When you said "try to get from tonic to tonic" it clicked for me. It gave me a target. I had been trying to get from caged shape to shape with scales. This is a great approach.
Makes perfect sense if you have some previous theory knowledge. I followed this and it all made good sense, but I can see how others might struggle with no background in how keys and scales are constructed.
wichita6 I have to agree....things are starting to come together for me learning the CAGED system.....but this video was a huge eye opener.....another big thank you !!
Thanks. I am trying to learn scales. I was so bogged down down in the details that I did not see the bigger picture ... until visiting your helpful overview. God material, well presented. Thanks!
Starting to figure it out. Thanks to your video, and others, it’s starting to make some sense. But you have explained well the Scale Patterns built around the CAGED system. Thanks!
The biggest reason people complain about not understanding any of this is because the dont take the time to start from the beginning then to this music theory is like a big book you need to read beginning to end you wouldn't start a book half way expecting to get the bigger picture and understanding of the end and conclusion would you? So do your research we live in a digital advanced age of endless free knowledge! I already understand this system along with 3nps as well I think the visual display and pictograms was very useful as a visual aide to further demonstrate the magic of the caged system and its layers excellent video!! :)
Wow, love the visual diagrams! It would really hit home to actually hear a note or 2 played along with some of the visuals. But then again, I don't have my guitar with me as I write this. Oh well. Thanks for the lesson!
Nice explanation, but I felt you rushed at the end of video, I can see how people could get confused if they don't understand the concepts. If you can learn it though, it's the best way to learn the guitar. Once you realise the pentatonic shapes are just a slightly reduced major / minor scale, it will start to click. .
Good explaining and detail I like your tutorial and you tutored with theory and practice, i ask you teach slowly not too quick that i know the method, i am a guitar beginner Ok my good friend thank you much Lord Jesus bless you hallelujah 🙏😊👌
Adam Long I guessed it so,... Nice work and appreciate the passion to share the best practices or knowledge it was great to see you start from "A"... Aplouse from India... Tc
This guy took a great concept that can be confusing and made it way more confusing. Watch Guthrie Trapp's videos the CAGED system is great changed my playing completely. You do need to know some theory not for pure beginners
Nice video content! Apologies for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you considered - Riddleagan Blossoming Solo Remedy (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great exclusive guide for mastering guitar scales without the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy at very last got cool success with it.
I am watching billions of caged videos over and over again but still can't grasp the actual tiny tiny details missing that would make me understand it fully. How am i supposed to "see" a shape when playing a scale and changing fingerings? (I am a pianist and I know the theory but...it just doesn't click here)
I'd recommend trying to hear it before you see it. Also, a scale is nothing more than the underlay for your expression. It simply provides you with a suggestion as to what's available. Try not to rely on the shapes, hear something that sounds good to you and figure out how to play it. Then use the shapes to figure out how to play it all over the fretboard. Do this enough and you begin to hear and see it while playing.
Try not looking at the shape in the scale but using the shapes as reference point to where your scales are interacting...The shapes are simply common chords that guitarist all know at the lower end of the fret board in different locations of the fret board....that spell out caged....even though in there new locations they are different chords......if you are a pianist in may not mean as much....the are simply reference points to help on keep organized with building a major scale.......The video actually helped this man a lot.
it is difficult because he is turning around and around around if you know what i mean, if he was explain the way it should be could turn it in very very easy way! the only thing that i guitarist should know is: Tone Tone semi Tone Tone Tone Tone semi Tone , sequence of intervals that you should know by heart, you can call this as DO RE ME FA SOL LA TI DO or 1234567 :D
Beginner guitarist .. Please don't look at this and be overwhelmed....it is the way its being presented that is confusing.... No disrespect to the author... the effort is appreciated.... but it can be explained in a more defined structured manner.... in spite of that.... the caged system will open up understanding of the guitar.....look for other teachings.... Desi Serna would be a great teacher to learn it from....
This is a great lesson. Nothing else on UA-cam I could find explained it so simply, the graphics were great too!
When you said "try to get from tonic to tonic" it clicked for me. It gave me a target. I had been trying to get from caged shape to shape with scales. This is a great approach.
One of the best pictures of the caged system I've seen. Thanks
Richard Stringer thanks so much.
That was a good explanation of caged...The only one I understood so far....Thank You
Concise,instructive,visionary,simple,critical concepts... Thanks
Wowww sir it's fantastic information
Thank you so much
Excellent lesson. This shows how CAGED and the scale are associated so helps tremendously with soloing. Thanks!
Learning the major scales with CAGED finally clicked into my neuro system with your systematic tutorial.
Thank you very much, as well as to You Tube.
WOW! You made the CAGED system so simple. Thank you. Can't wait for more lessons.
Makes perfect sense if you have some previous theory knowledge. I followed this and it all made good sense, but I can see how others might struggle with no background in how keys and scales are constructed.
Excellent explanation of the Caged system. Well done. Thanks.
Who needs Berklee when we have youtube! Thank you sir!
Incredibly helpful. Never fully understood CAGED before this. Thank you!
that made more since than the last 25 videos I have watched on the CAGED system - Thank you
Greetings from Africa

Brilliantly explained! Thanks.
Thanks Adam - A good explanation, clear and concise
Beautifully explained - Thanks!
Starting to figure it out. Thanks to your video, and others, it’s starting to make some sense. But you have explained well the Scale Patterns built around the CAGED system. Thanks!
Very useful... thanks for the help... greatly appreciated.
Dude this is the best way to ever explain this scary path to this level.....
Jeez that’s the first time I understood the CAGED system! Thanks
thank you for a great lesson!
This one did for me!, thanks for the clarifying animations!
Best explanation - thank you! demystified !
Excellent. Thanks.
Zabardast cheers from Toronto....
Interesting perspective here!
Excellent vid. Thanks
Nice job, thanks.
Thank you for this! such a simple break down.
wow! best explanation ever!

Educative a lot. Thanks a lot.
Exceptional!

💜💜💜 thank you finally I got it!!!
Love you man✌️
Thank you.
Hats off!!
wonderful
What APP do you uses for pointing the guitar fret???
Nice explanation, but I felt you rushed at the end of video, I can see how people could get confused if they don't understand the concepts.

Thank You very much! I am from Ukraine :)
God bless You!
Genius video
Thanks
Never knew what a major and c major actually looked like.
I'm still confused. Where should I start learning before this vid?
Thanks man really helped a lot !!!
What exactly is the caged system?
Better than lesson vids with 10x the views
i love you adam long
Great demo - very enlightening .. thx !!
Can u tell me what software you use to make such a smooth graphics ?
I used Camtasia to record, but I just used PowerPoint to make the graphics, timeline and animations. That't it.
Thx for the generous & speedy reply !
I need to watch this multiple times over. I just don't get it. That's why I'm shit at guitar.
Good explaining and detail
I like your tutorial and you tutored with theory and practice, i ask you teach slowly not too quick that i know the method, i am a guitar beginner
Ok my good friend thank you much
Lord Jesus bless you hallelujah 🙏😊👌
Hi all. just noticed a mistake with the fret board notes at fret 15, A_b
david john robinson thanks for that. You are right. On the G string all the notes from B and higher should be shift a fret up. Sorry y'all. At 3:25
This is hard to understand.
is the fretboard a program or is it something you created?
Real Juicey I made it in PowerPoint actually.
Ok cheers, thanks for letting me know
Adam Long I guessed it so,... Nice work and appreciate the passion to share the best practices or knowledge it was great to see you start from "A"... Aplouse from India... Tc
I been playing 16 months ...and this was missing it took 4.23 to click....thank u..i think people leave one thing out of everything to confuse
The light bulb almost turned on. I believe I'll get it after a few more views. Thank you.
This guy took a great concept that can be confusing and made it way more confusing. Watch Guthrie Trapp's videos the CAGED system is great changed my playing completely. You do need to know some theory not for pure beginners
Wait, WHAT!?
Me too LOL
what did santa claus say when he was learning the major scale? WHOLE WHOLE WHOLE! ok, hold ur applause.
Nice video content! Apologies for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you considered - Riddleagan Blossoming Solo Remedy (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great exclusive guide for mastering guitar scales without the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy at very last got cool success with it.
Think I’m gonna stick to playing those first chords you learn when you start playing guitar....
I had u until u added all the grey notes
hirap

find secret guitar teacher, best explanation of the CAGED system that I found any where.
Watching it now! Thanks for the lead))
