[@paulhessler4474]

Wow, that's actually easy to understand. Thank you!

[@villaxmas]

In all my years learning to play guitar I can confidently state that Den is easily the best guitar tutor out there. Simplification, clarification. precision & no ego trips. There is nothing more maddening when you're using tutorials online than coming across those regular tutors who wants to show off & demonstrate just how great they are on guitar & how they became so proficient by confusing you with all their complex references & mind blowing, over complicated approach to scales, minor, major, pentatonic, Aeolian, mixolydian etc etc as opposed to breaking things down in to their basic form so that you can easily understand & follow them & ultimately learn, grow & become a much better guitarist . Den is simply the best teacher out there & I highly recommend his tutorials on all aspects of guitar playing to any budding guitarists. This lesson here, that explains the CAGED system in its simplest format is testament to that. Keep up the good work Den. You're a top man.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

This means so much to me. You can't even imagine ❤️THANK YOU❤️

[@NowOffTheClock]

TY villaxmas for Finding All the right Words to say (and cleanly) to say All the Things I wanted to say. I Absolutely concur!

[@ronmounts8075]

Well Said Buddy!!!! Wellllllllll Said!!!!

[@jamie9680]

100% agree. I played for 45 years and still learned something.

[@maddienreeree]

Damnit man... You STOLE my thunder... er... I mean... You took the words RIGHT outta my mouth 😂

[@tombegg5648]

First CAGED book/lesson that hasn’t had my brain in meltdown. Thanks

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Yeiiiii! So happy to hear this clicked, Tom❤️

[@Eeelad1]

I can honestly say this is THE best explanation of CAGED that I’ve come across thank you.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Thank you so much! So happy you liked it🤗

[@miket7815]

My GOD ITS TRUE

[@garywalters4359]

I'm 71 and have been trying to play for a little over 2 years. This was the BEST, most understandable explanation I have ever experienced. Thanks Den!!!

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

I'm so happy this has helped you, Gary! Thank you for watching and for your beautiful comment.

[@tonymorrow957]

Excellent understandable explanation

[@BlueRidgeRider]

Shapes! Finally an explanation that fits what my brain has done all along. Now I have to master the index finger barre. Thank you!

[@azad562]

If there was a Novel Prize for explaining the CAGED system in the most simple and best way, this guys would have won the Nobel Prize!!! I can read sheet music and play classical fluently but somehow CAGED system always eluded me, this is the only video on the planet when it’s explained in the best, systematic and logical way that actually makes sense 🙏

[@dualquadable]

Straight to the point no beating around the bush. Most other tutor make SIMPLE THING complicated. Open chords are simply barred by the nuts except B and F have to be barred by fingers but are hostages of the CAGED. I have to subscribe you, my humble tutor.

[@wblockyer]

I still don’t get B and F not having shapes!!!

[@dreigstad4144]

I've tried to understand CAGED for over a year wolith no luck. In about 15 minutes, you made it clear as a bell. Thank you very much. Great teacher

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

I'm so happy to hear this!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write your comment. It means a lot.

[@brucebreiner6943]

Been playing since 6th grade. I'm 53. Clearest most concise explanations I've seen. Excellent, simple explanations.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

I appreciate this, Bruce❤️ Thank you! 🙏

[@robertstabley8323]

Hands down, the simplest explanation of "CAGED" I have ever seen. Great job!

[@execjet1]

We must have been watching at the same time. I have played off and on for 7 years. Every time I tried to learn the caged system my mind would either get cluttered with a bunch of mumbo jumbo, then I would get bored (not learning, anything wasting time) and quit the video. Thanks for the excellent video. I have got it now and will never forget it.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Fantastic! Thank you so much for both your comments! They mean a lot❤️

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Thank you!!! ❤️

[@pauldrew4338]

I never realised that CAGED gave the order of the shapes needed as you move your chosen chord up the neck. Thanks for the lesson

[@JustGoodFriendsTalking-kr4il]

That was new for me too. So important to know!!

[@mistermig100]

For almost four years I have been trying to understand CAGED. Now I understand it. Thank you

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

YES!!!! Let's go!

[@kevinmccormick6434]

Very clear.....shockingly easy to understand when this is explained on a simple drawing board instead of just stating the theory......GREAT TUTOR!

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

I'm so happy you found this helpful, Kevin! thank you for taking the time to drop a comment. It means a lot.

[@shobhanmakhecha8360]

An absolutely brilliant lesson, you are an angel. I am 79. 😢. You just got me out of the CAGED. I was locked in. Now i understand what was that all about. Thanks a lot man.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Let's go!!!! This is awesome. ❤️

[@phredde533]

This is by far the best explanation of CAGED I have ever saw and I have watched a few. I have absolutely zero questions and I am confident I have fully comprehended how to play chords using CAGED. Great lesson!

[@professorpsoop]

You're pretty much what I've been looking for my whole life. So tired of teachers who bombard you with terminology, often redundant, terminology, and showing off and acting as if they were speaking to their peers instead of those who actually know less. Well done.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Thank you. This means a lot❤️

[@geomann1009]

My goodness! FINALLY, someone actually can provide a simplified explanation of the caged system! At least one that I can understand it. Thank you Sir!!!!!

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Let's go! Happy it finally clicked!

[@bernicekemp953]

Without a doubt the best explanation of the "CAGED" chord system I have ever seen. Thank you very much!!!!

I appreciate that! Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment❤️

[@brandeno326]

I’ve watched hours of caged videos trying to make it make sense and 9 minutes into yours has done more than all the others combined. Definitely following for more! Thank you

[@georgewmartinez-song]

This is excellent. I had already given up on the CAGED system, BUT YOU GAVE ME HOPE! I'll have to go over it a few more times but it will be worth my time. Bravo!

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

So happy this video helped you, George!

[@KevinORourke25]

This is THE BEST, most understandable explanation of the caged system I have ever encountered. Been playing for 50 years so I understood the caged system, but when I first started, I pulled my hair out trying to understand how to use the caged system. This is tremendously helpful to guitar players of all levels. Thank You for this.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

I really appreciate you saying this, Kevin! Happened to me too. Took me too long to understand.

[@davidalder6558]

Thank you very much for that simple and elegant presentation of the CAGED system. I have been trying to understand it for 4 years, but no luck until tonight. Excellent work Den. Keep up the fantastic lessons. Dave from Nova Scotia, Canada

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Yes! So happy to hear this, Dave💪 I appreciate you taking the time to write a comment. It means a lot❤️

[@Rbbuckler]

By far the clearest explanation of what the Caged systems and how it works. Thank you.

🤩 Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

[@rolandomarucut7083]

Holy moly, this is the best illustration about CAGED because of its simplicity. Cheers

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

So happy you liked it, Rolando!

[@LeLilley1]

You, my friend, are an EXCELLENT teacher! You dumb things down so that someone like me can finally really understand! That is a real gift!! Thank you!

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Wohooo! Thank you so much! So happy this is making sense now🎉

[@aslamahmed2564]

The best CAGED lesson ever has been shown by tutor Den. Amazingly clear form with very simple explanation. I recommend everyone to watch this video if you are having a problem with CAGED forms or shapes!

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Thank you😍

[@markdavis5970]

I'm never around anyone and I've used KZbin to teach myself how to play guitar and one of my questions has been how do I play different chords all across the fret board. This has helped me more than any other video I've found. Thank you for making It simple. Most people that teach just like to show how good they are and that leaves me thinking I can't do It but you showed me I can.. Thanks a million.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

I'm so happy this video helped you so much, Mark❤️ Thank you for your comment. It means a lot.

[@TAPERBOYS]

I've been trying hard to understand the CAGED SYSTEM for a while and hadn't really got a good grasp of it UNTIL NOW. YOU EXPLAINED it where It finally clicked. THANKS A MILLION!

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

LET'S GO!!! This is fantastic news! So happy this video helped you❤️

[@andychilds9167]

mind blown! that was the best explanation of cage!! I fully understand it after something like 15 years of trying to figure it out then walking away from it thank you so so much great instruction

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Hurray!!! So happy to hear this, Andy!!! Thank you so much for your comment. It means a lot to know that this video helped you🤗

[@christopherprim1973]

I never learned via CAGED, and I don't like how a lot of people teach music theory, either. I just learned a ton of chords and songs, and got into chord voicings that are reduced parts of the good old 5 'cowboy chord' shapes around the fretboard. But I have a geometrically oriented mind: I recognize forms and shapes in different contexts. As for music theory, what finally set me on bigger paths was realizing: you need lab courses to go along with your lecture courses. We need to apply the academic learning as soon as possible. Good luck with the channel. People seem to like it.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

👍

[@sallywasagoodolgal]

It took me 60% of this lesson to figure out these (the caged system) are what was called 'movable chords' back 40 years ago. I do this all the time, but I never heard this term till recently, so I came to see what all the confusion was about. Thank goodness for this teacher. It was very understandable.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Thank you!! I really appreciate your comment❤️

[@SeaDrive300]

I already knew most of what you explained about CAGED, but I had thought that the arrangement of the letters was just because it spelled something you could pronounce and remember; I had no idea that the sequence of the letters was meaningful. Thanks for that! 🙂

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

I love it! So happy that part clicked!

[@JustGoodFriendsTalking-kr4il]

That was new information for me too!!

[@palmeraz73]

OMG I have struggled to understand the CAGED method for a year and now learned it in 14 minutes. Thank you

[@jerricurtsinger5912]

Thank you Den!! Adds so much clarity to The Beginner Guitar Playbook you wrote. I've never been able to listen to other videos for more than five minutes with out being completely lost.. This was clear as a bell and will aid in my progress.

[@Dodgyguitarist]

Probably the best explanation I’ve seen. Still leaves me with a feed Qs…. 1. When or why would you play chords like that? They seem a nightmare to finger 2. How would you get quicker at finding those chords on the fretboards? I guess you need to know your fretboard notes first right? Superb vid though, thank you 😊

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Thank you for your questions! 1. You can break up those shapes into smaller chinks that are easier to fret 2. I use the intervals (notes that create each chord) to know where those shapes are. I'll record a video on that too👍

[@Dodgyguitarist]

@@LearningGuitarSecrets Awesome, thank you

[@Knightsavant]

I was always mystified about CAGED, despite having read the theory. Your lesson made the light bulb moment. Thank you!

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

AWESOME! So happy to hear this!

[@CassidyMitchell]

ohh now the barre chord makes more sense! and the video isn't even over!! You make things simple to follow thanks!

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

So happy for you!!! Let me know what you think of it once it's over😊

[@tomdaoust]

My favorite class in high school was music theory. It helped me understand how music is constructed. That know-how has guided me for the last 56 years to an incredibly rich understanding and enjoyment of all kinds of music. Now at age 72 I am learning finger style guitar picking and that solid base in music theory is guiding my finger style technique. Your explanation of CAGED is superb, simple, and your demo was clear and concise. It opens doors to playing better guitar. Thanks so much for creating this video. I'm a fan.

[@marinerv6]

Outstanding explanation of the caged system,simple explanation for this student of the guitar to understand.Cut through the smoke and mirrors associated with sometimes confusing presentations of the past one has indured.

[@GreenEarth140]

GREAT , GREAT EXPLANATION of this system. This is the very 1st time I watched any video concerning the CAGED SYSTEM. I remember the material easily because YOU did such a wonderful job explaining it. You are indeed a gifted communicator of material and you obviously made certain that you knew this material thoroughly. Well done.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

I really appreciate you taking the time to write this❤️ It means a lot to me🤗

[@GreenEarth140]

@@LearningGuitarSecrets Thank you for acknowledging my reply. I simply stated the truth.

[@Stefaon]

Thanks, it's very clear now, and your explanation is great. But I still don't understand what this system is intended for. It's just for remembering position of chords ?

[@usernamemykel]

My question also - what is the PURPOSE of all this????

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

I think the word "system" is what causes so many problems. It is not a system. It's just how the fretboard is layed out. You can play any chord using different shapes all across the fretboard. Every shape in different positions is going to sound a little different. This is very useful if you're playing with someone else so you don't sound exactly the same. It's also helpful to visualize you triads, scale shapes, intervals...(more advanced)👍

[@aslamahmed2564]

Once again no one every explained the CAGED Shapes so clearly as you did. It clarifies to me how CAGED System funtions. Above all you showed so nicely how the chords look like. I admit that I have moved one step ahead with your lesson. Your are truely a good teacher.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Thank you!! I'm so happy this lesson has helped you😃 Keep rockin!

[@JimmyGlickster]

I was able to understand the CAGED system by watching many videos and it took time. Your video was able pull off the essence of it in 17 minutes. Very well communicated. Thanks. Had I seen this video as the first video, I would have saved a lot of time.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Thank you so much, Jimmy! I really appreciate your comment🤗

[@usernamemykel]

And it's PURPOSE is WHAT?????????????????????

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Good question. You can play chord progression with different voicings across the fretboard. This also lets you find any chord you're looking for. For example, if you're looking for a C#, you can move any of those shapes to find it. There are many other things not mentioned in the video, like finding triads, scale shapes, and more. This is just an introduction to the concept👍

[@julianmorrisco]

From a technical PoV, it’s a great way to learn the fretboard. It kinda falls into your lap after a while, without deliberately memorising scales or separated notes. But once you start writing, or even just playing covers, the same chord notes have a very different feel based on where they are played. And by using versions of chords that share notes between the previous and next chord, the fluidity of playing can move to a new level. Ultimately it’s a freedom that can take you away from the same old chord shapes and the feel of chords in their, let’s say, definitive, basic first position state. Or even the basic E and A form barré chords. One thing it took me ages to get my head around is scales and harmonies (chords) are contingent. What sounds good, is good. Most people reach a stage where the ‘rules’ are fairly well known and then they plateau. Just the fact of looking at something from a different angle gives insight and makes connections visible that may have been hidden and it’s recently given me the confidence to strike out into the unknown. Still simple, as that’s the music I like but with occasional deceptively complex twists and harmonic garnishes. I’d been playing for 30 years, mostly self taught, more than good enough to do what I wanted to do with middling success first as a one-hit wonder band member and then engineer and producer back when record company studios were a thing. But more recently I’ve been playing for myself and looking at what beginners are now taught (it’s very different) and the whole CAGED thing and especially triads, have opened up my songwriting. I was using these ideas without knowing what they were but once I was shown that they can be a paradigm, a way of looking at the fretboard, new ideas came tumbling out. It would have taken me ages to stumble on a progression, arpeggio shape or scale at one time but in the last year this has streamlined everything.

[@TioSalsaTV]

25 years indo guitar and I like listening to basics to check how people approch teaching. This is very very good and spot on. Congrats

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Thank you so much!! I appreciate your feedback😃

[@simondavies6270]

This is as perfect as most an explanations of the CAGED system that is great for beginning students to the guitar. I say well done for taking the time to distil the information in this way. Over the years I have read books and watched other videos on KZbin and have felt some explanations were either slightly complicated or not simplistic enough to fully grasp in one viewing. This video profoundly solves all of that making it ever so clear.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Wow, your comment made my day, Simon! Thank you so much! 🙏

[@mr.e.1512]

Omg! I’m new to learning guitar and have genuinely felt overwhelmed looking at chords. I have a trainer that brings me through the multiple ways to play each and I thought, “How the heck am I supposed to memorize all of this randomness?” This one video just made the progression make total sense. Memorizing this concept will be MUCH easier than what I thought I was going to have to do.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

So glad to hear this!!! It took me years to understand it and apply it. Happy to know it's going to shorten your journey😍

[@markwillride]

I just saved this to my beginner guitar playlist. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this and your other tutorials.

[@Cents111]

I knew this about caged system but enjoyed watching you teach this clearly and it helped a lot of fellow guitarists. Next is to show the pentatonic scale patterns that go with each shape. Good stuff! Subbed.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Yes! You are exactly right💪 Once you can associate each scale pattern to a chord shape you're absolutely rockin'!!

I have to agree with all of the comments. I’ve been playing guitar a very long time and learned CAGED the hard way, which demonstrates what we already intuitively know: a good teacher makes all the difference. Hence if you can’t seem to understand something within a reasonable amount of time don’t conclude that you are slow… find another teacher! Well done Den.

[@LearningGuitarSecrets]

Very helpful info, thank you. One thing that you may want to consider, is that there is an open F shape. First finger on E and B strings first fret; second finger G string second fret; and third finger D string third fret.

Thank you! I think there are no open strings there, right? Doesn't that come from the E shape? Just playing fewer strings?
