Finally a lesson on the CAGED system that actually makes sense

Ya I used to like someone else but this guy is able to actually convey they message. Now we know why a good teacher is a gift.

[@gabrieldumitran8093]

Despite I never heard of CAGED system (because I am a beginner) I was still able to understand what it is and how it works. Thank you so much for the tutorial :)

[@mireillelebeau2513]

Maybe the only teacher on y9u tube who teaches and doesn't feel the desire (insecurity)of showing off! Thank you

I was watching 3 different videos for that topic and I felt like looking at quantum mechanics. This explanation is just plain and simple making it both use- and beautiful.

[@jasonnolan7512]

This is insanely good, CAGED was always a bit of a mystery despite many attempts to unravel it, in one short and straightforward video you’ve completely broken it down to basics, just brilliant! Thank you.

[@SanjayMenon]

Wish I had these tutorials back in the days when I was just starting out ......anyways great job bro !!!! These tutorials are lit! 🔥🔥🔥

Wow, I'm glad you showed how to actually form these chords with ease because I've tried a whole bunch of time and gave up due to not being able to do G-form.

Hey Lee John Blackmore I was wondering if you could do a video lesson on "If you could only see" -by Tonic? That's my favorite song and would to be able to learn the strumming patterns and chords. Thankyou God Bless!

Hi this is Al, up until Now this was the best explained caged system I have seen. 🤪

[@matiastuset6075]

This is gold dude, I tried to understand the concepts when I started (not long ago) and everything seemed so confusing ! I finally understand it with your video and by roughly learning the notes on the fretboard. I guess Ill have to keep learning them to fully grab the concept. Thanks legend

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Great work! Keep going with it 👍

This is a pure gem!!!

[@gerarpope6581]

Okay, I am a little over a year into guitar playing. I've learned basic chords, how to barre, sus chords, and etc. It had frustrated me to really understand what the CAGED System is and how it works. I think this video has helped it all to click. Using the capo was everything in my understanding. Thanks....

[@gerarpope6581]

......Because I am still learning, I still have to ask, this process is just one of the many methods that can help a guitarist figure the correct tune or chord for any song right?

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Indeed it will help

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Try not to get too hung up in all that stuff, playing guitar is really about just doing your own thing and enjoying the creative process 😁🎸

[@bubbaole9036]

Thank you bro! Change the title to CAGED system for mere mortals. I had a Eureka moment. What a powerful system ! We move the nut by playing on CAGED roots and we can play any chords anywhere on the neck. WAO!

[@andybyrne3542]

I know it’s not good of me to watch artists and not subscribe etc to everyone and show support, but this lesson made me hit subscribe. Far from a beginner player and I’ve picked up more advanced things being “self taught” but it sometimes leaves holes in my skill set or one skill set compensates for another like my good ear training helps with my shitty rhythm(working on it) but for some reason the couple of times I tried to learn the caged system from a book, I couldn’t get it. Also it didn’t click from a couple other well known teachers on here or a couple people in person for some reason…I started learning/remembering where root notes of chords are some time ago and I decided to give this video a glance and it clicked! I still have books to study it but this made whats in the book understandable. Sometimes just playing songs and forgetting about theory is good but I know, knowing theory is what puts a player on another level. I have the range of motion to play advanced chords but couldn’t instant this until now. Thanks!

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

I'm very happy to hear this! Keep going with it my friend 👍🔥🎸

[@brownpunk1794]

I sincerely hope this comment is read by you..i have watched about 30 videos on caged and didnt understand a single one..it made me feel like a fool, after watching yours I had an "AHA" moment..you have a gift of teaching my friend..keep me coming...5 starts from me, all other CAGED videos should be removed except for this one..cheers!!!!

Big help in understanding trying to play the same chords moving up the fret board, thanks. I'm going to try to follow the same pattern for the major chords, correct? CAGED? That is my goal to learn to play each one of those up and down the fret board please..

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Yes ;-)

U are great teacher

Tanx very nice way of explanation

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Thanks

[@acousticallysane7703]

13:48 that's my problem right there ... Logically if we follow the pattern the barre should be placed on 10th fret but why u placed it on the 9th fret :) it happens only with the C form only rest all are fine ... technically the root note gets barred and then open chords are played following the CAGED ... I also barre the 10th fret and always get confused haha

[@assameboy4406]

Thank you sir 😊

[@ryand141]

So, the CAGED system is just about learning the fretboard, which notes are which?

hey whenever i do pulloffs i kind of touch the string below however i mute the strings with my 1st finger so it never rings but is it bad techinique???

[@fattyjaybird7505]

The G is played as the open G string

[@deivokas5048]

Why you are so good?

[@steveparkes]

That early example with the root on the 12th fret looked like a d minor to me. The 1st string looked to be on the minor 3rd a fret lower.

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

I'm not actually putting my finger down, it might look like but if you listen I'm not playing the top e. If I was you would be correct in seeing it as a minor

[@steveparkes]

@@leejohnblackmoremusic My ears are bunged up today but I didn't hear it as a minor just saw it as one :)

[@RecycledRocker2]

Simplified.... Ty

[@ottoman180]

Very interesting,not easy though. And something I don’t understand,if you put the capo somewhere,leave one fret open and make a g shape,I thought you played a g but I think you said it’s a c? 🤨 I’m so sorry,don’t want to be a pain but I just don’t get it. 😕

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

You must learn all the notes on the bottom E string and learn all the notes on the A string. Whenever you move a chord from the open position up the fretboard, with or without a capo, the name will always change because the notes change. It might look like a G chord but because we've moved it from its original place its name has changed, in the example in the video it has changed to a C chord, purely because the first note (the root) has changed from a G note to a C note.

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Don't worry at the moment if you still don't get it. I promise you I didn't get it the first time round either. As you progress as a musician, and as you become more familiar with the fretboard things will become much clearer. Honestly I didn't use the caged system for a long time I used a different system but now with my knowledge I see the power of the caged system. Just give it time keep playing and I promise you it will become clear.👍🎸

[@ottoman180]

Super Easy Guitar | Lee John Blackmore Thank you so much for your extra explanation. So I’m not going to worry to much about the caged system. But the thing is,when I have to use a capo,like on your video of “what’s up” from 4 non blondes,and I have to play a g chord,I leave one fret open from the capo and play the g form,right?

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Correct! For example if you have the capo on the 2nd fret and you play a G chord, it might look like a G chord but it will sound like an A chord 👍

[@ottoman180]

Super Easy Guitar | Lee John Blackmore sorry,can’t let it go.... but if I want to play the song without the capo,I play the same chords with or without capo,no? If I have to play a g chord with capo,I also have to play a g chord without the capo?

[@cynthiaanderson3252]

I’m getting better!!!!!

[@rohantiwari7801]

Saxon- Princess of the night riff.

[@jacklincoln7786]

So. The same sound of the chord is played, over and over again?

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Yes but it's understanding where you play it on the fretboard, it's to help you visualise the notes and chord shapes. Just do one chord at a time and all will become clear

Notes just repeat all over the fretboard therefore so do chords, this is just one way of visualizing them. Don't worry I didn't really get it at first either. Keep going 🎸
