CAGED Arpeggios And The Pentatonic Scale - Improve Your Solos In 20 Minutes - Guitar Lesson

[@gavinb144]

This is one of the most IMPORTANT lessons on youtube. 20 mins of mind blowing knowledge.

[@BrettPapa]

Wow thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@williamdarnstaedt3118]

It's taken me 3.5 years of noodling to understand what your talking about. This just put me one step closer. Been watching your videos since I started back up learning.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@jauntyj3257]

You are the best at explaining the important things. I watched hundreds of videos on the subject and none of them were as clear; most guys on KZbin show off in order to sell something; you are the opposite plus you have a genuine positive energy... Love your channel.

[@BrettPapa]

Wow thanks so much! Glad you like the vids!

[@bianorodriguesbr2080]

So many people on the comments saying they have finally seen the light and I am one of them now. Man, I can´t thank you enough.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome to hear! Thanks for checking out the vid!

[@stevecastor4298]

Your pedal contest brought me here, your approach & method changed my thinking, been working on caged and for a short time, watch many videos try to pick up more, THANKX IM ABOUT TO TRANSITION AGAIN & LEVEL UP!! SELF TAUGHT AND GETTING STRONGER

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Way to go man!

[@greggerypeccary7491]

This is by far the best lesson on how the CAGED system works, blended with scales

[@gerardmichael8523]

Dude get his CAGED course. Worth every penny!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for the support!!!

[@golnaw4097]

Learning English with you I find it hard to make the most of the class. But you are a great teacher. I congratulate him

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks!

[@megarxidas17]

Finally someone showing the connection between the caged chords and the scale that goes with each chord.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@anthonyshaw8698]

Awesome lesson!! Very clear and understandable. Learning the cage system is paramount. Thanks bro🤗

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing Anthony!

[@davidmccaffery7977]

I'm still trying to grasp this completely. Your explanation helps me see this clearer. Never give up... Thanks 👍

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing David! Thanks for watching!

[@joetoe9207]

The only helpful instructor on KZbin. (For me). And that says a lot bc I’ve watched soooo many teaching videos. Tx!!!!

[@BrettPapa]

Haha thanks Joe! Glad the videos help ya out!

[@chadgarber]

Such a great lesson.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks!

[@timjoyalle318]

Your videos are helpful, Mr Papa! I've been a song player on the guitar for about twenty years. During the pandemic, I started learning scales and the caged system. I now have a firm understanding of how the scales all connect and why they are what they are. You help translate that understanding into music!

[@timjoyalle318]

And by the way, I just bought a Slash Signature Les Paul 2021! Three guitars now. On my way!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome to hear! So glad it helped!

[@lkoby6736]

Thank you for this great video. I have been watching " how to play guitar solo videos" for years, but never could understand the concept until now. Look forward to more of yours. You are a great teacher.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@mayday6682]

The way you explained is so clearly and slowly. Thank you for awesome lesson!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@micawber9893]

Wow. AMAZING video! The way you explained Arpeggios/CAGED and how they link to Pentatonic scales is so clear. Thanks for this video Bret! I agree with a previous comment: 20 mins of mind blowing knowledge!

[@BrettPapa]

Glad you liked it! Thanks so much for checking it out!

[@mrhyde2484]

This really helps me break things down so I can understand and start breaking away from running up an down scales hoping to make something sound good.

[@BrettPapa]

You got this! Thanks for tuning in!

[@jadonbull1601]

5:15 you hit the nail on the head here. Incredible how easy it is once you use the CAGED system to see how your favourite guitar player chooses the licks they play. Very good lesson!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks!

[@thomasnutter]

I can honestly say I’ve progressed further watching your videos than anyone else on KZbin, and I’ve been watching for a few years now, when ever I’m in a rut I try something new and I’m now learning caged and triads to help my scales sound more melodic, and yet again papastache has pulled it out the bag, keep up the great work, and keep on rocking \m/.

[@BrettPapa]

Wow man thanks! Means a lot! Thanks for checking out the vids!

[@TonyAguirreJazz]

Brett, This lesson is huge! I play Sax 40 years + and just picked up Guitar and this channel is insanely helpful

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome man! Glad it helped you out! Man I need to get some sax phrasing into my playing!

[@bradbury217]

I've always felt like your lessons were just above my play grade but I would watch anyway. Sometimes down the road something might click with me. Today you really connected the dots with seeing the CAGED chord in the pentatonic scale. Being melodic just became an obtainable option. Thank you

[@BrettPapa]

Way to go! I knew you could do it! It's a whole new world you are about to enter, hang on for the ride it's a good one!

[@mikedr1549]

Pretty sure it's the A Major Pentatonic scale!

[@williamsavran9256]

That is the "box 1" shape of the F# minor pentatonic scale. That is also the A major pentatonic scale that would fit over the "A" and "G" shaped chords in CAGED.

[@williamsavran9256]

You're right, that is the A major pentatonic that fits over an "E" shaped chord. F# minor and A major share the same notes.. The shape you linked is also the F# minor pentatonic shape that fits over the "D" chord, or what's called position 2 or box 2. It all about what you consider to be the root of the scale.

[@williamsavran9256]

I think you're right, but most of the time people just play all the notes in the box. He started on the 6th of the Amajor scale.

[@randommandom4691]

I'm so grateful for KZbin guitar teachers, specifically like you. I can play the Hendrix style licks now after practicing it for a couple hours! Thanks for providing the last puzzle piece for my fretboard realization!! I'd love to see more intermediate concepts/playing styles to help me expand my understanding and repertoire.

[@BrettPapa]

That is awesome! Thanks for checking out the videos! If you want to take things further I have an entire course on it called Hendrix Unleashed. Full deep dive!

[@achedangmei4375]

I learn a lot of scales, chord,how to arpegiate and don't know how I can solo melodicly but now i know how to solo. thank so much, Papastache.

[@BrettPapa]

You are welcome! Thanks so much for checking it out!

[@Markelton883]

Sweet Jesus papa the light has indeed come on for me thank you

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad I could help you out! Thanks for watching!

[@d24isDURIAN]

Thank you so much for this lesson! I have struggled to make sense of playing scales over chords for a very long time. This video had made complete sense of everything. You have a great way of delivering a point across unlike the other 3 videos I've watched. Thanks!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks man! Glad to hear the video helped you out!

[@blkleblanc]

I've been noodling in and out of the First (Minor)/ Fifth (Major) position of the pentatonic scale for a few months now; trying to map things out, focus on the landing on root notes, but I felt like I hit a wall. I started searching and it lead me to the world of arpeggios. I could see somewhat on how that could apply but it wasn't clear until I stumbled upon your video. This will help me find more notes outside of the pentatonic scale that I could use, to sound better within the progression of the song. Thank you

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome man! Glad it helped you out! More coming soon!

[@downhill240]

This lesson really clicked for me. I've been working with Triad shapes and this has helped me to visualize those shapes and find new ways to move through them! Thanks for sharing.

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Glad to help!

[@rockinrob6853]

Very good. A player speaking to players. Perfect vid.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@vaner9283]

Thanks. I've seen this concept before but didn't understand. Now I get it! That's a big thing. Suddenly I see how chord shapes relate to some of the pentatonic patterns and how you can add parts of the chords (arpeggios) to the pentatonics. You said it just right for me to finally hear it!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Way to go!!!

[@lancethompson2867]

Finally!!..A proper musical channel with proper musical lessons! Subscribed

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Thanks for the sub!

[@TheOriginalBillyYO]

Been playing for years and this has helped me so much. I’ve been stuck in the standard pentatonic. Thanks stache you’re the best been watching you for years learnt most of my Jimi stuff from you!!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Thanks for hanging in there with me! Lots more coming soon!

[@jesussavesrick]

I’ve heard this exact lesson so many times before, but I’ve never seen or heard this explained like this nor this well. Excellent, thank you!!!🙏

[@BrettPapa]

Wow awesome! Glad it worked for ya!

[@jkidd152]

I know my pentatonics all over the neck but didn't know about transferring chord shapes with that mindset. You just blew my mind! I'm gonna go jam. Thanks!

[@BrettPapa]

You are welcome! It's the good stuff! Have fun! Thanks for tuning in!

[@jasonlight8813]

Some beautiful sounds coming from your fingers. I love your lessons chap, and always learn something

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@MichaelMyersDoverPA]

Holy hump. Mind-blown to say the least. This video is one of the best I have ever seen. The amount of concept followed by practical samples is exactly what is helpful to be able to understand the why of how things work, which allows me to understand and modify to suit my own playing preferences. Extremely well done, sir.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Glad you liked it and it helped you out! I aim to please haha! Share it with friends if you think it will help them as well! Thanks for watching!

[@leandrovolpini544]

GOAT TEACHER. killer teaching. congrats from brazil

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@jeffreycarota8548]

Love this! Great teacher Bret

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@chadgarber]

Whenever I see a video like this it makes me wonder why I didn’t already do this because I know the individual components!

[@BrettPapa]

I know! Totally was the same for me. Just needed someone to point out the obvious to me lol!

[@chadgarber]

Brett Papa Exactly. I always hung out in minor land with solos as well (I heard you say you did to). Major solos have a lot more options!

[@bescanocft]

yes! I feel the same way everyone else thanking you for the lightbulb moment! and what sucks is it happened on a long drive to work and I'm itching to get my hands on a geetar! thanks again!

[@BrettPapa]

Haha! Gives you something to look forward to when you get home! Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

[@hrmntby]

I love this vid. I already am a pianist and am very familiar with scales and arpeggios, inversions, number system, etc but I appreciate how you do an amazing job covering the basic fundamentals while also helping us with the fretboard and caged shapes etc it really is a great pace you use to teach and don't waste any time on anything while also properly explaining things. Its great for anyone whether you are new to the instrument or new to soloing or just starting off learning music. This is the vid is great for anyone learning the guitar. Great and efficient vid

[@BrettPapa]

Wow, thanks man! Glad you liked it! Thanks for checking it out!

[@ph9100]

Hands down one of the best instructors around, transparent musicianship. Thanks man 👍🏼

[@BrettPapa]

Wow thanks Paul! Glad you like the videos!

[@mindswim]

this clearly articulates and outlines what i've been trying to do but get lost doing

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad it helped you out.

[@johnrisher3007]

Thank you so much. This sounds great. I love Southern Rock

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing!

[@lucasshoe6656]

That is a beautiful strat man, thanks for the lesson too

Thanks! You are welcome!

[@MizzLeone]

The best guitar teacher on the internet, by far. Thank you SO much Brett!

[@BrettPapa]

Wow, thanks! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@michaeladshead-sonofthecit3701]

Thank you Brett I'm starting to understand it now slowly. Your a fantastic teacher 👏

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! You are welcome Michael!

[@Magnum5160]

Two decades of rock guitar and linear modal shredding under my belt, but before this video ended tons of blues songs I’ve heard but never played or understood just fell off my fretboard from what Brett just explained.

[@BrettPapa]

Sweet! Glad it worked for ya!

[@88Gibson1]

Brett I love all your lessons you are an excellent teacher/player and with a great sense of humor. Keep up the great work

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Glad you like the lesson!

[@88Gibson1]

Absolutely, Also I have noticed amp wise you seemed to switch from the Divided by 13 to the Freidman with some sort of Power Attenuator? Sounds really good with your Strat.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! That is the Universal Audio OX! That thing is insane!!! The amp is a Friedman Small Box and I love it! I switch it up with my Divided by 13 depending on what I’m doing. Love them both in different ways!

[@ethiarnogaming2132]

This video was like a key to a huge door in my understanding of the guitar. Many thanks.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome man! So glad it helped you out!

[@alanIrl99]

That..made a lot of things fall into place that I just could not get to fit together before. When you talked about the arpeggios - a hell of a lot of stuff clicked. Lovely playing and damn cool guitar too :) Thank you.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@jimmyjam9662]

I am sure this will help in my phrasing. I get this theory and instead of trying to make scales melodic, this worked right away. Can't say thank you enough. I subbed. You got my attention !

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Thanks for the sub! Thanks for watching!

[@trevorvogler4661]

It's good to have this explained, great stuff

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks!

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

Wow Papa, you explain things very clearly. Thank you for your insight, I feel less in the dark tonally in a progression after listening to you :) You're one of the best communicators of real world guitar application I've seen over the years. I wish you lived closer, than across the Pacific Ocean. I don't understand why someone would down thumb this video?

[@BrettPapa]

Wow thanks! Glad you like the vids!

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

@@BrettPapa You're welcome, take care :)

[@IamtheActionman]

Great advice from a great player and dude. I learned it years ago but I've learned something from Brett watching this that I didn't really think about before. Very grateful for the share.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks man! Glad you liked it!

[@timothyholmes4588]

this was very helpful. as I've always been in shredder mode and always wondered how these guys think when playing a bluesy idea and it's coming together and making me sound more mature in my licks . I like this approach .and the video you made with Tim pierce helped as well when he explains how he thinks when playing this way . very cool

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad the video helped you out!

[@bluesyshredder]

You remind me to somebody who play guitar like you when I started learning to play guitar sometimes in 1990. He moved house to another town before I completed the whole lesson he taught me. After he left I stopped to play melodically. Instead I was more into shredding and went like a speed demon when it came to soloing. Now everything has changed. I put musical aspects forward and do soloing for what it is called for - and what you do in the video is taking me to further musical exploration. Good Job.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Sounds like my path as well. Thanks for watching!

[@robertjohnson5795]

I concur. Great lesson and really fun teaching style. Excellent!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Glad you liked the video!

[@zamap4278]

I remember years ago watching your lesson on Red House and getting past the intro and quitting because I thought it was just too complex. Many years later, I'm only now really getting into music theory and guitar theory and I'm having a blast! Learning scales was fine and good but you really helped me put all these scales to use! Thanks from a long time viewer in South Africa! 😁🙌

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome to hear! Thanks for hangin around all these years! Glad its all coming together for ya!

[@1974xaviers]

Very good 👍 video... Superb .....it helped me a lot. Highly recommend it to all the viewers

Sweet! Way to go!

[@stevekirby7627]

The caged system has de-mystified the fretboard a lot for me. This particular video tho really helped.A big peice of the puzzle just clicked in place... mmm very satisfied. Thx.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad it helped you out!

[@benjaminjames8651]

Thanks heaps for this Brett. I've seen enough youtube videos to grasp the CAGED system, which have been very helpful, but your style of delivery and your demonstration here really galvanised the concept for me. Looking forward to commiting my fingers this way, and to viewing more of your content. If it helps, I was led to your videos through Tim Pierce's channel, which I came to via Rick Beato. Liked and subscribed. Thanks again. Ben

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks Ben! Thanks for the sub. Glad to hear the lesson helped you out!

[@stevecouch2113]

Brett. another hammer on the nail. thank you.

[@BrettPapa]

You are welcome! Thanks for tuning in!

[@fattyz1]

Yes this is real helpful. During covid, I memorized all the major scale positions and so, all the modes. But how the pick the notes and more importantly, to move up and down the fretboard and sound like something? The arpeggios are targets to aim for.

[@BrettPapa]

Good plan. Arpeggios are a great way to get melodic!

[@නාගසේන]

YOUR BEST LESSON.THANKS !!!!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@markmcbride5268]

Hey Brett ... thanks for this lesson and the 3 free lessons. Every time I check out one of your lessons, another door opens for me and the things other great guitarists seem to do so effortlessly suddenly lose their mystery and complexity thanks to your comprehensive, humorous and totally engaging delivery of their secrets. Just something, if you ever run out of ideas for your next video … I have noticed in many of your lessons, not to mention the 4 courses I own of yours, you do some incredibly tasteful ascending pentatonic runs … not the note sequence repetition stuff but the chromatic, string skipping, stacking with blues notes and major 3rd's stuff (boy was that a mouthful). I would love to see a full lesson on this if you get a chance … have a great festive season mate! Cheers, Aussie Mark

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing man! Glad you are liking the vids! Thanks for checking them out!

[@kimwilhelm5656]

You might make a video on how every pentatonic scale has its own associated chord. How the Am pentatonic scale is associated with the G chord and so on. I ran with what you pointed out in your video, so I took it to the Nth degree and thought it should help me to remember my Pentatonic scales better.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome!

[@maryannehickey2741]

First time I’ve seen you. Really impressed with your explanation of integrating scales, caged and arpeggios. It’s still too much for me but I’m hoping little by little it will sink in. Thanks!

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Got lots of vids like this. Don't be afraid to check out the main page. Tons of other great teachers there as well!

[@ShayCat]

Wow, thank you so much for this! As a female artist, I always wanted to try solos and this helped a lot in understanding where to start!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad to help! Thanks for watching!!

[@jorgemonge8082]

Dude, I cannot thank you enough, this lesson was such an epiphany to me. HUGE thanks from Costa Rica!!!! Love your playing!

[@olechristianchristophersen8876]

Wow this one is absolutely great for soloing.I love it! Thanks Papastache

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing!

[@cameronwinters5179]

Very useful! "Chord shapes within the scale" is a key idea. And oh damn that is some sweet tone...

[@BrettPapa]

It's where it's at! Thanks, glad you like the tone! It's a great amp!

[@uspsdaveable]

Wow I’ve been playing for many years and today the light came on

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Way to go!

[@zrodanen2]

Thank you Pappa. I already knew your videos but now I returned to them heavily. You know how to rock. And by the way. love you guitar sound. I intend to replace my bridge humbucker in my HSS strat for a weaker ( clearer one) just because I watched the video about your gear. Awesome sound.

[@nicklopetrone3611]

blew my mind today. its all coming together.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Way to go! Let the fun begin!!

[@ArneMenting]

Wow, this consolidates so much of the stuff i've been learning the past months into one fun & practical framework... Thx papa!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@warngrace]

I'm locked in to you now my man. Love the lessons. Especially the one with Guthrie. You two are top of the chain

[@jondana8380]

Hey Brett, I've been playing all my life, so I'm pretty far past this stuff - but I do want to say after watching this video that you have done a really exceptional job of explaining it in ways a beginner should easily grasp. You're a natural teacher, man. Well done, good on ya, and best wishes for the future. OH, btw - experienced or not, I'm jealous of your GORGEOUS tone on this video!!! Dude!!! Could you explain it (the amp design, setup, etc)? Students, sit up straight! This guy is great teacher! (full disclaimer: I have no idea who Brett is, I just stumbled on this video)

[@BrettPapa]

Haha, thanks so much! I'm just plugged straight into a Friedman Small Box and have a Strymon Flint and Line 6 Echo Park in the loop.

[@Snostrebla1]

This is what I've been looking for! A lot of information out there on the CAGED system but this one shows how to use it. Thank you!

[@BrettPapa]

Oh just wait! Much more to come! Thanks for watching!

[@jrmcelro]

The lick examples were the missing link for me. I've been stuck on sounding like I'm practicing arpeggios because I didn't have good example licks that stuck to the arpeggio topic and were musical sounding, like these. Thank you so much!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! You are welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@skoffco]

I’m a bluegrass picker and I would love to see how this would work in that music sense. Still haven’t been able to wrap my head around it!

[@BrettPapa]

Watch Guthrie Trapp. It is what he does.

[@George1963]

Brett... Brilliant think I'm on the cus of finally how it all works and plays together... Thank you 🤘

[@BrettPapa]

Sweet!

[@joeyride58]

this has helped alot in understanding how 2 use the shapes in the caged approach... now to try and apply it to these old fingers... thanx Brett !!

[@bobquinlan]

Fantastic Brett! Been looking for this synthesis for a while. Now I can move forward in learning lead. Been a lot of various parts until now. I know the chords and the Pentatonics and some licks, but the licks were like floating pieces of knowledge, not landing anywhere. So the CAGED shapes put to a root in the Pentatonic allows that CAGED chord to be articulated on key. And the licks now can be selected which fit the chord place. Lick-on-Chord-on-Key. Well done sir!

[@BrettPapa]

Thank you sir! Glad you like it! Thanks for tuning in!

[@bobquinlan]

Thanks, do you have a vid laying out the different categories of lick techniques? Kinda like Tim Pierce does in your video of him in Melodic Blues Soling Tips ( at 4:44) Like also his palm mute and brush strings technique also mentioned. Starting melodic soloing after years of rthym guitar and not knowing what I don't know I want to cover the bases. Thanks for your energy and generosity of spirt that comes through.@@BrettPapa

[@autocrow]

You really have to think hard when playing like this!! These lessons help a lot. It's neat when you start to see how things connect, like how the C shape shares notes with the D shape. I like the way you suggested mixing it up. Just throwing in a few target notes from chord shapes mixed with my regular scale noodling helps a lot. Thanks...

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing!

[@QcHsTheRocker]

Your the best my friend. I love the way you explain the guitar lesson. There is a lot of years of explanation and understanding in that.

Great food for thought... Thanks for sharing.

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Glad to help!

[@erikpost1381]

Cool lesson, thanks! I would like to nitpick a little bit if I may: it may be somewhat confusing to call the scale at 5:27 an A major pentatonic, because you start on F# rather than the intended tonic A. So as it is played it sounds more like (and arguably is) F# minor pentatonic. When practising, I think it's important to go "'my pinky's on the tonic" in your head, and perhaps exercise in a way that emphasises that.

[@BrettPapa]

Yeah I hear ya.

[@bkjkb1]

You nailed it solid. Thanks a ton

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing!

[@Annunaki_0517]

Brett, Can you please share some details about that gorgeous Strat? Pickups? Origin? Builder? I want to know all about it! Like, do you ever leave it unattended and if so where/when????
