Very helpful info, thank you. One thing that you may want to consider, is that there is an open F shape. First finger on E and B strings first fret; second finger G string second fret; and third finger D string third fret.

Wunderbar, und soo sympatisch erklärt!😊

Thanks it is sinking in i hope,learning on my own currently by the way i love music theory it y it.cheers

My favorite class in high school was music theory. It helped me understand how music is constructed. That know-how has guided me for the last 56 years to an incredibly rich understanding and enjoyment of all kinds of music. Now at age 72 I am learning finger style guitar picking and that solid base in music theory is guiding my finger style technique. Your explanation of CAGED is superb, simple, and your demo was clear and concise. It opens doors to playing better guitar. Thanks so much for creating this video. I'm a fan.

Den, what software are you using to create these fretboard diagram? Great lesson

The best explanation to know which note where is I've ever seen. Thank You!

If there was a Novel Prize for explaining the CAGED system in the most simple and best way, this guys would have won the Nobel Prize!!! I can read sheet music and play classical fluently but somehow CAGED system always eluded me, this is the only video on the planet when it’s explained in the best, systematic and logical way that actually makes sense 🙏

Hey Teacher, thank you very much!!!

Awesome stuff! 🥷 Maybe I missed it, but how do you know how many strings to barre with each chord shape? Thank you very much!

very nice THANKS

Just got the book, it’s great! Highly recommend it.

The best & simple explanation about the "CAGED" system..👍👍

I've played on and off for 30 years. Mostly off. I have never even heard of the caged system until now. It was all music theory and memorization. This makes sense and it's making playing guitar fun.

I was able to understand the CAGED system by watching many videos and it took time. Your video was able pull off the essence of it in 17 minutes. Very well communicated. Thanks. Had I seen this video as the first video, I would have saved a lot of time.

With a stick lol!

well done

You just got a new subscriber. Like others have said. Your " circle-of -5ths " tutorial finally started to make a little sense. Yet I only discovered you about an hour ago. TU now I have to get back to it. BTW I just picked up guitar abt 2yrs ago and soon will turn 70 Roger in WV

Oh wow 🎉

Somewhere around 9:00 my head started to explode. Now, I have played for many years, mostly self taught, and know the different chord shapes up and down the fretboard. I have never used the term triad, though I of coarse knew of it. This video eventually gets you where are going, but with all the colors, and thick string/thin string, and this is the same as that thing, it got to be overwhelming to watch.

The thing I don't get about this is that many of the shapes are so uncomfortable as to be barely worth knowing. eg open G shape barred to any other chord

I watched many videos to make sense of the CAGED system. You explained it in ten minutes! You are a genius.

It kind of makes sense, good job at simplifying it. So the CAGED system is a sequence of chord shapes in which you can play any major note?

At last it make sense thank you 🙏

Blues Clues for guitar players

Just got sent my book. Thanks very much 👍

Good instruction and very detailed

I’ve Got his beginner book and his cord online course and this man makes guitar 🎸 life ALOT easier to succeed. He explains chords and shapes of chords to be used up and down the fret board. He answers questions. He uses color to explain what notes do. Amazing teacher.

GREAT , GREAT EXPLANATION of this system. This is the very 1st time I watched any video concerning the CAGED SYSTEM. I remember the material easily because YOU did such a wonderful job explaining it. You are indeed a gifted communicator of material and you obviously made certain that you knew this material thoroughly. Well done.

Thank you for this very clear explanation. I do have one question though. What is the reason for the CAGED sequence rather than another one? Do they connect the same chord down the frets?

My god at last why hasn’t someone told us this before

mind blown! that was the best explanation of cage!! I fully understand it after something like 15 years of trying to figure it out then walking away from it thank you so so much great instruction

I have watched so many videos on the caged system, I think I understand it but maybe not. Every instructor uses C as an example for using caged. What about the other chords? Im sure I am missing something simple here,its right in front of me but I just don't get it

The biggest lightbulb just came on 🎉

Wow, that is the best way I have ever seen it explained. Great job!

Awesome now I have an understanding of triads and how they relate to caged system shapes

That’s brilliant, thanks for the fretboard explanation 😊

Excellent lesson! Thanks for making it so simple to understand, with great graphics, etc. These things tend to be so mysterious, but you’ve taken the mystery out of it! Thanks again!

Nice I understand now...good job mate

Man you break this down so simply. I always tried to play higher up the neck like the professionals do. Now I know. Thanks a lot.

You are the best Den! Thank you.

You explain things so well brilliant job thank you

Biggest load of bollocks on learning the fretboard I have ever heard. The best way to learn the fret board is to memorise every note on the fretboard: 6x12=72. Then you have to learn the relative interval from each note: R, b3, 3, P4, P5, 6, b7, 7, 9 and 13. I’m sorry to have to say that there is no easy system that can substitute for visual and muscle memory.

This is great. Wondering which pentatonic scale this is ? Major, minor… I’m asking because I’m looking for this in the blues scale. Cheers !

Got it, thanks bro

Dave Grohl never took a guitar lesson, (he says), but plays guitar just like this.. like a drummer would which he is. Thanks!!

There is one other option for finding out what string it is. It's knowing how your guitar is tuned on the open strings. Standard tuning is EADGBE. So the 4th string going down or 3rd going up would be the G string. I'm not talking about underwear either lol. His way works as well, however I like the way I come to the conclusion. It really doesn't matter how you get the answer as long as it's the correct answer.

Every time I watch this i thank you for sharing your knowledge. So here is another thumbs up 👍.

But there is an F open chord shape? Its basically a c shape except you additionally also fret the G string on the 2nd fret
