..F min E dim to D min again if you want....Notice, I alter I, V chords MAJOR...to min
My strings on the first fret are close to the board just as it should be but I can't imagine playing after 12th fret can someone help? I tried moving the truss rod but it didn't move easily and I'm afraid breaking something
I never heard this caged technique before...
What taylor model is your acoustic guitar? It sounds nice
There are many more...I play regional mexican music
Very cool!
Wow
Which region of Mexico?
Great lesson! I just subscribed.
I didn't understand.... I got it that you can find the same note several time on the guitar, and since chords are just grouped set of notes, you should be finding the same chords at different places, but why do they sound so different ? aren't they supposed to be the same chord ? (G)

How to build freaking finger dexterity
Hello sir I'm having difficulty playing F major can u please make a video on that.
Hi Nikesh, Give this video a watch. ua-cam.com/video/TqQYcYHF52o/v-deo.html
Hey! Why didn't you call him Sir Nikesh?! Respect is a give and take.
This called CAGE system
Nice 👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Learn your CAGED shapes, kids
i guarantee that you are super beginner and act as if you know everything.
@@bankaitmg3419 What? Lol. Why are you threatened by my comment?
Bankai Tmg - someone sounds like they don't know their CAGED shapes
AHAAA!!! SNEAKY GUITAR PLAYERS
😊❤
So you can play g? Are you sure you have mastered the g chord?
I though I had big decently sized hands bruh.
3 years ago not 2.
