This is great Daryl in that you have a concrete goal of the CAGED system, ie “melodic freedom and playing unaccompanied”. I find often that CAGED gets presented as a series of random and pretty boring exercises, and thus by osmosis, we are supposed to translate it to our playing. Anyway, well done for doing something new here, much appreciated! Gday from Sydney!
dude i always love your video, i remember learned the break up song from your video, 2 years ago ( i think 😁) and i love how u teach solo and breakdown the scales used, thank u very much 🙏🙏
@@DarrylSyms Hi it's not clear in your lesson sir, Triad Chords ? First question, does it mean only Play 3 Notes in the Fretboard to form a chord but in must be in order example C chord = play only CEG ..... 2nd question, Spread Voice Triads = choose only 3 notes out of the Arpeggio (no particular order) to form a chord ?
Such a great lesson. I've been watching your videos for a few years now and can tell your playing is getting a lot better. And so is mine from watching you! Thanks Darryl
Thanks for sticking around this long Chip! It’s so nice to look back on videos and see improvements. I recommend to everyone that they should keep a video portfolio of their progress. Fortunately, my video portfolio is my job 😄 Thanks again!
Damn, i must to finish my method tool quickly, finally after 10 years of video on this system youtubers start to get closer, but it miss some possibilities.
I just wanna play fluidly like level 9 or like your track its been awhile. I feel years stuck at level 1 with, modes, caged, pentatonics, arpeggios. I have been struggling with practice because I feel like I spend so much time with no return...im going to restart most of your course tomorrow and see where it takes me. You are a fantastic player! And inspiring!
It’s not easy Paul - it takes time and dedication. Practice smart, not hard. If you need to spend a whole month to master just one position of the neck, then take your time! There’s no pressure to whiz through and try to conceive the entire neck so fast. It’s more impressive to be a master of Level 3 than a mediocre of Level 8 - trust me!
Some great information here thanks. I don’t know what it is with a section of the 3nps brigade who have a dislike for caged. How could say, country music exist without it?
Hi :) I need ask you few questions 1 - What is the best exercises you know which allow to use fingers on both hands independent of each other not symmetrically for example left hand fingers are going 1,2,3,4 but left hand figners strokes 4,3,2,1, (if You know what I mean saying "not symmetrically" english is not my native language,I use google translator haha) Generally, it's about the exercises developing the technique of the right hand like Rasgueado in flamenco etc etc let me clarify Basically the point is that our limbs have a natural tendency for symmetrical movement. That is, if the fingers of the left hand move in the order 1,2,3,4 (from pointing to little) fingers of the right hand that want to strokes according to the same pattern. The problem arises when we want to move the fingers of both hands at the same time but in different configurations, e.g. fingers 1,2,3,4 of the left hand together with fingers 4,3,2,1of the right hand. 2 - How to deal with this picking problem: We have two strings for example E and B and now we want play E string down /\ and B string up \/ or E string up \/ and B string down /\ Alternate picking right? How to get maximum speed with tremolo in this patern: one note per string? What we should avoid, what will stop our progress? How to achieve the level of Shawn Lane ? ;D Fingerpicking is ideal for it,but plectrum picking is a challenge. 3 - Hybrid picking development :) Best exercises/licks which You know,to achieve mastery in this technique :) Could You share with us?
Yooo! Yeah, the last year’s been a lil rough, but I’m outta the end of the tunnel now and I’m prepping a whole new chapter of content 😃 Thanks for checking in 😄
...and my favourite question :> harmonic Major ,ionian b6 and its modes why nobody talks about it, nobody teaches it, why it's so hard to find songs in harmonic Major? E.g. functional harmony for ionian b6 modal harmony for each of harm.Major modes modal progressions etc etc Are you familiar with the harmonic Major and could you discuss it one day from the tonal and modal side? Some musical exercises and examples :)
I think nobody talks about it because it's not common practice. Yes it exists and is usable in certain instances, but very rarely, and thus nobody talks about it - hence why making a video about something that nobody talks or cares about it not a very good use of time unfortunately 😆 Perhaps I can touch on it one day if the opportunity arises 😊
@@DarrylSyms Because everything what's happening now, started around 1995,until a few years ago, these were still just conspiracy theories,many "theories" have become reality but the show is not over yet, time for the grand finale
Do you think that musical and non-musical exercises are equally good? Most people who want to learn a foreign language, e.g. learns the alphabet (when these languages are, e.g. Japanese, Chinese or Thai) then they learn vocabulary, then sentences, grammar and that's how they learn to speak the language, right? Analogous to music lessons: our alphabet are notes within the octave :) our vocabulary and sentences are motives and licks :) our grammar is functional harmony,tonal or modal rules etc and of course all this stuff which determine that our music is in the chosen genre :) Victor Wooten once inspired me to think about scales He said that Ionian scale is the same scale in all musical genres Ionian scale is exactly the same but the genres are different, so how to make the same scale sound different every time, in a different style how to play ionian death metal,ionian jazz,ionian bluegrass,ionian flamenco etc etc Can you do it?Do You know how? (returning to the topic) So why in 99% of cases the teaching process goes like this as if we gave children scattered letters and told them to compose / discover a new alphabet and their own language that no one except them will understand? Instead of teaching them music the way we learn foreign languages that is, instead of teaching them music by practice music we teach them to recite the alphabet from beginning to end, from end to beginning, or in random order (scales up and down or thirds) and they are counting on that one day poetry will out of it :D People who want to learn music learn exercises in this way they get into the habit of mindlessly playing scales instead of music all their compositions are similar like twins because they learned how to play exercises instead of music instead of composing music. They are in the situation of a foreigner who knows some random words they go out into the street in a foreign country and...have stage fright before the show :D they are not sure what they are saying or they are talking well :) You know what I mean. Summarizing, what is your opinion on this topic, about musical and non-musical exercises, how to solve this problem.
Equally - no. I think that musical exercises are undoubtably better, because it's a 2-in-1 - you get to play music (which is the fundamental reason why we play guitar) at the same time as drilling a technique. There's a cool Guthrie Govan video that can help answer your latter questions - I can't remember exactly which one but he's sitting in a band-stand. It's a great video 😃
I’m not sure - probably to some extent at least on a sub conscious level. The only thing I do know is that Tim and Scott don’t know much theory, but it’s inevitable that you learn about theory and visualisation at that skill level, even if you don’t fully acknowledge what it is you know
@@DarrylSyms nice! thanks for the response. How are they able to compose such complex lines though if they dont know much theory. Do you think they rely too much on technology?
Perhaps lots of trial and error, and a good ear to know what sounds good and what doesn’t. It’s possible they have aid from other sources too - be it technology, or the assistance of friends or other composers for a collective effort 🤷♂️
The CAGED System is covered in detail in my course yes. By the end of the course, you will have the tools to do each of these 10 levels and more. However I do not explicitly show you how to do things like spread voiced triads and drop chords in the course, since that is off-topic. The CAGED class emphasises on fretboard visualisation, not theory. If you also want to learn theory then you’d benefit more from a Fretwise subscription since that’ll give you access to all of my classes rather than just the CAGED class 👍
Hi! :) i have a rg331 desert yellow that i am modding. I am thinking about the cruiser bridge model in the neck, but i tried one many years ago and as far as i remrmber it was quite weak? What is your experience, is it underpowered by the tonezone?
Nope, I love it! I don’t think it’s significantly weaker. I do love the contrast 😄 But honestly, what do I know - I have very little experience in the broader scheme of things 😆
I’ve never had an STD before Petter, so I can’t comment 😜 Sorry! I hope to get a strat someday though so I can actually compare and gauge what I like best 😎
