VERY GOOD WORK VIDÉO...!👏✌..FOR INITIATION GUITARS PLAYERS, BECAUSE THEY WERE NEED NAME CHORDS SCALES!!✌☝👍..THIS IS A VERY GOOD FASHION TO SHOW CHORDS AND SCALES ALL ALONG THE FINGERBOARD..👏👏👏👏👏✋👊👌✌👍😄
I'm not a shredder, I'm traditional Irish/ folk acoustic guitar player and singer. You're lesson are excellent. There's no bullshit. Keep up the good work!
@@fiachoconnor EVERYTHING BERNTH DOES IS AWESOME AND GO TO THE END OF ALL GUITAR ELECTRIC TECHNIC.....✋👌✌😀😀
I think I stumbled into the interval approach years ago when I finally decided I had to learn theory. As I transitioned from alternative and punk to metal. Wherever I start I can connect notes and scales and know where my roots and fifths are and where I can bend a flat 7th to a root or whatever. My shredding skills today aren't what they were a few years ago cuz life gets in the way of practicing... but it's very easy for me to improvise rock leads.
3 NPS using intervals for mode shapes, chords and arpeggios
this video is GOLD. Two years of school and I didn't get the CAGED they way you just explained it in 2 minutes. Sick!
I need to go to school to understand what he's saying lol
i know. wtf. ive been using caged for chords but for arpeggios and scales is wild and mind blowing
Bernth is one of the best teachers that we have now.
.
Yes.
Literally never understood caged until this video lol 😂
No, he is definitely not.
@@WarthDader74 Can you please recommend a better one?
I started with CAGED and loved the way it interlocked like LEGO, with its close relationship to pentatonic scales and chords/arpeggios. Later on I got heavily into 3NPS with its beautiful symetrical patterns and ease with which to play at high velocity. I combine them freely at this time depending on my musical needs at that moment. This is a great video.
LEGO?
@@M7M777777 Indeed. :)
I read “3NPS” as “NPH” for Neil Patrick Harris. I have no explanation as to why.
I have been following you for over a year. My guitar play has grown slot . This is one of your best videos ever. Thanks for helping me to play my guitar! So much fun !!
I've been following you since you was 50-60k subscribers and until now I'm learning, there have been many changes to my playing technique the way I improvise, it's very different from before I found your channel, and anyway thank you for always sharing a lot of this expensive knowledge for free On UA-cam, I hope you continue to do this to help out there guitarists like me. I will always support your channel, warm greetings from Indonesia!!!!!
I have been watching Bernth for about 2 weeks now. There's always been a thing I thought u was missing. Like why can't I play like a pro. I've been playing since I was 12yrs old. I've James with alot of good players and have kept up and if not shined on my blues licks. This guy is for real. Just running thu his motions have got me scaling like I never thought. So happy I found your you tube. I'm subscribed and am thinking of joining patron as well. Ty Bernth

I've been neglecting learning the cage system all this time, but after hearing you explain it, It made me realized how much I was missing out, but now motivated to learn it and also the other topics u talked about Thanks to you Bernth!
I like how you keep switching the diagrams left to right right to left...keeps attention span at bay just full on concentration is needed to keep in flow. Good job dude!
Thumbs up for another great video packed with information. I especially liked how you took the time to observe how each of the 3NPS shapes is consistent with a mode. That's invaluable to know, and it's something that's never been emphasized for me.
Wow, the best compressed explanation of CAGED ever with all one needs to know - well done and all thumbs up!
This is probably the best "caged" explanation I've seen. 🤘
Your explanation is next level.... I understand the things that I was struggling for years ✨ thank you
Came across this channel like a week ago and my playing has really improved. You're one of the best teachers I've seen in a while 🙌
Wait wait wait.. Im playin guitar 20 years, for the last couple I been tryin to understand the caged system but u made it so easy in 2 mins.! Hell yeah, thank u Bernth 🙏 u are my new grand wizard 😂 big shout out from Ireland 🍀🤙🏼
Being an online learning guitarist I’ve made no sense of the CAGED system til this video. Breakthrough!! Thank you!!!
Dude you should check out Scott Paul Johnson’s explanation of it. His 3 videos on the caged system and phrasing (mainly the part 2 of phrasing
Hey Bernth, greetings from Brasil! You have the best channel on UA-cam to teach guitar lessons and guitar solos just because you is the BEST teacher that i saw. You really make things look easy, not just anyone who can do it like you. Friendly english, a lot of skills and tips and a HUGE knowledge on the guitar and about music! This is my feedback. I will join your course 10-week online guitar soon. Thank you!
One of the best videos that I've seen about "practical-theory"... Amazing... Hit the bull's eye!!!
Thanks from Brazil!!!
I’m not a shredder, but I really appreciate how you lay out the CAGED system, and your approach to bringing Music Theory to the Fret Board.
This was actually the best and most efficient summary of these methods i ever saw =) and in total in less then 15 minutes...Great Job Bernth!
I've been playing guitar since 1989. This is by far the best (and only, but extremely clear) explanation of the CAGED system I've ever heard.
You are an excellent teacher!
I have played for 55 years and I find your videos refreshing and encouraging. Thank you, Bernth!
Great explanation of the CAGED system, and as I'm not from the metal/shred world, 3NPS is new to me. So thanks for the informative clip an others that I have seen on your channel. Zwilling!
Very helpful! I was only aware of the CAGED system. Will definitely try to learn the other two. Thank you so much!
Wow first explanation I’ve listened to that makes sense. I will actually subscribe to your patreon to get the exercises for this.
Thank you so much man
This is so great. Pure substance in your face. Bravo!
Content was so good! I liked how you explained the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Tnx...
Wow! Super interesting! It's amazing how many ways there are of explaning mysic theory! You opened some doirs for me and for that i thank you!
There are so many video's online trying to explain the CAGED system.. Most try to explain it as if they are J.Hendrix himself and just expect everyone watching to know music theory.
You did a perfect job!
You took your time to explain the 'simple' things, because they aren't as 'simple' for everyone.
Thank you for the great video!
This was the best CAGED system explanation I’ve seen so far for a new guitarist! Thanks. You have a new subscriber.
Simplest and most efficient explanation of the caged system I’ve seem so far! 🤘🏻
Excellent video. Always looking for new ways to improvise and add colors to my playing. Zwilling!
These videos are priceless, I hope some of us get a chance to show you the new generation of shredders you’ve helped create
I was playing the "CAGED" system before it was pointed out to me. But using the "3NPS" to practice my scales & modes, (plus a lot of technique, alternate picking, & speed/synchronization is learned working the "3NPS"). Arpeggio credit has to go to just working them out from the chord & the "CAGED" system, because when it was pointed out to me that I was using the "CAGED" system, I had already found the arpeggios within it, I just didn't realize it. Now 30+ years later, I wish I knew I was utilizing those systems as it would have been much easier to learn arpeggios, modes, & especially how to use them in my solos and fills. Thank You Bernth! I really dig your videos my friend!
Thanks for this Bernth I'm always looking for things that can help me get better at guitar
Starting out in scale study, one should commit to memory the five positions of the pentatonic scale. By doing this your ear will train and muscle memory will eventually guide you into useful melody. The next step is to understand modes, the circle of fifths is a good study to grasp modal concepts and for transposing keys. Once introduced to the circle of fifths, ad the two diatonic notes that are missing from the pentatonic scale you are now familiar with. Keep track of the root note locations, challenge yourself to combine shapes as you improvise melody and run up and down the scale. There are many paths you can take when you know the positions and their shapes, so try to make the same melody using a different path. You will become more familiar with your fretboard as time passes and find yourself making mental notes in your discoveries as you play. The caged system is a limited tool that is worth understanding but does not replace a more complete approach that starts with the relationship of the notes pertaining to key and root. It takes about an hour to learn to play through a pentatonic scale position with confidence, there are five positions and the patterns are the same for both major and minor (just separated by three frets). Applying the two added diatonic notes is a piece of cake in the weeks that follow. Within three months, you should be able to transpose (easy) and use modes effectively (harder). You will discover that you don’t always have to get the modal notes right in your improvising to sound good. Sometimes mixing modes can make your music better so don’t be too afraid of the passing notes and getting them wrong once in a while because they are not necessarily wrong in theory, they just aren’t the modal notes. For example, substituting the Dorian note for the Aeolian note in a lick will hardly set off alarms in most cases, and it is common place to play minor over major or major over minor. None of this is hard, it just takes time.
The problem with soling based on “shapes” is that you’re stuck playing parts that are idiomatic to the guitar.
Taking musical lines from other instruments and figuring out fingerings for guitar is where a lot more fresh ideas come from.
I watched 9 videos on the CAGED system before I got to this one, and this is the one that explained it in a simple enough manner for my addled brain. Thanks!
This video right here is one of the best videos on all of UA-cam. For many including myself, I'm sure :-) your explanation skills are outstanding and the graphics to assist explaining are spot on. So very well done to you and your team (if you have one!) Ps Zwilling
Great teaching! I’m definitely zwilling to try all of these systems. Thanks for making these so understandable.
Just discovered this channel. You have a great approach and almost perfect technique. Great resource.
Love it. The more I unlock the fretboard my playing confidence increases. More videos like this please
I studied classical uprightbass, and while gigging in musical theater pits and needing to sightread in a different key than written because the singer needed the range changed to suit their voice better, I stumbled upon the intervallic system out of necessity. (Even those of us who graduated from music school are continuously learning!)
But now that I'm learning guitar, I find the caged system is incredibly helpful, and the 3NPS system can be simply placed on top of it. And of course, I'm understanding both systems through the intervallic approach lens.
Great video!
Thanks man its good to find your channel back
Wow, that was indeed a class hour. Finally I've understood something about those systems. Thank you, Bernth!
I love this Bernth!, thanks your an amazing teacher and guitarist! :)
Love me some zwilling action...
Great video again. Really helpful for refreshing and expanding ideas. Thanx
Amazing sharing and explanation! Love ur channel!! Thanks a lot!
Your presentations are very precise and have been re igniting my theory i have forgotten. You are inspirational 👍👍
You're a great teacher, thank you for this amazing content!!
I was so lost for years that I never learned how to pick guitar. This single lesson has been the most effective one I've learned ever. Thank you so much!
I've been playing and thinking in intervals for years and it makes playing so much more fun. It's actually how I think of songs and why when you change keys but not whether it's major or minor and the song is still recognizable. The interval is what you hear in music and creates the song, not the notes or chords
Thank you for shining your knowledge upon us! Love it brother!
Brilliant! Thanks for this. The way you explain things makes sense! Just subscribed.
You answered so many questions I've had for so long!!
Oh wow - as an acoustic player - turns out I've been using CAGED without knowing I'm using it! This insight to the fret steps and shapes is a real face palm...how did I not figure that out myself? Thank you so much for highlighting my ignorance! Brilliant! 3NPS is beyond me for now, but will definitely look into it for bass work...! Cheers form Australia
Love the mega man intro dude! 🤘🏻 and as always, awesome lesson
Very quick and very well done, big compliment. My aim is to combine both systems in my solos.😊
Thank You for making your lessons easy to follow and understand.
I think sincerely that your guitar courses/videos are just the best 🤘
Thank you! Great video contrasting the CAGED System and 3NPS System. I am trying to integrate the 3NPS System into my playing but find it a challenge because I’m so used to the CAGED System. This is the best video I’ve seen on the subject while being under 13 minutes!
Great lesson! Very illuminating.
I’ve played guitar and quit for years because I was stuck playing the same shot over and over stumbling around the fretboard and couldn’t progress.
Two decades later during this covid BS I bought two guitars and would like to learn how to play & shred!🤘
Thanks for the videos B
I did hit the subscribe button 10 second before you asked for it in the video ! 🤣
And I was thinking how did I missed you on UA-cam !?! you sound like a really good teacher, the explanations are very clear even for non natives like me.
I will patreon as soon as my wallet can handle it I sweaaaar THANK YOU !
Great Lesson, Bernth! Thanks!
Willing. Thanks for the pros and cons for each!
One of your best videos to me :) ❤ thanks so much.
I'm glad that I found you and I appreciate all that you do in helping us
The most excellent way anyone has ever explained this. I think you were going to take me from where I am now to the next level so I just want to say thank you dude. And I am not a shredder but I've already learned a lot I haven't even finished the video yet so thank you and thank you
Holy s**t. I am a self0taught guitar player but a trained percussionist. I know all my scales and chords, but have struggled to translate that to shredding. Your explanation of the CAGED method rocked my playing. I have already improved my comfort on the board and am excited to keep practicing. Signed, a new subscriber
Thank you so very, very much for all the incredibly terrific info that you are providing me. I'm certain that it would have taken years to try to put this all together myself (and I would have quit after a much shorter time). Thanks again!!! Keep Shredding!!!!!!
Liked the video. Clear, to the point , no nonsense.
Very concise, good job!
I love this! I'm really big on CAGED plus the major, dorian, phrygian, and mixolydian scales. When improvising, I'm constantly mixing and matching these elements. It's taken me a long time to get to where I am ... and I STILL have so far to go lol. CAGED has really helped me get more proficient at improvising over chord changes. I come up with some really cool ideas.. but it's still somewhat mechanical compared to hearing a line in my head and reproducing it on guitar. I can't do that really at all lol.
You just clicked something in my brain about the modes and now I’m shredding! Thank you!
Years, years!! Of trying to get the caged system to make sense. Always it is explained confusingly along with jargon. Thank you mate. Going to jump on your patreon
This is VERY INFORMATIVE!! Thanks so much Bernth!
Thank you so much for this vid. I did not know I needed it before saw it. I have been jamming and improvising with my lady ( i.e basic guitar that I could afford). Now this makes me more excited and provides more tools to enjoy myself. ROCK on BROTHERS !.... SHRED the Zwilling, Zwilling SHRED!
Nice. Hier werden meine Gedanken in verständliche Worte übersetzt. Schon blöd wenn man weiß das es gut klingt aber nicht weiß warum es gut klingt. Jetzt kann ich dank dir endlich alles in Worte fassen. Danke dafür!!!
Brilliant video Bernth. I love the advantage/disadvantage sections. So true about repeated notes!! When you know what you are doing they can sound so cool and Interstellar (Andy James) Cheers mate. 🍻 Love your work!
I was "raised" on 3nps and combined with improving my ear through interval exercises I'd say it's serving me pretty well in terms of visualizing the fretboard. I never learned caged but I certainly associate with seeing similar chordal shapes throughout scales...
Thanks for sharing! A combination of all these is a great way to go for sure :)
@@Bernthguitar The 3NPS system REALLLY helped me understand the modes and how they are all connected. Something cool I found is you can ALSO change your pentatonic scale into a 3NPS scale which can help make a really cool pattern.
Just last night I messed with the concept of 4NPS for each of the diatonic modes and it is actually really interesting to see HOW they land on the 3NPS systems.
Been watching your videos for about a year now. Happy to say I watch almost every single one that comes out, and you have improved my shredding 10x.
Thanks to the best guitar teacher I never had! shoutout from Canada man!
Wow! That was a great video!! Thank you so much
Great!!! I'm looking forward to many other videos of yours 👌
I have been playing for 14 years, how have I not come across this method..? Now I’m mad! Thank you for the video, gives me a lot to work on!
It's cool that you pointed out thinking in intervals. I've been doing this since I started learning more about theory. It just made sense to me as the intervals are constant, regardless of key, root, or position. I don't understand modes all that well, but I'm able to start in the "middle" of the major or minor scale and move to where in need to be to stay in key by the intervals. (That's kind of an over simplification. I understand and grasped the concept easily, I just can't explain it.) A buddy I jam with and I had a laugh a few weeks ago when he was trying to tell me about one of your videos. He couldn't remember your name but I knew exactly who he was talking about. Thanks for all of the knowledge you share.
Amazing content. Thanks for your contribution!
Holy F*#@ dude. I've been learning and I've learned SO much, it's always easy to understand and makes sense. I've been teaching myself for years and trying to learn but BERNTH has taught me more in just a couple months of watching. Rock on BERNTH and thank you!
Excellent video. Thanks!
Después de varios años tocando por fin alguien en unos minutos explica PERFECTAMENTE el sistema CAGED y 3 nps.
Thanks!!!👍🏻
I'm a beginner sir but I learned alot the way you do the topic and teaching. You don't have a long long intro😁 compared to the other. I really appreciate to your effort being a excellent teacher,just because never hide your talent in your pocket. Just continue aspire people sir. May my God bless you more... Keep it up. Worthy for the support of your channel
you just transform my guitar understanding now. Awesome!
Funny thing: when I started playing (about 30 yrs ago), that third mysterious system is kind of the first thing I learned: recognizing intervals between positions on the fretboard. After that, because of a Frank Gambale video mid nineties, I started with the 3-notes-per-string method. Which btw I discovered that it is easy to remember that if you imagine that if you'd have an unlimited set of strings up and down, the same pattern of seven finger positions magically repeats itself: 1-3-5, 1-3-5, 1-2-4, 1-2-4, 1-3-4, 1-3-4 and 1-3-5 again. Finally, after all these years, I never looked into the CAGED system.. will look into that now. Haha.
Me too!, I learned 1-3-5, 1-3-5, 1-3-5, 1-2-4, 1-2-4, 1-3-4, 1-3-4 like the "universal" shape and just any mode starts in one of them. This is applicable to the other scales.
@@gustavogalindo8931 Also, I think this is why, in this perspective, 7 strings are more 'logical' than 6...
Your call to action worked! It reminded me I have not subscribed, liked and rand the bell! Great Content! Thank you!!!
Thanks man! I understand it better thanks to you.
Gonna join Patreon, this is awesome.
Thank you❤🙏
My ideal teacher.
Great lesson, Bernth! A lot to chew on for both experienced players and beginners on the road to shredness.
All the best from the Bay Area!

Really great vid.
Still learning caged but will move on the 3notes to start getting into modes.
Zwilling ;-)
Wow, I dont know how many caged videos I have watched. Haha, who knew it would be so simple to explain. Great job! Thank You.
I will be joining your patron shortly(today). I can hardly wait to expand my thoughts of the fretboard and theory.
My twin and I were zwilling back some brewskis. Fun breakdown there B!
3 nps legato taught me speed at 50 years old that I never thought I could ever do. So I love that. However, I jam all guitar theory knowledge in my noggin that I can fit, no regrets.
Thankfully I have a big head.
Wow first time I understood CAGED and Modes in one short video. Dude you do ROCK! now subscribed and bell rung!
