I played in a band about 40 years ago and I played rhythm guitar and that's all I was able to do. I stopped playing for 25 years after I had played for 15 years and decided to start back in to learning theory and some lead. I'm 67 years old now but really find a lot of joy getting back into music. I wish I would have found this video sooner but I'm very excited to start practicing with you. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate this. All my love to all of you Bill.

[@Pickupjazz]

Thanks so much for watching Bill! Glad you're getting back to playing!

I can really relate to that sentiment. Started playing after a hiatus. This was a such a good exercise. So rewarding! I must also add that in my 16 years of playing I had never understood the caged system like this. Amazing and thank you!

[@Daeva83B]

Bit younger then you, but a similar story.. I play and i sing, never really learned how to do solo's or music theory even. But for the last week, i am able to solo!! It's not good, but it's not false, hahaha.. :)

[@MaestroMi78]

I'm only 5 minutes into the video, but I just wanted to say thank you for putting in the split screen view of the guitarist's PoV! It's always been frustrating for me to sit with a teacher and watch them play, and then in my head try to flip upside down when they just did while I try to repeat it.

[@Pickupjazz]

Thanks we totally get that. Glad you enjoyed!

I must've watched 20 players explain cage, but this lesson absolutely nails it. This musician has the heart of a teacher!

So I am not the only one, ey? I was just going to post the same thing when i saw your comment. Yeah, FINALLY! This definitely “clicks” to me where as, the way others explain it makes my head spin… 😂

[@juliangall]

A brilliant explanation of how CAGED works while at the same time teaching the fretboard. I think this video is destined to become one of the best resources on KZbin for CAGED and the fretboard. I need to go back over it to be sure of the exercises but I can already feel it beginning to sink in. Thanks to Molly for a clear and fun video.

[@Pickupjazz]

Thanks!

[@circleback8874]

I think there should be an "Explained" video + this one, and then rename this too slow Complete Beginner's Lesson or something sets the right tone with an accurate pitch

[@chrisellenback6210]

Ya, but any beginner can do this. Its like playing ur first country chords, but worse yet, never stop playing them!!!? People who stay stuck in this routine will never progress, cuz they only do the same thing over and over. Sorry don't buy it

[@chrisellenback6210]

Challenge!!! Try playing every major and minor scale, all across the fretboard with that,!? I bet most can't do it

[@philipcarroll7151]

as a student of this...id just like to say im going to go through this video for the next couple of months a number of times and each time im going to focus on one chord...Im starting with C...playing C up and down the neck with proper technique until it's really easy and natural feeling and sounding. Then I'll choose another chord and repeat the practice after ive watch the whole video. Playing C past the 12 fret is really tricky, especially if you want a perfect sound tone...This instruction vid is really good...

I love your calm, relaxed teaching style.

[@hearpalhere]

The CAGED system seemed like magic when I first discovered it. I could hardly believe how simple it really is in a way and that it isn't taught sooner/wider to people starting out on guitar.

[@N0rmad]

I learned it on my own after playing for like 10 years. I really really really really.....REALLY wish someone had told me to learn within the first 3 years.

[@hearpalhere]

@@N0rmad Absolutely! I've been playing for over 27 years but I tell people I could probably teach someone everything I know in about 5 :-)

[@78tag]

I also found it on my own. I was looking at a set of "on-sale" books in a music store and thought this concept looked interesting. You can take it for its simplicity or you can go as deep down the rabbit hole as you want.

[@gatoryak7332]

I like the play-along exercises. They give the discipline that I lack. I LOVE the players point-of-view. All guitar tutorials should use it. I like the reminders to adopt a Zen mindset. It opens my mind to enjoying the moment of meaningful learning instead of just getting to the end.

[@Coolcatgrooves]

I agree with you, i feel this is what is lacking in most instruction. It's tedious and yet it needs to be done.

[@jeffreymccrickard2347]

I know my comment about Molly will get lost in the mix of all the comments about her, but she truly is a magnificent teacher. I first saw her explaining shell chords a few weeks back and couldn't believe how well she explains and makes it simple. I've been trying to wrap my head around CAGED for a while and because of this video, not all the other CAGED video's on the ol tube, I finally feel I understand it. I sat here for about 2 hours and got all the way through it, now time to practice.... Wish I could buy you a beer Molly!

[@SWLowe]

Yes, I watched every minute of this video and diligently played back sections as necessary. I can now identify the root notes and connect the shapes. These fundamentals had been missing from my understanding. I’ve got it now! Thank you!!! I subscribed and look forward to learning more from this excellent teacher. Thank you.

I have dipped my toes in the caged system numerous times in the past, but have been put off by information overload and been left feeling a bit dazed. Maybe I'm ready now and the teacher has appeared, OR, this is the best step by step explanation of caged (learning to walk before you can run) on KZbin, and quite possibly the entire internet. Or, maybe both. Thank you Pickup Music and thank you Molly.

[@holboroman]

This is awesome. I have spent months mastering the 5 chord shapes in several keys and I seem to be able to navigate them at a basic level with some hesitation.

This course is amazing and Molly is the best teacher. I can’t wait to dive into the rest of this, and if you’re not already a pick up music member, you should be! There’s so much content for every level of player.

[@jamalpress]

Actually considering joining now. What level would this be considered? I struggle finding helpful lessons like this because I’m not sure of what level I should be

[@petevannuys5642]

For me to say that the finger on fretboard is difficult positioning 😢

[@pattheitguy]

@@jamalpress i think like this: Level 0: What is a guitar? Level 1: What are the parts? How to clean, new strings, tune, take care of? When to do the above? Level 2: What is music? Are the keys on the piano the same as frets? Wow! There are 12! Level 3: How do I play every note on the first 5 frets from highest to lowest and back? Am I putting my finger tip in the right spot? Do I HAVE to use all 4 fingers? Level 4: How to play the chords (open) that match the 12 above, using the first 5 frets? Level 5: How to play them in frets 1-12 (i.e. not "open")? Level 6: How to strum all those chords? What is "rhythm"? Am i holding my fingers/pick right? Level 7: Enough theory! Can't you show me even a basic song that uses these chords I just learned? Not happy birthday! 🎂 Level 8: What are these different "tabs" things? Oh! That makes things MUCH easier! Level 9: What is a "scale"? Wait, you mean everything I've done is easier on my brain if I just know scales? Scales vs. sheet music vs. tabs... It's all the same! Level 10: Scales on the neck are really just the notes of a chord? I can play a scale anywhere! Level 11: Why are some scales different lengths, and why is there a blues scale? What scales do my favorite songs use (i.e. what scale(s) are they "in")? Level 12: So guitar solos are really just scales? Seriously? Level 13: How can I do on my guitar what I do on (another) favorite instrument (includes singing)? So sheet music is universal? Level 14: How can I play along with songs? I mean, how can I tell what key is in? Can I do this for songs I've never heard before? Level 15: What is this magical "shredding" you speak of? EVERY level above has an assumed step under it that says: Why do you keep saying, "You'll know" when I ask how much practicing the above step requires? My suggestion is to practice that step so much that you feel confident that you could make a video explaining after somebody else. "To understand, teach." This is no official scale, just some levels I made up off the top of my head to help you get an idea.

Love the "Self" perspective of neck,that has always been a issue for me. I have played since my youth and never went deeper into this,just bits and pieces. Memorization of fretboard should be a must.. Guess I am going to apply myself finally. When learning a complicated song,always have to watch someone else. The ability here is power,wish I did this thirty ago..

[@truthstillmatters59]

I came here already familiar with the CAGED system and the way they connect the fretboard but I never really dug in and practiced it in the way it was explained in this video. Practicing it is boring and I have a tendency to skip the boring parts and jump into a song which is one of the reasons I am not improving as a player. Just because I was familiar with CAGED didn't mean I really knew it. This lesson helped me more than I thought it would. The one area where I struggle the most is the D shape. I have trouble getting my first finger in position for the root.

It's good to see a Tutor encouraging the use of the little finger. My Dad taught me he wasn't keen on the use of the little finger, he was old school and i'm left handed. He taught me on a Strat turned upside down. He bought me my first LH when he was satisfied i was going to stick it out. God rest his soul. I expect he's laughing in his Grave at the fact i inherited a fantastic collection of vintage Guitars that are all right hand orientated and i'm a bloody Southpaw.

The main ones most players use is the E and A shape. The rest of them are difficult and at that point you are into just playing a portion of the strings. With E and A shapes you can play bar chords all the way up the neck. Keep in mind all the chords of E and A also work. For example the for the bar chord Am is just like Em at the nut. Same with 7th minor 7th ect.

This video popped into my suggested and I have to say I am impressed with this learning technique. I have been playing for over 20 years I have never taught professionally but I used to volunteer teach at a summer day camp. I really like the way you emphasize finding the roots while using the caged system. This builds up strength and coordination as well as sets up proper hand position for playing the major and minor pentatonic scales. I also think it’s great how you keep the students grounded to learning the fretboard . Excellent lessons for anyone wanting to learn.

One of the best teaching on caged system I've seen. I like how you connected them and had us do it hands on and visualize. Very good..you should be proud!!

wow i think this is one of the best tutorials i’ve seen for this method -- especially after having seen all the other ones this makes a lot of sense and is totally in depth -- thank you !!!!

Hey thank you for watching! Glad it was a big help!

It’s not possible to catalog all CAGED tutorials one finds on YT, but I’ve watched many and this is the best. Dr. Miller pays out the material at a nice steady pace and explains how the shapes translate up the neck and how they connect. This is bookmark material.

Thanks so much!! 🙏

Have to say it, Molly is a brilliant guitar teacher. Well done. Thinking about the fretboard and repeating the lessons really helps. A big thank you from the UK.

Fantastic lesson on the CAGED system. I've been using it for a couple decades but I can vaguely remember learning it and the difficulties I had with learning to implement what I learned. I wish I'd had a teacher as good as Molly back then but I'm grateful that I do now.

Thanks for watching! Molly is incredible!

Best basics of CAGED system lesson I have ever met on KZbin. Congrats. 😊

Thank you! 😃

Been a professional player for almost 35 yrs and a double bi-lateral in both wrist with both locking trigger thumbs were a nightmare. But this is giving me a bit of hope at least to play. Afraid the performing days are over but the exercises are good quality. Thanks so very much! Grateful regards.

Im on Day 4 E shape. I just realized... holy shit im getting this. Ive been wanting to learn this for so long and the way youre teaching this is finally unlocking this. Ive watched so many youtube videos on CAGED but the time and thorough way you take us through works. THANK YOU!

[@Pickupjazz]

That's awesome! Keep up the good work! 💪

I didn't realise how simple the CAGED system was. Great explanation and instruction.
