In my opinion you are easily one of the most effective teachers on YT. Your content always catches my eye, and always delivers! Thank you for all that you do, you make a difference.
This is SUCH A GOOD video !! Finally a CAGED video that isn't just showing the shapes but puts them into use in a way that is understandable and isn't all about playing scales. Terrific job man.
I found going back to basics and learning the major scale in a few positions really helped to start to get to grips with navigating the fretboard. Hopefully this video will add to this.
Hands down one of the very best lessons on using the caged system. Showing how to create licks in all 5 positions of the caged position has opened up so many new ideas for me. Plus they are all very simple to play. Thanks for the great video. You have a new subscriber🙏
By watching your vid I’ve actually realised that I am already doing a lot of this stuff without realising it. Definitely a good vid for intermediate level players Keep up the great work 👍
Another great one. You seem to be having fun doing these lately. I loved the Link Wray Radar and this one. I'd be interested in an episode showing the soup to nuts of how you put your backing tracks together.
I think the caged stuff finally hit my 🧠 and came together. This is the best explaination ever seen. I love the guitar, I wondered if it was custom shop with the 21 frets and vintage trem. I like the explanation of the floating trem pulling other string out of tune slightly with big bend.
Wonderful lesson. I am just now starting to learn CAGED and have been trying to visualize it in exactly this way. Would love more lessons like this. Thanks!
Hi Adrian. While there are lots of CAGED videos out there so few have useable licks to go along with them. Please consider another video like this in the future. Just excellent.
Great lesson. You should do a lesson on major CAGED licks for indy rock. Like some Pavement or Dinosaur Jr. inspired licks. Or maybe do something like that for minor CAGED licks?
Completely agree with you that CAGED is one method to really check out. To me it all became clear, when i realised that the FIVE CAGED positions correspond with the FIVE different strings. As the high and low E is simply doubled there is no more musical information to expect. Logically with five different strings there can POSSIBLY only be five different root positions as a matter of fact. Curious to learn if you agree on that.
Adrian, your lessons are always interesting, well done and very useful. Thanks for all your help…. But I would really like to see your lessons with the up-close camera angle showing the guitar the way we all see it when we are playing. Any chance of that? It would be even much more helpful. It would give your lessons another edge on your competitors. 😎
Hi Adrian. Thank you for your channel! Been enjoying it for couple of years. I have radial nerve damage. Just fell from sky. Can no longer play a note on guitar. Ever know or experience with such a thing. Reaching out to anyone for advice. Docs are stumped.
Worth noting that these licks could be used with the relative minor (Em in this case) as well. Sometimes they might benefit from minor (pun intended) adjustments to emphasize the different root note, but you could certainly use these as a starting point. Edit: Forgot to say thanks for the licks!
Great lesson. I think Don Ross Skinner seems to need more attention for his contribution to the sound of Julian Cope's best era. Can you analyze what he did that was so great? He seems to have fallen through the cracks of time!
I've been playing for what - forty odd years? Can't play like you. Trade you my hair for your long fingers. You are a great tutor, but you have a native ability many of us lack. Do what you do, man.
A bit of clarification for you. CAGED really isn't "zones," because they can move, depending on which chord you want. No, it's really a reference to chord shapes. Those chord shapes are then associated with, say pentatonic shapes, both Major & minor. Then, the pentatonic shapes are associated with licks. Together, chord shapes and "lick" shapes are how anyone can learn a style of chords, fills and licks that they can play whenever they want to use them. That's how you use CAGED to orient yourself with the fretboard. Nice licks, BTW
