Hi Clayton: I've just started learning triads and your lesson on Beast of Burden opened up a whole new world for me to explore. Very detailed explanation. Thanks for the lesson. Loved it.
What nobody tells beginners is the most important part. It's called CAGED because that is the order of the shapes. This is why it's not G E A D C or A, D, E, G, C or however a song goes. In other words the open C Maj being first, the next place to play a C Maj is the Open A Shape, next place up the neck to play a C Maj is open G shape and so on up to E. (barred of course) Another way to teach it is using a capo to drive the concept home. Also no one explains that underneath each shape is the scale. So if one understands this, they can visualize the fretboard up and down the whole neck. And be able to play up and down the entire neck. Everyone points out the shapes but fails to mention that the order of the shapes is the most important part. C,A,G,E,D. Because it strings the whole key (in this case C Maj) all the way up the neck and starting over at the 12th fret. Once beginners know this, they will naturally see how Beast of Burden or any song can be played in a lot of positions. Bonus points for knowing the parent scale of modes. And the order of modes in a major scale. Especially minor (Aeolian). Hint it's on the circle of fifths. I hope this helps someone. It certainly changed my life.
By thinking you need to explain that the E "shape" played on the 7th fret isn't E highlights the difficulty people have explaining the CAGED method. Have had someone ask me to play E on 7th fret, so of course played E, with root on 5th string. "NO, E!" was the response. "That is E". "NO IT ISNT, that's A!" Of course what he meant was "play B, 7th fret, root on 6th string", but not what he said.
For learning purposes, I did some stem separation (AI) so you can hear the isolated guitar from this track - ua-cam.com/video/uvPLKLP0tXQ/v-deo.htmlsi=tcxF43uEpM1XkgRJ (I was amazed it uploaded OK, but it seems the Rolling Stones allow their music to be uploaded to UA-cam... thanks Mick and Keith :)
Very nice lesson. I had hoped it was a bit more about how to play the song itself. There seems a trend on alternate chord voicing or even triads that I think is brilliant. Here your lesson really shines. In my hopelessly novice ability I think there is HUGE benefit to be shown the alternate voicings. Personally, I have had songs shown in the traditional approach be very hard, but playable when shown alternatives, huge help.
Glad it was helpful! I find that those big full caged shapes are rarely played, apart from the normal "barre chords" which is just an "E Shape." These smaller alternate voicings are much more useable and pop up all over the place in music
I love the way Keith and Ronnie weave their guitars together around these chords. Always one of my fave Stones songs.
Yes! They worked together in such a cool way. Definitely one of my favorite guitar duos in a band together.
This is an excellent lesson! 👍🎸🎼
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this lesson!!! ❤️🔥🎸❤️🔥
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
This is a goldmine lesson! As an instructor myself, I wish that more students were excited about this kind of stuff. It's so important!
Thanks for commenting! I definitely try to inspire my students to be interested in ideas like this, but it can be tough!

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad to hear it was helpful. Keep at it! Triads are so cool and are a great way to move around the neck
No one ever teaches cage after the initial shapes are established. This is awesome!!
Cool! Hope it was useful!

Great lesson and nicely explained. Cheers
Thanks for watching!
Great lesson. Your guitar was way hotter than your mic. I had to keep adjusting my volume throughout this video. You are a great teacher.
Thanks for the feedback! Working on getting those things right for the future. And thanks for the kind words.
Sweet thanks for sharing.
No problem, thanks for watching!
Great lesson on a rock & roll classic...
A classic indeed! Thanks for the kind words
This is amazing! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome lesson..you mademe pick up my guitar..Thanks!
That's what it's all about! Thanks for watching
Well done!

Of course what he meant was "play B, 7th fret, root on 6th string", but not what he said.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm always looking for better ways to communicate this kind of material. I will keep that in mind!
I wish you went into detail for for the A triad. There’s a hammer on there that I’m failing to get
Thanks for the input - I will have to make another video on that at some point!
@@musicbyclaytones would appreciate!
Me too ! The change from the B to E isn't explained. As you say it sounds like an hammer on !
if you haven’t figured it out by now:
1. strum the B triad
2. leave your 3rd (ring) finger where it is and roll into the E triad then strum it.
EZPZ.
Great video! Do you mind if I ask, what amp is that? Vibrochamp?
Yes it is! I love this little amp

Thats awesome! Thanks for sharing
....brain hurts.....in a good way.... excellent lesson... ow...
Ha! Thanks for watching.
Always struck me as a very Steve Cropper-ish riff.
I wouldn't be surprised if Keith or Ron or Mick learned some of the Stax records groups! Good ear. Thanks for watching
This Keith guitar lick is in open G tuning, not standard tuning. Nice introductory guitar lesson.
True! These triads can translate but yes he played that 5 string open G tuning which just sounds amazing. Thanks for watching

now that us how you teach thank you understood why that was kool.RocknRollflat5 nm
Turn off your snare!😁
Haha I know I can't believe I missed that when recording! Next time.
Went to the comment section for this! :) Great video though!
@@musicbyclaytones All Good. Great video.
Bringing up B7 at the beginning is unnecessarily confusing and no B7 does not sound like B
For a rock guitarist knowing a 7th chord is advanced technique.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm always looking for different ways to discuss this stuff. Thanks for watching
@codetech5598 Ha!
Sorry I hope you explaint detail brader? Don't to much talk sorry you don't angry yess 🙏🏻
