It finally clicked tonight. Forget everything you have heard about the CAGED system. Everyone needs to hop aboard this guys sh*t. He is on another level.
It's all about triads and their inversions, the CAGED system is a way to visualize those. I visualize the CAGED system as just 3 shapes, as there are only 3 inversions. The problem with guitar players is that they start with the cowboy chords, move to bar chords and pentatonics and then get stuck. I was thought this by a friend who plays the piano. He asked why I was playing these big doubled chords all the time. He then showed me inversions and voice leading on the piano which makes it easier to understand.
Great lesson, Blue. After two plus years of playing, finding chords on different places on the neck has finally ceased being a struggle. And the little colors you can add, it’s a wonderful thing. Thanks!
Knowing the CAGED 10:07 system is definitely beneficial. Blue is just a great teacher,and shows how chords, scales, and triads etc.,are all related. I know the caged system and all my pentatonics quite well..the major scale and a bit of the modes. He just puts it all together on another level. A great teacher.A very musical player
I so needed this lesson! I was stuck in the cowboy chord rut because I sing and play rhythm with my band but this will definitely help me branch out! Thanks so much!
Great to hear thank you! I have a similar one here on rhythm guitar but with a different spin, you might like: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eUtZ5ilKuLo.html

Thanks as always Blue. Have to admit this one really turned a light. So bright if you look towards TX you’ll the “Blue” spotlight shining bright. Peace.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful! That guitar was made in Korea in the 90s. But I know lots of quality guitars are coming from Indonesia now. Thanks for watching 🎸
5:54 AC/DC does not play the major third of a regular G Chord. The a string is muted and the open b string plays the 3rd fret, the D note: 3-X-0-0-3-3 -> G - X - D - G - D - G Usually in rock etc on distortion overdrive sounds the major 3rd are not played because it can sound quite muddy. That's why power chords are used a lot in rock, metal, etc. The chord I described is just that one big power chord. Then again, he said almost, which is spot on as I'm 1000% sure he knows this.
Great lesson. “5 essentials” deserve 5 chapter markings in the description. It would increase the views by making the video more useful for later reference. Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Some YT advisers say chapter markings help viewership, some say it actually hurts viewer retension. I don't know which is true. I can add them for this video. On the road this weekend but will try adding them when I'm back. Thanks for watching 🎸😎
I really love your lessons. You do a great job and are always interesting. Question you mention the key of A but isn’t this progression in the key of D. I ask because I always get the D and A keys confused. Thanks and keep the lessons coming!
Sorry meant to add more there, it's A Mixolydian because A sounds as the tonic. So it woukd be I, IV and bVII. It's a funny thing because key of D woukd have the same chords, but in this case A chord sounds like home.
It's the original Samick SAT 650 made in Korea in the 90s. All stock components. Been playing it since the 90s :) samick.fandom.com/wiki/SA#SAT-650_%22Kingston_Classic%22
