      It has always been quite simple. Some ppl just like to make things complicated when they explain them.
      I guess they think it makes them seem smart, or whatever.
      Sorry you had to go through that.
      It's really very simple, and once you learn it, it becomes more obvious. Then, the things it unlocks, like pairing it with the pentatonic shapes, all of a sudden you know your way around the fretboard.
      Then suddenly you can easily solo and improvise!
      Just follow the shapes, you can switch back & forth between chords & fills...
      Ah, so releasing!
      You're suddenly an advanced guitar player! All you need to do now is practice, so you're comfortable doing it without thinking about it.
      I tell you, once I got to this point, then when I'd pick up my guitar, I'd think of a melody. I could just plant my left hand on the strings and play the first note that was in my head!
      Then all I had to do is picture a shape and I could play the melody that was in my head.
      Such freedom!
      It advanced my progress tremendously!
      Good luck to you!

    Thanks, Marco!
    Learning the pentatonic shapes associated with the CAGED shapes has really advanced my playing, my confidence, and my ability to improvise!
    Such freedom! I didn't know I'd ever get here!
    It also makes learning new songs SO MUCH quicker & easier!
    It's like i know how to play everything quicker.

I believe that at 15.57 you refer to the Bb when it is actually the note B. If I am wrong then I apologise unreservedly. thank you again.

    I think EDCAG-7; all Dominant 7 chords and start on E just like the guitar. I associate those 5 chords to Mixolydian + the Blues scale: 1-2-b3/3-4-b5-5-6-b7. Even b2/b6/7 can be used chromatically. Only ever go from b3 up to 3, into a Dominant 7 chord tone.

    I am having trouble understanding this CAGED system. I've internalized the entire fretboard and know each note on the fret board. There is a tutorial on YT that shows you one shape and from that shape you can play any mode (major, Dorian, minor, lydion, etc...) In any key. With a little bit of music theory, I can also, figure out all the scales and chords that belong to that scale.
    So, now if I want to play say a Dorian scale in the key of F. I use the shape to find the notes. With a small understanding of music theory, I can figure out the chords that belong to that scale in the key of F. Then I just make my own melodies over chord progressions.
    For me the 🤯 moment was when I internalized the fret board. After that my guitar playing was exponentially better. I highly recommend everyone learn their fretboard. CAGED system seems to be popular and sounds good. However, once you know how scales and chords are constructed. At that point does the CAGED system even matter? Would it be more beneficial to learn the foundations of music theory of how chords and scales are constructed?

    • @theartfuldodger935
      @theartfuldodger935 3 місяці тому

      Look at each open chord (C-A-G-E-D). Where is the fretted root? (exclude the roots found on the open strings) The location of the root dictates which CAGED chord shape you play. That's it. That's all it is. You're right. Learn your fretboard notes, find your roots and then form the chord and any associated scale around that root using the intervals (1-3-5-7b ... whatever, plus any other applicable scale notes).

    @paddyobrien4321 7 місяців тому +2

    Hey man. This is really helpful. Just wanted to ask this question. I understand how the three notes of a triad can be found in the CAGED shapes across the neck. But in the context of soloing over chord changes by playing the pentatonic scale (or major scale), and highlighting chord tones as you go via the memorised CAGED shapes, is there a fast way to know where your fingers need to go to play this same CAGED pattern but for the next chord of a different degree (say the V chord instead of the I)?
    Like, if you were playing in G major and playing G in the E major shape and then go to a D chord and you have to quickly work out what chord shape to play that will suit the new chord within the same fret range that you've been playing in, is there a way to know what chord shape should be used for the next chord (say a V chord; D) quickly without having memorised it beforehand? (Maybe by using the circle of fifths? I don't know)

    • @m.vonhollen6673
      @m.vonhollen6673 4 місяці тому +1

      Here’s what I learned: there’s 3 Dominant 7 shapes in each of the 5 positions. So E7/A7/B7 at open position and the 12th fret; then D7/G7/A7 at frets 2-5; C7/F7/G7, frets 4-8; A7/D7/E7, frets 7-10; and G7/C7/D7, frets 9-12.
      Play over an E7/A7/B7 Blues and use those “shapes” to solo over it in each of the 5 positions. - I hope this helps!

I was watching a bunch of chord tone targeting in solos in other YTubers and get all really confused until your tutorial here. Please shed some light in this subject. Thanks Marco!

    Is it possible you could make a quick video of you making the backing track to play over? I just seem to strum the chords and they never sound like those I find in videos such as yours. Are you strumming the major 7 chord or plucking the strings all together to get a different sound ?

      those are the basic root position voicings for maj7 chords starting from the 5th string and are the ones he uses in the video. the second voicing he uses for the fmaj7 later on in the video is x-x-3-5-5-5 (barring the top three strings with the pinky)
