The best channel explaining the theory behind and applying how to play each of the CAGED chord shapes accross the fretboard. For beginners, this is Gold. This is very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
I have been watching a lot of tutors showing these color coded charts on how the scales connect and relate with the CAGED system. But David is the first tutor who actually played the scales connecting them in regards to CAGED positions. Thank you very much :) I am learning so much from this lesson.
I also realized that 1st position can be played anywhere up and down the fret board from the 6th string. I then learned minor from there, and same major but based off the A string.
David, I rarely comment but this was so great I want to genuinely thank you. Probably the best course on youtube. Took me some months to find it. Keep up and thanks again!
Light bulb moments, more like light explosions. I’ve been looking for exactly this for years. Thanks very much! Now….where to go from here? Very much appreciate you tying this all together! Looking forward to more. Cheers from Vancouver. 🎉
Great stuff!Speaking only for myself,I pretty much know the scales and where most of them live but how to actually use these scales is the biggest problem for me.I've learned so much from this channel I would like to ask if there are any recommended sites I might go to for this information...thanks!
@@giannirocco7492 Hi I immediately joined David's Patreon page because his explanation of CAGED is really good. His honesty is most refreshing, to say that he has only recently discovered the difference between A7 and Amaj7 surprised me but I am often surprised at how much guitarists who have not learned the piano do not know - the guitar is such a powerful instrument it can overcomplicate the issue. The 88 piano keyboard is simply the chromatic scale laid out 7 times + 4 notes. Every string on a guitar is a strip of the piano typically an octave plus a fifth. It is much easier to remember the scales when they are all black and white and it only takes 10 minutes to learn with the circle of fifths. It took me several years to realise that all Western music is based on intervals that then make up chorda and scales. Then I read Rick's book page 1 !!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rv62qJGjVB4.html has it all in an hour
@@petermcmurray2807 Thanks Peter,now I can't wait!This "Song Notes" channel has taught me some very usable things and now I'll look into your suggestion and if I have the same type of luck I'll be forever grateful!
@@petermcmurray2807 and you also mentioned how DavidPotts comes across as honest,the exact reason I took another look at his channel!His ability to teach combined with apparent honesty had me hooked!Now I'll be giving R.Beato a,hopefully,chance to open my eyes to the world of music!
I want one of those big poster board charts. Is it okay to have a printer print one if we buy the PDF? I have some of your Music Notes and they are so well done. Love the addition of color for the CAGED sheets and would love to see color incorporated into the Music Notes sheets going forward. Color helps me learn.
The video does not do justice to the value of the first page of the print out. Without exception, this is the single most important thing I have seen on RU-vid for music instruction. I hope you will do one for minor chords as well.
This is late two years late but I can’t help it. The flip floppy different ways that every shows the fret board makes me insane ti the point if almost tears. For five years now. Every time thru my self growth that I am ready to take on a little more and click around to find my answers I have to flip my eyes inside out and upside down to get my brain to see the fret board shapes. Can’t we just have one universal way?!😢
This is good, but at least for me you're dwelling a bit too much on the arbitrary nature of the position numbering, and how different teachers number them differently. It's just like a coordinate system in a physics problem - you need one, so choose one. Move on and solve the problem. Things need names in order for us to communicate about them. Nice charts, though - yours are some of the prettiest ones I've seen. :-)
This is one of the best lessons I've found on CAGED & major scale but it's irritating when you give us a link to download a PDF but you fail to mention that we need to pay you at least $10 for a month subscription to get it. 🙄 I'm not paying $10 for what I can find on a Google Images search or RU-vid video search for FREE and just screenshot it or print it. A true teacher & good hearted person would offer that PDF free.
A good hearted person would not whine about someone who put a lot of effort into making the video you are watching and learning from not giving you something else for free.
