    A friend of mine introduced me caged almost an year ago when I started studying solo guitar (was a vocalist and rythm guitar player) nowadays I can solo and improvise over everything (sounds corny sometimed lol), thats how powerful it is, and theres much more to learn because as you said, apllying scales to it and bringing everything together really takes time but its rewarding. Amazing content :) very smooth to hear/learn music theory from you.

      The guitar is a complex instrument,but its' complexity doesn't need to be that complicated. If you don't know what a mode is you didn't do your basic scale theory. So it's complicated. As will be things like the circle of 4ths and 5ths, Knowing your intervals, building chords and scales. Learning your way round your fret board.
      If you skip the first chapters of a book then the plot won't make so much sense. If you read the chapters in the right order more will make sense.

The E major shape comes from the E major open chord that beginners learn. the reason why we say is a A major chord with the E shape is because you simply move that open chord up the fret, but barred instead. i hope this helps. if not, look up barre chords and how they work (assuming you already know youre open chords)

    Caged is the holy grail of guitar playing. It literally is what FINALLY unlocked the guitar for me. Caged can be applied to EVERYTHING on the guitar. It covers all the modes, it bridges over to Melodic minor etc, it helps understand the intervals, it helps with chord inversions; just all around great road map for understanding the guitar. Mastering the caged system will definitely help lay the foundation for much more advanced music theory concepts, because it allows you to understand where the notes are at any given time while playing.

I smiled when i see it was uploaded 12 hours ago :) its all happening in the same day seemed like a miracle to me, anyways..
