[@stanmanmedia]

This should have a couple million views... unbelievable. Thanks very much. I'm trying to understand how the scales now relate to the CAGED system, pentatonic and others. This helps me play songs all over the fret board, and I can practice scales, but is it a good idea to relate the CAGED system to what I'm doing with my scales practice. I'm a beginner who's only just started with some of the theory and methodology recently, as in the first year I've just been working on open chords and playing along to songs best I can to improve speed. Thanks for any help you can provide and I plan to now join your patreon. This video and the very basic one on identifying chords in keys blew me away. Thanks again!!

[@Samjamguitar]

Many thanks stanman! If you are now seeking to understand which pentatonic positions fit with each CAGED chord position then watch this next kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaetaKCVebickM0 👌 And feel free to join my patreon!

@@Samjamguitar I joined Patreon last night. I led regional tech sales software teams for decades, so the analogue of learning guitar and doing oil paintings is now my thing retired, so your manner of netting stuff out works with my brain. Thanks again Sam.. I took Van Morrison's "And the Healing Has Begun" and played it further down the neck using your lesson here. It sucked, but it was good practice.

[@Samjamguitar]

Great that your applying what I've taught to songs you already know..great way to solidify it into your playing 👌 and thanks for becoming a patron and supporting the channel.... I wish I could be more active and upload more content much more frequently however the videos on this channel take a lot of time and effort.... Hopefully with time the KZbin algorithm will find a much bigger audience for my content and I will be able to make more income from the channel which will allow me to commit full time to producing Lessons and extras for patrons.... In the meantime I will add anything of value to patreon and if you have any questions or requests for videos/tabs/charts etc then don't hesitate to ask👍

Thanks Steve G. Glad Your Enjoying The Lessons👍

[@terrywilhite]

Your videos are outstanding. I'm approaching guitar from a keyboard background. Why am I using a chord in one shape to play another chord? Is it possible to stick with one shape for every barre chord,? I'm seeing the translation of keyboard to fretboard with your videos, although such a direct video in your style would be amazing. THANK YOU for your incredible work.

[@danbronk9685]

This was the best caged video I have seen - your visuals and descriptions are always straight to the point and very clear - you have helped me so much and I appreciate all that you have done. I look forward to the chord shapes and scales future video

I have been trying to teach myself theory for the past few years after being a bit of a Campfire musician for over 15 years. Your videos are finally making it make sense.

[@Samjamguitar]

Great! Thanks.

[@simplyihyan7251]

can we use this pattern in other chord, like for example for E chord, can i use C shape,sorry newbie.

[@Samjamguitar]

Of course! Watch the video again and you will notice I talk about changing keys and using the same shapes learned I this video to create all other major chords across the fretboard!

[@ihcasos]

Wait- so the other G shape(the one with just the bar and high e string) can only be played an octave up from the original G chord? Or can it be used across the fretboard too??

[@Samjamguitar]

It technically is the open G chord! You also have to remember that these shapes Change location depending on the chord/key 🔑 these examples are all in G but if you wanted to play a B chord for all 5 shapes they would be in a different location entirely... this makes knowing the root note location essential. if you know them in one key then you know them in all keys👌

[@mariabr8954]

Concise and clear like always. You tutorials are really helpful because sometimes things get more complicated than they need to be if over explained. Thanks Sam!

[@DavidChadderton-g7d]

I’m sure that guitar teachers understand what they are talking about. Must be true. I’m sure that guitar players can play their guitar. I’m sure that guitar teachers explain their skill high speed. I’m not at all sure that guitar teachers can transfer their knowledge to learners minds and ability.

[@donlessnau3983]

But, this is the best explanation of the CAGED system that I've run across even tho I think it's pretty much useless.

[@thejollyllama1579]

So the CAGED system doesn't deal with inversions? All the chords are in root position?

[@LyudmilaÖdi]

[@JoelezekielT2024]

It's very complicated though 😅

[@Samjamguitar]

Not really! It's only using 5 open chords that you already know and moving them to different locations on the fretboard.

[@AbductedByRobloxians]

The issue really is is to where to move them to I think the concept of using these chord shapes is easy enough but most people don't know the notes on the guitar ​@@Samjamguitar

[@Samjamguitar]

@AbductedByRobloxians for CAGED shapes, you really only need to know the names of the notes on the E A D strings! Here is my video on memorizing the fretboard the easy way! Hope it helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqGwaIiXiK-SgLM

@@Samjamguitar thanks

[@jasonsworld333]

I really appreciate the breakdown of the hard barres like G and C, thats detrimental knowledge and few say it correctly. Studyin the cage system and as soon as I get tired of one shape finding the next and correlating the root notes has taught me an insane amount on the guitar in a few months, I had lots of experience prior, but just played riffs and random stuff for a long time, then a few years ago i decided to learn classically. Now I am here, and I know nearly all major notes on the fretboard, I have learned the first pentatonic shape, and the first major shape both being E. That combined with my prior knowledge of techinque I learned through riffs, has given me a unique style and Im only growing. I knew somehow when I got my first guitar that I was gonnna get good someday.

[@Samjamguitar]

That's fantastic Jason! Keep going😃 I would suggest going through all the videos on my channel (both theory and practical) plenty more to learn! but you sound like you have done alot of the right stuff in just a few months!

[@Samjamguitar]

Wow, thank you!

[@maxmaxed2887]

The final G shape is actually much easier to play than A shape. A shape requires 3 fingers to be placed on the same fret which is basically impossible, they simply do not fit together so close. So you end up doing double barre with your index finger covering that fret, which sometimes silences the 6th string.

[@Samjamguitar]

three fingers can definitely be placed within the same fret to form the A shape! it just takes practise. the more common approach is 1st and 3rd fingers (3rd finger barring 3 notes) and if placed correctly you will also be able to sound the high E string also!

[@maxmaxed2887]

@@Samjamguitar I can only do it on first 4 frets. My fingers are too large for the rest to do A shape

[@Samjamguitar]

In that case the 1st and 3rd (sometimes 4th) barre approach is best!

[@maxmaxed2887]

@@Samjamguitar Thank you

[@Abenjohar22]

Very helpful but little complex

[@Samjamguitar]

Hi Albert, the heart of this concept is really Just moving the open chords you already know around the Fretboard to make new chords. Provided you know these chords and can play Barre chords easily while also being able to identify the names of the notes on the E-A-D strings it's actually quite simple. If any of the three steps I have mentioned above are not ready then you may struggle. I have videos on all of these topics so be sure to watch these and allow enough time to fully absorb each subject before moving on.👍

[@ericktejeda5396]

How would it work with A ?

[@Samjamguitar]

Hi Erick, When using CAGED it is important to think of the Root note first and then attach the corresponding shape. in this video all the examples are in the Key of G and therefore you find a G note and depending where that G note falls on the fretboard this would then dictate the correct shape. to do this in the key of A the process would be exactly the same, Find an A root note and attach the correct shape (this is briefly covered at the end of each CAGED lesson. and if you are struggling to identify Notes on the fretboard quickly then i would definitely recommend this Lesson kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqGwaIiXiK-SgLM . I hope this helped and if you have any further questions don't hesitate to leave it in the comments!

[@ericktejeda5396]

@@Samjamguitar Alright I get it now, so my finger should land on an A root note, for each shape. I’ll rewatch some of them just to solidify it. Thank you.
