[@MikeFranklin69]

Dude. Just found you. Dead fan here. Been playing for almost 30 years. This is a game changer! Never thought i would learn guitar theory from Tom Segura. LOL. Thank you man!

[@alberta1939]

Stich! Man, this time last year I would've completely given up after the A shape but thanks to you, a couple of weeks ago I started to try to learn all my caged minor shapes using everything I learned in the major chord vid you mentioned along with everything you've showed me about intervals. I f'n nailed em!! I've gone from knowing absolutely no theory to figuring out how to build minor chords on my own! I've said it a bunch of times but I don't think it's enough. Seriously man, thank you! 👊

[@denniskwong9458]

This first two lessons have been most informative, definitely a few “a ha” moments. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@Daniel-zo8lm]

a-ha take me on moment

[@ToneManBlog]

I LOVE this video! It came at the perfect time in my playing and at the end, you say “I hope you’re smiling“ and I actually had a giant shit-eating grin on my face! You unlocked something really precious that I could not get at… Thank you so much!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Awesome to hear Tony! Watch the entire Caged Primer Playlist and let me know what you think

[@mikeferguson548]

Thanks Ian, good stuff! I don't typically see a whole lot of stuff on minor CAGED. Thanks for putting this out there.

[@ianrichardson3968]

I agree Mike, there are lessons on it if you trawl around, but whenever someone does a caged video it always seems to be the Major one. But if you know the minor one you can mix 'em just like your pentatonics. And as caged and pentatonics kinda go together it gives you many more possibilities. Plus there are songs using both. Stich addressed the Cm and G well also.

[@taossmith]

Glad you are back! I've never understood the purpose of CAGED until this video. You have a way of explaining things on the guitar I've only seen from you, Paul Gilbert, and Steve Stine. I wish I had more than 1 like to give.

[@ber5897]

Ok, this is awesome. I took lessons for 7 years a while back and built up some solid technical abilities, but never learned any music theory. It was all just learning tabs and playing covers. After a 4-ish year break from playing, I'm coming back and trying to learn how to improv and really understand some theory behind what I'm doing. That being said, I'm so glad I've found your channel. Learning the CAGED system was eye-opening. Learning how the CAGED method is applied (e.g. Sample in a Jar) is mind-blowing and exactly the type of thing I've been looking to learn. Next step: learning which chords sound good together and why. Thank you!!

[@bluzefreak]

Love that you get to it. Been playin 50 years and am now learning quickly without all the BS chatter, listen to me opine and impress myself.

[@MrArtist1971]

Again, fantastic. Ian for YT guitar teacher of the decade.

[@MAL1C10US1NT3NT]

Great lesson to kick off the new year! I feel bad for anyone who didnt watch the end. Sample in a Jar’s progression is a great way to internalize this concept. Thanks, Ian

[@michaeldematteis3409]

Thanks for the little sample riff.i would have thought before you were playing some totally weird confusing chords but thanks 🙏🏻 to you I’ve learned all these shapes and triads that are just basic major or minor.i love it I probably know 10 or so ways to play any given chord now

[@thecentralscrutinizerr]

THEE biggest misunderstanding I've learned so far about the C-A-G-E-D system from watching your videos is that the C-A-G-E-D are NOT NOTES but SHAPES played WITHIN a chord. Nobody ever explained it to me and you can image the confusion that set in as a result. NOW I'm beginning to understand the damn thing!

[@robthorpeable]

I love sample in a jar! Glad you went over that intro at the end of this lesson.

[@mtaway]

This is good stuff mate. Very clear explanation, your lessons have perfect pace for me to follow and understand. Thanks for your generosity with these carefully worked out teaching methods you've clearly honed over a long period.

[@bluzefreak]

Ditto

[@davidschlievert9863]

Enjoy the guitar chord talk immensely Ian, it surely does help one get more familiar ...

[@gregorysowten1196]

You are essential and brilliant. Clear and concise. I tip my hat to you sir. Big thanks

[@2000SkyView]

sample in a jar ~ very cool. never heard of phish. this caged primer is excellent. you are a great teacher!

[@therev6143]

such an awesome video...makes total sense....and thanks for mentioning that great players use this to work their way around, takes a lot of the mystery out of it

[@john-reecevanwyngaard1311]

I like the way you teach. I don’t know how I didn’t find your channel before. Thanks sharing your skills.

[@mudkatmark]

Just absolutely solid teaching. Please continue to do your thing!!! The way you present your material makes it all much easier to consume and put into practice.

[@mchammerabi]

Awesome man...grateful to you Hard to believe in 2 short videos years of frustration just evaporate

[@h4ck.b0x75]

Stich, you said, “knowing your chords is 100% the battle”, but if G.I. Joe taught me anything it’s that knowing is half the battle!!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

❤️

[@andrewptob]

This is the kind of lesson I need as a major scale kind of player

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

Yes you dont need to modify your instrument...Practice.I went to McMaster Music school in Cola.S.C. and 8hr practice days were the norm.Iwas able to develop a very solid technique through practice. .

[@jamesspinella2037]

Thank you for the lesson ~ this is real eye-opening content!

[@jimmccall8030]

This series and the MasterClass are amazingly well done and have helped me tremendously. Thank you!

[@glitterstorm.]

Please do more CAGED System Lessons Ian! :)

[@paulbrennan3734]

i stumbled across you by chance, so glad I did... you've really helped me connect the musical dots. Thanks man :)

[@RafaelRodriguez-mi4xv]

god bless you bro, you are a big help

[@declanlandy]

GREAT LESSON Thanks

[@Datfisherman]

I agree a lesson on 7th chords with the caged system would be really cool

[@jahissa]

Absolutely Brilliant lesson Mr. Stich Thank you very much

[@davidobrien7610]

You more than did your job; great lesson, and great Phish snippet at the end!

[@tomswift2x]

Me too. Seriously, thanks.

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

Stitch your'e the best !

[@CCChinaRider]

Finally Stich! Very happy you posted this video.

[@joenoia]

Happy New Year 2023🎉

[@lordrob13]

after watching your first CAGED video with major chords i started to wonder if it also applied to minor chords. i tried figuring it out for myself and i got some of it but this video helped me get the stuff i couldnt figure out. great lesson!

[@smultack]

awesome lesson; love SIJ explanation; first P song i learned in 1994. still waiting for Bouncing Around the Room!

[@laninhatavares1206]

Thank you for this post!!

[@wolfpac1970]

Another great lesson. Everyone should listen to Phish.

[@tfsgroi]

Thanks man, I was really doing that sample intro wrong and it's cool to see how after these two caged lessons what's really going on!

[@JohnnyFootwrinkle]

This really hepled! I've been meaning to get some more chord knowledge down but just never get round to it, just spent an hour playing with these. thanks man! :)

[@victorformosa2825]

Very interesting theory, many thanks stitch.

[@seanenglish3002]

Great video. Love your suggestions of how to learn all the chords by playing songs with different chord voicings. Love your Sample in a Jar explanation. I used to look at tab and think you claim that is a G, I guess I have to trust you.

[@peterhattan5048]

Stich Good video. Thanks for making this. I like learning the theory.

[@peterhattan5048]

I also like the challenge at the end

[@peterhattan5048]

I mean the phish song that u showed

[@samsondotse1475]

Marvelous method!!!

[@martynspooner5822]

As ever; thanks man, another step out of the rut

[@TylerAnselmo11]

Hotel California is a great song to practice this on as well

[@davidhoxit4274]

Thanks Ian...my forte is industrial automation but my hobby is learning how to be a better guitar player...and you have helped so much! Thanks again!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Industrial automation? Like the machines you see in a factory on “How It’s Made”? Cause if so, you have a new best friend, I LOVE that stuff

[@davidhoxit4274]

StichMethod Guitar yes just like the show on TV...I specialize I complex amplifier swashplate hydraulic pump setups,automated laser guided vehicles,programmable logic controllers, digital interface boards,temposonic positioning modules, digital and proportional servo valves and motors, and a great many things that are proprietary to my trade...please hold this info in confidentiality!! But my favorite love is music and artistry... where I can be myself. If I tell you I appreciate all you do i really mean it so I'm a true fan of your work and thanks again!! Love the You Tube videos!!!

[@davidhoxit4274]

StichMethod Guitar what I meant to say is as long as you refer to me as David guitar madman then we can talk about anything! Love your style Stich!!!!

[@jasonb9935]

Fantastic video Ian! It’s been so long ago I watched the excellent major CAGED video again. This fits in very well with it. Thank you!

[@alessandrozucchelli5905]

Where the hell have you been! Been struggling with this forever...thank u!

[@austinheimark5482]

Yes! Such a great lesson. Thanks Stichie :)

[@MrHellahardcore]

That’s a beautiful guitar!

[@vpelleri1]

Thanks, Stitch.

[@Gtraxx1]

gd your so good at teaching its unbelievable. Thanks a lot Ian

[@michielkool5569]

Im a bit sad that I only learned about your channel two days ago... Very inspirational, and incredibly funny here and there! thank you so much for this!! :)

[@StichMethodGuitar]

There is no better time than now! Sub with the bell icon to catch my live feed. Rock on

[@michielkool5569]

Way ahead of you ;) I'm a huge John Mayer fan, and got to know Grateful Dead just recently because of his Dead and Co tour of course. The Grateful Dead songs are getting better and better each time you listen to them, they're amazing! I will study a lot with your vids, first target is acing the blues!! Greetings all the way from Holland =D

[@jacksaintjack2844]

I am new to the caged system and I hear you showing major and minor shapes all over the neck, but what about 7ths, maj 7ths, min 7ths, 9ths. Thank you for an explanation. I really like your teaching style.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Watch my Caged Primer Playlist and then the free Masterclass

[@eddiemattingly]

Yet another home run. So helpful dude. Did you post the chart for fingering yet? Would also love chart from your major Caged lesson as you modified fingering from what I was taught. Cheers and thx again!

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Thanks Edward! Both the charts are linked in the description boxes of each video. Rock on

[@b51zack15b]

Thanks Ian

[@goodygumdrops]

Thank You Stich. After going over this lesson a few times, I realized how you can just look up the chords in a tab and then just work the CAGED system into it. Are you going to any Denver shows over Labor Day this year?

[@jezzbass1826]

Thnx!!!!!

[@josephgraham1075]

Do you have the sheet or chord to that anywhere. I was board and playing around on my phone because I don't have my guitar with me. I don't have a pencil or anything to write with on on but my skin. Yes I have wrote some good song from doing that, but In this case it's not going to happen. I don't know how I find this video its one from over 3 years ago. Can you please put heart beside it and comment, so I can find it again. Blessings,❤ n Aloha brotha

[@briguylor]

You've covered majors and now minors in the CAGED system. Can 7th's be done? How about a lesson on triads? You used one in this lesson. Thanks Ian, your lessons are much appreciated!

[@johnbart8052]

Great lesson. Thanks for passing on the guitar knowledge. I have been subscribed to your channel for over a year and have watched many of your videos which have improved my guitar playing tremendously

[@awsomeal100]

Inspiring lesson Well Taught.

[@frankpentimone1830]

nice, missed your lessons, another great one as always.

[@anthonylakatos1043]

Happy birthday Jimmy page🎸

[@brigs369]

that d minor shape e chord on the second fret has gotta be the first chord to me and my uncle grateful dead

[@Dottytherealtalkingkitty]

I watched 1st video 1st. You move pretty fast. That sample intro is awesome couldn't really follow the shapes tho.

[@musicletters7214]

Great Stuff! Happy New Year!

[@onefm1]

I'd love to see a diagram showing the minor chords embedded in the pentatonic shapes.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Keep going through the playlist…. It is lesson #8😉

[@youngb3]

thanks!!

[@astralchem]

I see that sheet of blotters ya got going there thats great man, typical phish guy

[@robertwilson1184]

Nice one as always!

[@jstnxprsn]

I find it odd that one of the minor chords has the same shape as an Amaj7 chord (1st & 2nd frets) I guess it makes sense. On the piano if you play a C chord (C-E-G) and combine it with an Em chord (E-G-A) you get C-E-G-A or a Cmaj7 chord.

[@boogieon12]

Thanks Ian! Great video. Not sure if you have any videos on tones or effects but curious how you made that sound effect on the last note of the Sample Intro. I finally bought a new guitar which I am enjoying the sound of and the fact that it stays in tune and doesn't ring on the frets. I have a cheap zoom pedal which gives me a tone that's okay but now I feel like an amp and/or new pedals might be fun.

[@grokman86]

so cool. thanks. you know you're getting old when you hear fish and think .... country joe.

[@Secretarian]

Nice video. I've been trying to incorporate CAGED into my playing for years, and in the last few years started using the Em, Am, and sometimes Dm shapes to add different voicings. I stayed away from C and G minor CAGED shapes because they seemed like finger twisters. You have confirmed that it's ok to do partial chord shapes for those.

[@Secretarian]

Thanks Ian. I must ad that I credit you and Marty Schwartz for giving me an appreciation for and desire to learn more about Jerry Garcia's playing style. Roll away the dew haha Thanks.

[@laibamustafa108]

When you play these bar shapes, for example what you did at 5:45 - does your thumb press in on the back of the guitar? My left hand thumb is doing that and is causing pain so I’m not sure if I’m doing it right. Thanks for the great content!

[@mojo9291]

Yesssssss

[@timothycasey5749]

An observation... It sounds like the root note and the bridge note are an OCTAVE. is that correct? If so, finding the bridge root note is simply finding the octave of the (nut root note).

[@hamburgmalte]

the tasty thin g-minor shape is a second inversion ;)

[@JFrank1994]

Thinking any more about the Zappa Watermelon in the mind of Stich?

[@iggykarpov]

1:10 Doozy? Are you sure, Stich? Etymology doozy also doozie, 1903 (adj.) "excellent, splendid," 1916 (n.), "an excellent of splendid thing or person," 😂 2:01 A minor shape 3:07 G minor shape 4:10 Thick shape for rhythmic component 4:24 Thin shape 6:21 D shape 7:14 C shape

[@staleyexplores]

good god man how many guitars do you have? yes very helpful lessons for me.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

32 now…. Too many

[@surfside16]

Do you sell a sheet with the Minor Chord Tones for each of the minor pentatonic CAGED positions? I put this request on another one of your videos.

[@joyoffilming9500]

Great video. BTW, in another video you mentioned a course on Udemy that you created. I could not find it as there are many search hits under „stitch method“ or similar search phrases. Any advice what to seek for?

[@suryaxps]

Clicked like even before seeing the video 😁😁

[@Rosayas-Healing-Music]

I think I understand the Caged system concept so far, my only problem right now is that the chords don't sound the same in progression as the previous progression (I hope it makes sense). For example a progression of E chord, d minor chord and c minor chord. All barres are on the 3rd fret so it is : E major chord (C shape), D minor chord (e shape), C minor chord (A shape). The problem is when I "transpose" or take the chords a shape higher. THeY DON'T SOUND THE SAME. For example: E major chord ( A shape), D minor chord(D shape) and C minor shape(G shape). Awesome video though I wouldn't even understand what I'm writing without you. But could you please help🤪

[@StichMethodGuitar]

You are experiencing what we call different voicings. All voicings are going to sound a little different. When you are playing a song you should use whichever voicing the song uses. The voicings for this video are going to lead into… playing different voicings with other people and also mainly the road map for soloing all over the fretboard. So even though they sound different, they are supposed to and it will lead to a much better guitar freedom than you think. Keep watching the playlist and the main idea of caged will become even clearer.

[@Rosayas-Healing-Music]

@@StichMethodGuitar Thank you

[@jerrybean4772]

I love your teaching method. What order do I need to start with?

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Go to my playlists... they are in order... I suggest the Blues Primer and the Pentatonic playlist to start. Thanks for enjoying!

[@TheTwangKings]

I like Phish also. Great live shows. Can anyone explain why the drummer wears a dress? :-)

[@StichMethodGuitar]

If you would like a visual chart, showing each chord voicing and how they link together, then here you go! $1.49. goo.gl/Gj7NhY you will be linked and emailed the chart right away! Rock on, and I hope you enjoy the video!

[@DalyVideo]

are these charts freely available for Patreon subscribers? If so, where can I find them?

[@StichMethodGuitar]

All charts after December 2019 are available on Patreon. But if you become a member and need a chart, you can message me on Patreon as well.

[@bisaiya87]

How do I apply these and the major one in real playing?

[@straightshooter8662]

Hi I've asked this many times but never an answer. Could you please explain what you meant when you said you were looking at the guitar one day and everything clicked for you. Can you elaborate and explain? Or do a video on this. Thanks

[@StichMethodGuitar]

It’s what you are learning in this channel... how the guitar works..... it all came to me, but it was a lot that clicked

[@Beatboxerskills]

C shape sounds like the beginning of Stairway to Heaven

Oh yes!
