The CAGED Guitar Blueprint with Caitlin Caggiano

The CAGED System is the best tool we have to understand and navigate the fretboard. The five CAGED Shapes will greatly improve your skillset for both rhythm and lead playing. Connecting the 5 CAGED Shapes allows you to create shapes that will outline any scale for any key. Caitlin will show you the step-by-step process of connecting all five CAGED Shapes to create a “blueprint” for any key. Once this blueprint is formed, we can then outline any scale in that key.

Best and most concise explanation of CAGED I've ever seen. More please!

[@waynegram8907]

PREMIER, Make a lesson on layering the major pentatonic box on top of the minor pentatonic box in each CAGED positions. You have to know how to LAYER both major and minor pentatonic boxes in each CAGED positions this what Jerry Garcia did often instead of Bluffing there way around the fret board.

[@Staypuft1981]

Oh man her sense of touch must be phenomenal ❤

[@phogue1]

Great concise explanation. This gives a great roadmap to learning the scales. My challenge has always been learning the notes higher on the board so they are as quickly recognizable as the first five frets, but I’m getting there.

Thanks saludos desde España

[@patrickvanvlooten]

Great lesson! That last part especially, the blueprint is something people often forget. Caitlin reminds me of a young Elizabeth Mitchell by the way.

[@cagedoctaves]

The fly in the standard CAGED method's ointment is both MINOR (especially the guitarist's best friend the minor pentatonic) and the seven 3nps shapes. This is where using the octave linking comes in and this also includes the pseudo 3nps minor pentatonic shapes used for sweep patterns. All explained on my website.

I dub thee Caitlin Cage!

[@skintslots]

The G shape is very difficult for those of us without spider fingers. You have to learn to abbreviate these.

[@offbeatbassgear]

The challenge that I find with the CAGED system is that there are several shapes that are really just quite painful and difficult to fret and finger fatigue sets in pretty quickly. I did find the clip useful in diagramming how to link the shapes.

[@mooseymoose]

Practice makes the difficult easy.

[@offbeatbassgear]

@@mooseymoose It's my big bass player mitts, I need a five string and seriously thick strings. Really its more of an issue with the G and C. It is really simpler with E, A, and D..

[@mooseymoose]

@@offbeatbassgear Well no one carved a commandment in stone that says you HAVE to play all the notes in a chord shape. The one and the third will imply major or minor.

[@sniffrat3646]

There's honestly no reason to use a G shaped barre chord - usually you'll just use 3 or 4 of the notes. This means you can use a different hand shape

[@chocomalk]

The chords. although usable are more of a reference for the system itself when you move the position outside of the first open position.

[@Staypuft1981]

Omg she is gorgeous, I can’t even hear words, Molly miller who

[@donjuniper]

Oh, Charlena

[@damonstewart70]

Is that the rick graham model charvel

[@gigmandrew8975]

I'm sure that I can get something out of this, the people with smaller hands and shorter fingers are gonna say, " yeah right "

[@Ben_the_Ignorant]

THAT is being methodical!

[@derekfairley]

Very useful but explanation is oddly rushed for those following along.

[@michealhand1001]

You can reduce the speed

[@timnotbrianmay]

Completely agree, but for real world application, I really think you're making the g shape and the d shape WAY TOO HARD!!! I would say that it is absolutely crucial for a player to be able to see the shapes correctly in their head on the fingerboard, But seeing them in your head, and playing them on your guitar are actually two somewhat different animals! Of course, I guess we'd get into the three minors, and the two connecting areas, to make five 😸😺...

[@oliverhairston2937]

Picks up guitar he hasn’t played in 2 years plays 3 chords and puts guitar down-I ’m GoNnA sTaRt PlaYiNg AgAiN!

[@rogerspalding5673]

Caitlin, obviously you're a very knowledgeable and well practiced guitarist. I do not consider myself to be an idiot. I am an early intermediate player, employing the E shape barre chords up and down the fret board fairly easily. There is just way too much information, presented at super human speed, in this vlog for me to acclimate. Replaying this episode over and over again is not all that much help. I'm in no position to tell you how to teach the caged system. However, this one informative session needs to broken down into five separate sessions in order for me, and others in my postion (gee, I hope there are some) to interpolate this info into my education. Is this possible? Or, are there other episodes or vlogs that I should be using instead? Thank you for efforts to convey your experience to others. Live long and prosper.

[@livesongs82]

No comments, blank profile and just wants to play down a teaching moment... nah Roger go touch grass

[@ronnieDshman18]

Idk dude it’s pretty simple. Just take it chunk by chunk

[@samrsmiley]

“I’m in no position to tell you how to teach this” Proceeds to tell you how to teach this.
