The CAGED System: C Shape - 9 Essential tools that live within the C Shape - Guitar Lesson - EP556

[@guitarman12325]

Nice lesson Brian. I for one would like very much to see a mini series showing the same thing in the other chord shapes.

[@robertfarris8565]

Me too!!!

[@speedsquishstupid]

3rd-ed!

[@randyhess8063]

agreed. it opens up the value of caged

[@GRIP823]

No doubt. I was hoping for the deep dive series as soon as I saw the title.

[@douginny]

What he said

[@robinanderson1115]

YES,YES,YES, PLEASE DO A MINI SERIES .THIS IS THE BEST LESSON I'VE SEEN ON CAGED BREAKDOWN BRILLANT . THANKS

[@boomerdell]

I’ve watched a lot of lessons on CAGED, and Brian, I can tell you in all honesty this lesson, this approach, is exactly what I need. It’s the best, most understandable, and most easily applied CAGED lesson I’ve ever seen. So a resounding “Yes!” from me in answer to your question whether you should turn this into a serious on the remaining CAGED shapes. Fantastic!

[@motocephalic]

you do realize that you present so much knowledge in one video, its overwhelming to we beginners. But I am so grateful.

[@_underscore_9271]

That's what the chapters are good for, watch as much as you can absorb, practice it, then come back to finish the lesson once you're comfortable with what you've learned

[@78tag]

Yes, all the theory can be overwhelming if you try to bite off more than you can chew. Believe me, if you can just stay with what he is doing in that four fret space (that is the E chord in a "C shape") and accept that you are doing nothing more than cowboy chords up the neck you can get a lot out of this. Let all the talk about scales, Mixolydian, Major/minor, the other CAGED shapes etc... go by, that stuff can be absorbed and will make more sense later. In the meantime you will have gotten a lot further ahead because of this lesson. Learn it. I wasted a lot time and opportunity to be a better player trying to "know" everything instead of putting more energy into just playing. You can do that with this lesson. The first goal of learning to play guitar is to enjoy playing. Sorry, I got a little carries away with this comment but I can tell from yours that you appreciate how good these lessons are. :)

[@waynelowman7373]

Brian, this is another one of your great lessons. I just never put all the concepts into a box using chord from CAGE. Please think about a series using the other chord shapes. Thank you so much for your time and energy putting these lessons together for us.

[@ldf399]

I'm definitely someone who would enjoy a breakdown of all the caged shapes with a mini series type thing. Great lesson.

[@ronrago2696]

"I can do anything anywhere!" This is going to be awesome... Thank you.

[@danielwood3414]

Excellent please do more on the other shapes. Your attack on the subject is so good. Calm clear and connected. You are easy to listen to. Thank you.

[@robertcampbell1181]

Definitely do all the CAGED shapes. Your approach is very useful to this player going on 60 years with the guitar. Keep it up- please and “thank you so very much.”

[@rhythmmmanavery]

Hey there! Yes, please do all five positions! I’m a new student of yours. I love how you explain topics so thoroughly. I have had many light bulb moments in the short time I’ve been an active melody member! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!!

[@ek19751]

Thanks Brian, please make this a series and expand upon the 4 other shapes too :)

[@jonathanhguitar]

This lesson alone is already worth the yearly subscription for active melody. Regardless what style of music you play, this is a treasure.

[@adriancodrea2684]

Guitar tutorials don't get better than this and Brian is the only one capable of doing it, great stuff Brian, thanks

[@78tag]

I agree that his lessons are among the best but sometimes it's good to get another perspective from others and there are a few really good ones out there. Nothing wrong with a second "good" opinion. I got an awakening from this episode because of some excellent ideas I have learned elsewhere. He has a way of putting things in simple terms. Use every resource that helps. It only makes the lessons here make more sense.

[@TonyClarkeThinks]

YES. Please do this in all five shapes.

[@rajennaidoo7]

Brilliant presentation Brian. I am NEVER BORED, rest assured, whenever I click on to your videos. Still recall your analogy of drawers regarding the Caged system. Excellent stuff. You exude such passion. It's palpable. You never leave the learner 'hanging at the edge of a cliff' Profoundly grateful and also guilty of not making a most deserved donation. Donation imminent. Warm regards from Sunny South Africa

[@jorombton9833]

It's great to understand it in one shape. Would like to see more for other shapes and how you follow chord progressions with it while soloing.

[@bungalowbluesman]

Yes please for the series Brian 👍🏻

[@daviddray3027]

Hi Brian, I would love to see the other shapes in a mini series. I have seen many videos about the CAGED system; and although I understand it, this video really shows the flexibility of the system. Keep posting excellent videos.

[@johnboyle6594]

Yes!!! Please add the other shapes! "C" has been a mystery to me, Great Video! "G" is also somewhat mysterious. E,A,&D, are easier, but it would be great to reinforce and complete the package with your style and clarity of presentation.

[@MrNgcovelli]

Hey Brian. Amazing lesson. Ties together so many elements that we struggle to integrate in our solos. 23:04 Thank you. And yes pls do a few lessons on the other shapes!! 23:04

[@jep3305]

Thanks for this. Very good breakdown. Please repeat for A-G-E-D.

[@guitarman704]

Ha, ha, this stuff never ages.😁

[@Coopersx1]

Great lesson as always. I love those eye opening- break through- ah ha moment lessons of yours. This lesson was one of them for me in a few areas. I had to stop the tape several times to ponder those moments and put it in perspective (for me) so that I got a grasp on those enlightenments. The best for me was near the end of the video where you went from C shape E chord to E shape A chord at the 18:00 minute mark of the video. This could be used for a one- four- five blues progression (when soloing). I can now easily move/transition from the one chord to the four chord in my blues solos....I only need to learn the E shapes of the cage system.....Then I believe I will be able to better visualize what's happening and where to go within that small area of the neck (when going from the one chord to the four chord in a blues solo) :) Very helpful in tying together what I already know without having to relearn it from scratch! I would love to see more of the same.

[@richgray5762]

Congratulations. Winner of best Caged presentation. The most concise and compelling short lesson of why we should learn caged.

[@brianrollins7275]

Great lesson, thanks a lot. I like this list with the umbrella format. Very easy to follow along and can always pause or rewind if needed. These lessons are really helpful and valuable if you put in the time. Thanks again.

[@paulcordova4640]

Nice lesson. I really like this information. I’m the guy you have to explain everything to. Even the things that should be obvious. For instance I’m an intermediate level of understanding the basics of the CAGED system. And it’s fun playing cord progressions higher up the neck, but I know there is more that can be done using the CAGED system that I can’t see. The problem for me is I don’t know, what I don’t know. So I can’t ask question that would help me grow and understand. So it takes someone like you to bring up lessons like this lesson that opens my eyes and I can learn and grow.

[@dWindytree]

The exercise in this lesson is not only a wonderful sample of the Major, Dom7 and minor within the C shape- it is a beautiful solo and Im really enjoying playing it! Thank you, Brian, for sharing this series!! You make learning the CAGED system understandable and fun!!

[@andreuttenhoff8135]

Hi Brian, one of the most usefull lessons! Yes, pls. keep on going with the other 4 shapes!!!

[@toddanderson7942]

Really it’s essential that we know all 5 so please do. We also are going to need the navigation between the shapes. I very much hope you will follow up with that too. I am so grateful to have discovered your channel. I am a premium member and wish I could have known about you from the beginning of your channel some 10 years ago. You are the best. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@derickg1488]

Guthrie Trapp has a video on the the C shape. Brian, you outdid yourself again. I'm a premium and have been and I can't thank you enough for how you've helped me develop into the player I am today. Thank you us not enough

[@jfinke373]

Well done Sir. I vote for more on this. The E shape, and the G shape. , The A shape seems interesting. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you very many times! Your lessons are really my favorite.

[@bradreid6057]

Brian, glad you started with the C shape. What's interesting about the "Cowboy C chord" shape we all learn is it comprises part of a Cowboy D chord shape (on the G, B and E strings) welded to a Cowboy E chord shape (on the E, A and D strings). I guess I've said this correctly that its Cowboy form "straddles" two chord shapes. It seems this sharing of the two chord shapes really expands the number of scales one has access to. Looking forward to hearing/seeing more.

[@davidegral7152]

Superb lesson Brian. Please, please, please do the other four shapes 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@saxmmann]

Thank you so much , This is really a complete break through for me , it is the best I have ever come across thank you so much. Please if you can, make the complete CAGE for us all we will appreciate. Thank so, so, so much.

[@datrustee]

Awesome lesson, Brian. I'm a believer in less is best approach. One shape concentrated between three frets predominantly while connecting to other shapes is the beauty of it all. Thanks again for your ability to do all that.

[@oddshot60]

THIS is a VERY useful tool. PLEASE DO THE SERIES!! You might include it in your "Beginner needs to know" stuff. BTW if you include the ARPEGGIO, you have yet anther good tool in the box ... and you could call this "C Shape - TEN essential tools that live within the C Shape".

[@rogertruesdale664]

YES...please duplicate for the other 4 shapes. Very helpful. You are a very good "explainer".✌️

[@bobbrendel758]

Very helpful, and I agree with @guitarman12325. A mini series covering the other four shapes would be of great value. Thx!

[@brianpeart7267]

Hi Brian, Yes please, a CAGED mini series like this one would be really helpful, I'm sure, to a lot of people. So much helpful information, thank you.

[@Kenoodling]

Thank you Brian. I've known about the CAGED system for many years, but have to say, you break it down is such an easily digestible way that I'd love to see more of the same with the other shapes

[@TheDan1108]

Super! Go ahead with the other shapes🎸

[@paulburnside6312]

Thank You, Mind blown!!!! Please consider doing the other shapes, I really got a lot from this approach!!!

[@dontuttle]

Yes, mini series BUT please include arpeggios too!

[@CalvinLimSH-ld5le]

Thanks for sharing Caged movable chord system in C shape explained in 9 guitar playing modes - all in one fretboard position.

[@raymobbs732]

Genius!! Fantastic lesson.. Yes please For the other shapes Brian..

[@JCFromPA215]

Please give us more caged system lessons in other shapes

[@normanjohnson712]

This was very helpful Brian it explained a lot to me. This will definitely help me with my understanding and playing. Would like to see you do more like this.

[@DarrenPaul1971]

Brian! That was great- PLEEEASE do the other shapes!

[@stevem2594]

Awesome, going to have to sit down with the guitar and cement this into place. Thankyou.

[@Syphus_SGL]

That was an insightful lesson. I kinda knew everything you were talking about but had not connected it together - thanks

[@svenfjalberg4231]

Yes please for a series of the caged system, to be honest after you explain it I for the first time fully understand the caged system.🙏

[@blakeanderson7906]

Really cool lesson! Thank you!...and yes I would love to see the other shapes.

[@fresh02er]

Yes ! Would love the other 4 shapes, great lesson Thanks!

[@DavidJackson-q8p]

Very good lesson which brings together many chunks of information from 500+ lessons. Please do a lesson on all 5 CAGED chords. ALSO - would you add a PDF of the scale patterns which appeared in passing on this video.

[@mr.s5333]

I'm adding another vote for the rest of the CAGED shapes, this mini series would be so helpful Brian. If you feel it might be too much for some people, why not add composition study lessons in between the shapes series?

[@lgp4960]

I knew a few of those, a few I didn’t, so THANK YOU Brian. Your lessons are always well thought out and presented.

[@speedsquishstupid]

Excellent lesson. Guthrie Govan went over the importance of the CAGED system like 15ish years ago, but it never really clicked with me until your videos. This is just an even more useful "unpacking" of the power of CAGED and how it really opens everything up.

[@jergreen9050]

Great lesson! 100% would like to see a series with all the shapes covered

[@GrowinAlaska]

Yes Brian! This is the best lesson I have found on scales/caged. Please include the other shapes in future lessons..

[@robertq8412]

Very much enjoyed this!! Would love to see a series with all shapes. I'm sometimes a bit dense when it comes to imagining how all these fit together. 😵‍💫

[@Black1ce8]

Echo the other comments on a mini series for all 5. Always nice to remember that certain shapes match with the Pentatonic Shapes. This type of lesson is great for me to identify what I truly remember from past workshop lessons. I learned a fretable major 7th chord position, and put together that the natural minor scale matched the G major notes @13:35

[@activemelody]

Yes! I was about to mention that but didn't because I thought it would be too confusing and detract. But you're right, they're the same exact notes

[@Black1ce8]

@@activemelody It was a good test of my knowledge. You might consider a couple of short form videos where you quiz the subscribers to see if they can place the notes/chords/etc. I've gone through the Essentials Course on your website, which boosted my skills and knowledge considerably but I'd love to have a test every now and then! Thanks Brian!

[@activemelody]

@@Black1ce8 excellent idea on the quizzes!

[@jniggel]

Excellent lesson. Thank you. Yes, to lessons involving the other four shapes.

[@jeronimoarenas1010]

Hello Brian; this is good. Yes , I would like to see a mini series on the other shapes. Thanks

[@LMSlondon]

Great lesson! Lets make it a series. This is so helpful. You're clarity and skillful articulation is the best!

[@DavidScorpi]

Thanks very much for this. I’ll add my vote for the mini series too. Looking forward to it.

[@oldun18]

Hi Brian, great lesson thank you, so enlightening and please yes to the same in other keys.

[@michaeldorrenbacher8977]

This is THE BEST caged lesson. I searched for this (a connection between caged shapes and the different scales within than shape) for so long. PLEASE PLEASE PLEAS DO THIS VIDEO FOR ALL THE CAGED SHAPES!

[@davidmukalay3536]

I like your simplicity. You are good teacher and player. Keeps making such videos, and Yes, please, continue with the CAGED series. Thank you.

[@bigchrisgulley66]

Thank you for all this great information. I'm very thankful for this because it is helping me to tie all of the things I've learned over the years never had lessons learned by ear, my dad showed me the basic chords when I was very young and I took it from there now I'm older I realize there is so much more I really need to know so thank you again for sharing your knowledge.

[@ChristopherOrth]

For all the countless hours of video time other people have spent on attempting to describe CAGED, it usually boils down to little more than "they all connect". But this one video alone contains days of functional knowledge and tools to practice and chew on. Fantastic job on this, and thanks so much!

[@sferguson1130]

Your teaching, is so concise, digestible, and relatable. It really has changed how I see the fretboard 🙏 Thank you

[@flylippfantom8425]

CAGED and the pentatonic scales was one of the best things I have learned and certainly helped me to advance. I definitely now like the C shape since you showed me the licks. The G shape is the one I need to learn

[@Merkava56]

As a 3rd year member I'd vote to see you do the series.

[@kenhazlin5860]

Fabulous lesson! Thank you! Love to see amini series.

[@danpennock9113]

Thank you so much for this lesson. This has to be the lesson that helped put everything together for me. Thanks again!

[@LMSlondon]

This series is so essential. I can't thank you enough.

[@aardvark77]

Yes, please cover all the other shapes!

[@dangquesadilla]

Would definitely LOVE to see the other shapes!!!!

[@DarrenPaul1971]

If anyone hasn't seen Brian's CAGED videos (EP 273 and EP 374) they are helpful as well- a really detailed explanation on the basics of Caged

[@SoCalGuitar]

Please complete the series of all 5 chords! This is great

[@timpage4212]

Never boring Brian realy helps to connect the dots throws up different sounds that I hear in certain songs like thr Emaj 7th sounds. Thanku.

[@harddunbye6553]

Keep going. Even though I could likely figure the other four shapes out myself you do such a great job of it I'm happy to leave it up to you . Thanks, great lesson as always.

[@msivori67]

Without a doubt, this is the best masterclass I have ever seen!!!. You are my N°1 from now on!!!👏👏👏

[@richarddelavega6014]

I would love to see those other shapes as well, this would be an awesome series...

[@andyjales]

Brian, this lesson was the most incredible lesson in all KZbin!!!!!

[@briancampbell5243]

Much easier to see in context with the scales! Thank you!

[@moeb4348]

I'm for analyzing the other four shapes! Great job!

[@1974xaviers]

Excellent video Brian...Thanks...Great work... good knowledge 👍

[@theartofkEith]

Thanks for inviting me to your Man Cave! 👍🏼

[@PauloRicardo-fc4li]

your videos are the best educational material on CAGED available .

[@leeboot6460]

This is so helpful!! I am the perfect audience for this as I'm moving from just reading chords to trying to understand the theory and do it on a guitar. Wonderful. I would love to see the A,G,E, and D as well!

[@rickpilger2541]

Would love to see all five shapes. Would be cool to see a follow up of these implementing what we’ve learned in practical application to various chord progressions, in various styles. Might be fun.

[@scrollkidsylable6793]

Brian you are an anomaly... You truly are the best at teaching guitar concepts from 1st principles and foundations, grateful for your precious time and effort put into these gems thanks a gazillion

[@audioflight9161]

I've taken a break from guitar for about 6 months and getting back into it, taking my time again through CAGED using your lessons is a great way to find inspiration, your lessons are always on point!

[@EvanBNW]

Great lesson. Frankly I’ve always avoided this shape. I realize now I shouldn’t have.

[@gregsterc5294]

Thank you, Brian, for a great lesson! Yes, I look forward to seeing the other shapes!

[@jeffreyborthick3769]

Great 'Swiss Army Knife' analogy/package!! Doing the same thing with the other shapes is a fabulous idea. By doing that, the lights will come on that - the 5th string root note of the C shape is also The 5th string root of the A shape... Think of A as 'going north' and C is 'going south' off that 5th string root... (And the D shape is the 'southern' neighbor of the C shape) Again, great work!! I'm off to the printer cuz I love those PDFs!!

[@Douglas_I]

PLEASE DO THE OTHER SHAPES! This was EXTREMELY HELPFUL! Thanks so much!

[@markkempster7367]

This series has been lightbulb gold. I am pretty sorted with caged but your vids methodically going through all that are contained within them have been a game changer. Thank you so much :)

[@AKLZ01780]

Increadible lesson, thank you Brian. Best whises from Germany.

[@4000Wiggins]

I’m so glad i discovered your channel. I’ve played guitar for many years and am just so regretful that i never learned much theory. All i wanted to do when i was you was simply learn songs. I find all of this so fascinating and fun.
