CAGED is the triads, double stops, and chord shapes up neck.. It all leads to each other. The full chords all broke down and connected. Joe Pass was a believer of it. Ricks approach is awesome of course but getting kids early on to understand and learn the neck - CAGED is a must imho.. It also helps in learning sweeps.. If only someone had shown me CAGED when I was in 3rd grade.. I see it as a fast track to getting into neck knowledge and chord/scale understanding. Just my 2 cents..

@soofitnsexy Год назад

also pretty much also scales come out of the caged

@kgsvvgla2i Год назад

@@soofitnsexy I guess you mean scale patterns. Anyway, I agree. I think learning scale patterns in relation to CAGED shapes is much more productive than learning the patterns as such. I know this because I initially made the mistake of not learning CAGED. However, I also think that Rick has a fair point. After all, CAGED can limit one's view of the fretboard in comparison to learning these 3-string patterns all over. CAGED sure is more easily-digestable to a beginner, which is an advantage.

@Mr-qt4xr Месяц назад

@@kgsvvgla2i The thing is, those 3 string arpeggios can all be described as CAGED shape arpeggios. CAGED shaping moves down the fretboard and down the strings respectively. CAGED is just a rational way of describing the shaping of intervals on the guitar down the fretboard and also down the strings.

@rolandserkmanis Год назад

I rarely write comments, BUT. This helped me so much, i always thought of learning the triads/caged system ect. too difficult or boring, so i put it off, but the way you explained it in this video i literally sat and did all of the shape/triad excercises on C major for an hour to a 1 chord backing track and instantly felt like i know them by heart. Then i tried it in D and it was even easier, because i knew how the intervals looked on the fretboard. If anyone practices this for all keys its worth the time for sure, so GO TRY IT NOW! I can't thank you enough for this Rick!

@suedehead23 5 лет назад

YES RICK! I was so happy to hear you say to get the CAGED shapes and break them into groups of three strings because that is EXACTLY what I get my students to do when I start looking at chord shapes across the neck 😊 we start with the CAGED concept then do exactly what you do, and learn about the different inversions! It can be tricky at first but it's so satisfying to see them get it and add it to their playing!!

@substrate001 5 лет назад

The "CAGED" system helped me A LOT, in the beginning. Learning guitar & all phrasings and inversions of EVERY chord is made easier for beginners who have learned the basic chord shapes& learn to regard the "pointer" finger AS THE NUT. Rick is a "ZAPPA LEVEL" musical interpreter, and he's showed me more *_digestible_* musical info that could be used than anyone else. Peace Out, Rick! Love You!!!

@Frankenstein-sc8rc 5 лет назад

its about knowing each mode in each given shape. I feel as if the CAGED system allowed me to see the relation of intervals between separate chords more clearly. Also I feel as if the CAGED system gives you the ability to highlight chord changes more fluently, rather than playing in a given mode. Just depends what your going for.

@tommym321 4 года назад

My challenge has always been how to translate these exercises to real musical situations without making it sound like an exercise. In a way, learning licks is more valuable (to me), but I find I “remember” the licks much better when exercises like these help me to visualize the music theory behind the lick- say an arpeggio for example.

@Kevinschart Год назад

what rick is showing is a structure to thoroughly understand the instrument. if you thoroughly understand the instrument learning little licks and things comes naturally.

@ghostownaproach 5 лет назад

Fretboard Logic book by Bill Edwards is where I first heard of the "CAGED" approach to guitar and the idea was simply to stop trying to force guitar students to learn their instrument the way most other instrument's students do, namely by using the piano as a guide when it simply doesn't apply logically to a guitar's tuning or fretboard. So he came up with a basic approach that anyone who already knows how to play the "cowboy" open chords, C, A, G, E, and D can easily grasp and immediately begin to apply to the rest of the fretboard. It was never intended to be the end all be all. For me, completely self taught by listening to records and copying solos etc, I found it filled in vital missing parts of the neck that were uncharted territory and opened those new scales and chord shapes to add to what I was already doing but made sense of it all as well. Too many instructors are like the Monty Python skit: "How to play the flute, well, you blow in one end and run your fingers up and down the little buttons!"

@EdwardT9 3 года назад

Guitar books from the 80s and 90s are mostly full of learn scales, major, blues, pentatonic etc, noting how the patterns repeat. Learn Open chords and how they become bar chords is a separate deal altogether... when CAGED came in always baffled me because it just wasn’t in these old books, and I’ve never understood its purpose. I now see it’s a learning tool, possibly a step towards what the older books cover. Either way, it all takes time and effort to learn really well, a lifetime in Rick’s case I’m sure.

@juanfichtl2011 5 лет назад

Hi Rick, the way I learned the CAGED system is basically what you described later in your video. I think the main problem with the CAGED system is how it is generally taught. I learned to do the basic chords, then to break them down in triads (which are subsets of the CAGED chords), then add pentatonic scales & etc. The thing about playing above at and below the note for me was how I made sense of the G chord (below), the D chord (at) and the E chord (above), the Justin Sandercoe channel/webpage does a great job of explaining it really well. There's also a video of Guthrie Govan talking about how it works and he explains it in a similar vein to the stuff to said. Enjoyed the video tho, lots of great ideas for the woodshed!

Your channel has become one of the best resources I have ever found in my 23 years of playing the guitar.

@danielmedina8819 3 года назад

I desperately want to learn guitar from Rick, because I love his content. But every time I watch one of these videos, I can't help but feel this is an advanced player explaining basic topics in ways that other advanced players are able to agree with. In other words, I don't know if the intended audience is ever walking away with that A-HA! moment, there's just affirmation from people who already know the concepts being discussed. Not meant to be critical, just some hopefully constructive feedback that I know you'll probably never see because you've said a billion times before you never read RU-vid comments. Ok, I'm off to shake my fist at the wind.

@5000rgb 3 года назад

Rick does give you a lot to chew on, especially if the material is new to you. The information is coming at you pretty fast and as soon as one bit gets by it's hard to get back on the same page. As valuable as these videos are I think a book is still important. I haven't checked out Rick's book but I'm sure it's one of the many good books. I guess the hard part is knowing which book is good. I wish I could recommend one but I'm not familiar with what's currently available. I do feel Rick is spot on that the CAGED system has some limits. It can be a great tool but sometimes people don't go as deep as they should and end up with a limited understanding. And when you go deeper you are moving beyond open chord shapes. They can still be thought of as part of the CAGED system if you want but the CAGED system is becoming less relevant.

@systemsoversymptomsvisionw9806 3 года назад

I'm a beginner as well, and it seems hard to find "advanced beginner" music theory etc. That is, you can find stuff that teaches you the basics about intervals etc., and beginner stuff that tries to teach you a part of a song or a lick or strum pattern (to keep you interested and motivated) but then you try to learn more and end up on a video like that above - that assumes you already know a bunch of stuff that you don't yet know. There are some "music theory" online courses that seem to advertise they are fulsome, so I'm thinking of trying that (not for guitar specifically, but I think that might be okay). There's an older British dude with a video like "Music Theory in 30 minutes" or something (which is great) and he offers a full course for what seems to be a reasonable price.... again, not for guitar. Given this video above, though, I'm thinking that we may as well start off with a beginner CAGED course or book, because regardless of whether it is the best method or not, we have to start somewhere and all these advanced guys still seem to have tried caged themselves, lol.

@5000rgb 3 года назад

@@systemsoversymptomsvisionw9806 When I learned guitar I learned moveable chord shapes and recognized the shapes as closed position versions of the open chords but I didn't learn it in terms of the CAGED system. I can definitely see the CAGED concepts and how they can make music theory much more accessible to a beginner. Just do us all a favor....don't put a capo on the fifth fret and play the "C" shape and tell people you are playing a C. You will be playing an F. Your bass player and keyboard player any guitar player without a capo will appreciate it. I think that's my beef with a lot of the caged material. It's guitar centric. The biggest advantage of music theory is that you can tell other what you are doing. If your understanding is strictly limited to guitar you will have limited yourself.

@raguellagrande7344 4 года назад

I wish I was at the stage where your smooth transitions made sense enough for me to follow along. Caged system gives me frame of reference. The three string option looks easy enough, reminds me of power chords, just ll over the neck on different sets of strings instead of just the 3 lowest strings. This helps me understand some odd looking song tabs and might make rhythm guitar more nuanced. I think this is best learned once the caged system is understood, not as substitution

@AngusClarkGTR 5 лет назад

Thanks for a thoughtful critique of this system. I only heard about it after I had already learned the neck and how it is connected, so I’ve never really connected with why CAGED is so polular. But I think it has created profound connections for people who are tied to open chords and use a capo to change keys. I personally found it just confused things, as you demonstrated in your initial demo - I can’t get used to calling the D barre chord at the fifth fret “the A shape” cause its a D chord and so on. It’s like going backwards in how I understand the guitar. Thanks!

@elishifrin2553 5 лет назад

I disagree with the CAGED shapes not being "connected". The way I learned it is that each CAGED shape is contained inside a pentatonic position, so if you know your minor/major pentatonics and how to connect those up and down the neck, you can visualize the CAGED shapes inside them, as well as the complete diatonic scales around them. Maybe I'm missing something but thinking about it that way has helped me a lot.

I find it useful in a similar way, knowing the root position all over the neck means you can forget the different pentatonic positions as really there is only one pentatonic scale, then you realise the position of the intervals from that root position, realise how to play the minor from that same position, it’s all valuable stuff.

@parickyates 2 года назад

Viewer beware. I don’t think this video does the CAGE system justice. Watch Rick closely, he doesn’t play the CAGE chords correctly, as he’s giving examples of how the CAGE system works. Don’t get me wrong, Rick is an absolute master. I bought his book, and I bought the ear training course. I am using both of them. I watch Rick’s videos, and I have learned so much. But no one is perfect, and I believe this video misses the mark for the student in the first year or 2 of building mastery of the guitar neck. For a better review of the system watch Steve Gilson’s video’s, CAGE, 3 notes per string, and unifying the 2 systems. Still, I get a lot from this video: don’t be happy with just the CAGE positions and forms, but work on moving through the 5 positions, using triads, then over time adding the 7th, then the 9th. I’ll be doing that (next year) after I get the basic scales and sounds of the scales in my fingers and ears. I’m not trying to find a short cut with the CAGE system, I’m trying to create a template in my head for the guitar neck, simple at first, then graduating to the more complex, then hopefully one day playing something close to what we see and hear in this video. I don’t think Rick you will ever see this comment, but maybe it will help someone else. Cheers.

But I must say this is possibly the "less good" video from Rick I've seen.

@parickyates 2 года назад

@@lincolnbuck yes, I totally agree. And I’m finding that once your familiar with the major and minor scales, the pentatonic and other scales fall right into the 5 forms of the caged scales. And if that’s not enough, when your real familiar with 5 forms in the various scales, you can move easily (with a lot of practice, so not so easily) from one form to the other, up and down the fretboard. And then your really playing the instrument. But the beginning is to learn the 5 separate boxes of the caged system, carefully and completely. Maybe some people don’t do that, or recommend against it, but I agree with you, for the beginner and even intermediate player it’s a very helpful system.

@vvblues Год назад

The CAGED System shapes connect like Legos up the neck. The forms/shapes are connected. You fill in the forms with notes from the major scale and pentatonics. You can transpose as needed. It's a logical system to see notes on the fret board, triads within scales, create more complex chords and embellish them.

@EbeJay1 5 лет назад

I had guitar lessons for about 8 months, he taught me the caged system. It definitely layed out the neck in an understandable way for me, and it was a useful tool for me once I stopped lessons and had to approach new situations by myself. It sounds like what you're saying is to learn the scales & arpeggios around each of the caged shapes? IE - if you're on the low E string, G shape is "behind" E shape is On, and D shape is (roughly) above?

@Chris-MusicTheoryAndFretboard 2 года назад

Rick probably has forgotten why he knows the shapes he knows. In my opinion, the reason why Rick can play all these triads and their inversion on 3-string combinations is because he knows the notes on the guitar. This is how musicians on other instruments learn. They learn their notes. CAGED is for people who think learning notes is too hard. It is true that if you try to learn notes on all 6 strings at the same time, it can be daunting. I always recommend Single String Playing before Position Playing. Turn the guitar into a linear instrument (like the piano) by "eliminating" 5 strings and get a deep understanding of just one string. Learn the notes on the entire string in all positions. Then move to another string...

You can know, but applying it is a different story . . . That's the exact problem I'm having in both my hobbies rn. I'm learning guitar and Japanese rn, but let's focus on my music journey. I have a firm grasp on music theory with heavy emphasis on jazz theory; if you told me a term I could define it easily, and I'm fairly familiar with scales and stuff like that, but whenever I apply the knowledge it sounds like utter sh*t. You can know and play shapes, but you are correct, it's not music; learning those shapes however can help you familiarize yourself with the neck a lot faster (when I started thinking of what I was playing on guitar as shapes first, then learning the note names, I was able to connect the shapes fairly quickly, within like two weeks) so you can start learning and focusing on proper technique, fingerings, arpeggios, chords, and other stuff like that without getting bogged down too much with thinking about what you can and can't play while staying in key.

@Chris-MusicTheoryAndFretboard 2 года назад

@@あなたがすごいだよ "Bogged down" - that just doesn't happen when you truly learn your notes though. Thinking in shapes is what actually slows people down. Pat Metheney knows his notes. He doesn't used CAGED at all. Learn your notes, intervals, and chords. Fuck CAGED.

@headkickko609 3 года назад

It helps a lot to just take, for example the D and the A shape on the top 3/4 strings. Then you remember the root is always in the middle, the 5th is on top (from where you are looking) and the 3rd is on the bottom. So now your major chord is basically 5 1 3. All you have to do for a min. chord is move the 3rd a half step down, just remember how you finger your Dm and Am chords. This now goes for all chord formulas (no extended chords here). If I can understand this anyone can.

@lancelotlink6545 5 лет назад

I have to say learning caged helped me immensely but I agree you can't compartmentalize the positions. You have to see how it's all connected so you can flow from one "position" to the next. The thing that helped me simplify caged even further is that I really see it as 3 positions not 5. The A shape and G shape are really 2 sides of the same coin. And C and D also are easy to combine into one. Then when I look at the fretboard I see those 3 chord shapes (C,A,E) , the pentatonic shapes around them and the scales and arpeggios built into those. I also to a certain degree see the intervals but at some point I'm trying not to think about it because you have to then let your fingers take over and play by ear.

@davidhallowell3457 5 лет назад

Every time I learn some new piece of the puzzle whether it be scales or arpeggios or extended chords I always like to first see how those fit into the major and minor pentatonics because those are familiar places to play.

Playing caged accending then playing 3nps decensing by adding an extra note on high e to the caged snd coming back 3nps. And think of all the intervals as you go. Also then doing appregios of 1 3 5, 1 b3 5, 1 3 5 7, 1 b3 5 b7. And you can try tohers with 2 4 6 etc. Knowing how to jump from the one interval to another interval also helps. This way not everything had to be compared to the root all the time. Then practicing caged in all 5 positions, 3nps in all 7 positions, 4nps, and appregios helps to get the patters into your memory. And since you already practiced understanding all the intervals slowly. You would have a more complete picture

Excellent approach! I think you should do one on simply learning the NOTES on the full neck. Then, this higher level of chord shapes will make more sense. I wish I had learned the notes (by sight alone) much earlier in my guitar playing life. It makes everything easier. Thanks again Rick!

@Chris-MusicTheoryAndFretboard 2 года назад

Yes I agree completely. CAGED is a shortcut for people who think learning the notes is too hard. But the reason why Rick can play so effortlessly is because he knows his notes. The secret is to focus on one string at a time. Turn the guitar into a linear instrument like the piano. Then add one string, then another. That's why you learn a 6 string guitar before learning a 7 string guitar. But no one makes a 1 string guitar....

@chrispyy606060606 5 лет назад

This is brilliant I’m applying all this to bass. I’ve always practiced moving around the neck hitting open strings but these shapes allow such easy transitions as you move around.

Hey Rick, this comment is unrelated to this video, but I'm at a place of disbelief in what I've found. I have recently discovered Phillip Sayce and am blown away that he doesnt have the social media presence like his peers such as Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Joe Bonamassa, Eric Gales etc... This dude is right up there with them guys in the Blues arena. He in my opinion incapsulates the sound, style, and feel of SRV and Hendrix while still having his own flare... I know that you don't really get into a lot of Blues guys, but man it would be incredible for you to interview or showcase him. He brings so much to the table in blues. Another guy thats undermentioned that you could have a field day with musically speaking on guitar is Monte Montgommery.

CAGED encourages learning chords and scale patterns in 5 positions. I like this cause it makes things less daunting. Yes there are 7 modes but for Ionian/locrian Phrygian/Lydian it's the a same pattern only starting and ending one fret lower so 5 scale patterns and 5 starting positions is the key to mastering the neck for Jazz guitar. I'm a strong advocate of not using chord books but instead manipulating these 5 chords into more complex chord qualtities.

@MrVyrtuoso 5 лет назад

CAGED helped me to see chords easily, but I also quickly found its usefulness was constrained to standard tunings and the tonalities that it tended to emphasize were either Ionian or Aeolian, maybe other modes but in the root position. For a while I switched to 4ths tuning like Stanley Jordan and with the symmetry of intervals across all strings in 4ths tuning, the 3NPS was the only system that could map out the shapes horizontally and vertically. And when I went back to standard tuning, the 3NPS was what stuck, and I found it easier to connect positions located above or below the particular positions in the 3NPS mapping on which I happen to be.

3 notes per string, makes all diatonic patterns logical, because there's only 3 patterns. [on a note-per string basis]

@JJTricksProductions 5 лет назад

@@fabianmejia557 The pentatonic scales have a box looking pattern on guitar because of the intervals. So I think he visualises the pentatonic scales as the shell and then adds in the extra notes once he has his bearings.

@johnmaloney1681 5 лет назад

The chord tones are the triads. Best to learn them as 1-3-5 (and inversions) all over the neck . Caged gives you 5 ways to play a chord. Triads give you 12. Pentatonics are great too.

@flat9design 5 лет назад

The cage system is a must for chord melody. If you think in terms of modes it makes more sense (for me anyway). Ionian starts the process, that's the E shape, so in other words the system is modal, not alphabetical. It's really simple once get the concept: Play the E shape in the first position, move up one full step to the third position and play the D shape which magically is the E scale, up one more full step and play the C shape , magically is the E scale again. Works every time you start with the E shape.

@peterpertierra4402 5 лет назад

The CAGED system is someone's logic on how they learned how to get around the guitar. I learned differently. I personally don't see this working for me, but if it does, do what you gotta to do. Everyone learns differently. Everyone understands differently. Everyone plays differently.

@5000rgb 3 года назад

Move everything down two frets and now you know G minor pentatonic. If you know A minor pentatonic you also know C Major pentatonic. I think there is a trend in a lot of guitar instruction to make difficult things too simple and act like that bit of understanding can be applied anywhere. A lot of players have a strong understanding of a concept but are still missing some context or are trying to understand things through that concept instead of understanding concepts that are more relevant.

very inspiring，I also used the three strings to practice one octave scale for all the modes in diatonic scale and melodic minor. But I will use the root note as start and my fingers start from the left or the right of the root note. Then I use these two to connect the whole pattern within six strings.

I love Rick's videos, and I may catch some flak for my opinion of this one, but I hear a lot of criticism of the CAGED system on the internet and I think those with negative critiques are using it for the wrong reasons. This video started by talking about CAGED, but most of it was about notes and arpeggios. I think Rick started it with the wrong approach. He said "it's basically a way to learn your neck out of chord shapes." I disagree. I say it's a way to find chords on the guitar neck. There's a difference. CAGED is for chords. If you learn the CAGED system with the sole intent to find chords, and discover new 3 and 4 string voicings that you haven’t been using, then you understand and will get the most out of the system. It doesn't work well for scales and notes. I think Rick makes that clear. I teach CAGED to most of my students, and I always emphasize chords with this approach. There are other methods to learn notes, scales, and arpeggios. Love your videos, Rick, but I just had to share my opinion on this one. Thanks!

There are too many great guitar players who are terrible teachers, usually, it seems to me, because they don't realize that being good at guitar does not translate to being a good teacher. I find many can't help but show off their skill or think that they're playing is so great that through some ridiculous form of osmosis their talent will teach the student. A teacher must convey ideas is the most understandable and applicable manner possible. I think Rick does that.

I go back and watch your old videos multiple times until I find myself at the level that I can actually internalize the themes of your lessons. I didn’t go to music school or have any kind of formal training so I had a lot of catch up to do but now that I found myself stalled with the level of understand of the CAGED system this is helping me move forward

I love music and all the teachers out there. Rick, you're great. I'm a guitarist/musician and I know theory and it applies to all instruments. The caged system in my opinion is just moving chords and makes learning guitar a chore. If you know basic theory you should be able to build a chord anywhere on the neck. So my method of teaching is to just teach theory first as a MUSIC SYSTEM because that's what it is. And it is universal to all instruments and even singers -- sing me A minor arpeggio. A C E. :). Learn theory and then learn songs!!! And you'll see how it all comes together. Rock on everyone. Thank you Rick for spelling this caged system out. Peace. Happy Holidays.

@manny75586 5 лет назад

I think CAGED is fine for new players. Gets them started thinking about how the fretboard relates to itself. The lack of inversions and 7th and other extended tonality limit it. Your way would definitely be better for someone looking to expand their horizons. P.S. Buy the Beato Book folks. It has a lot of stuff like this in there. Really great additional resource for exploring theory.
