The CAGED System (Fully Explained)

[@forresta65]

the dots are really helpful

[@kevinnickens]

Nice, thanks for the feedback

[@johngonzalez1029]

Hands down this is the best video I’ve ever seen on the topic. Love the dots! Thank you for doing all of that.

10:01 - Internal monologue: "crushed it"

[@kevinnickens]

100% accurate

[@nato_potato3505]

HE RETURNED ive been waiting patiently for a new video!

[@Danilyn_Livao]

You made a complex concept so simple to understand. Truly appreciate your teaching style, Kevin! 🙌

[@TravelingAnvil]

Great video. Cant wait to come back to this in 6 weeks when i finish this chord change. In all seriousness - i really appreciate the channel. Its so rare to get concise information delivered by a real human.

[@Juliodelucca]

This video is incredible. Thank you sir.

[@Cuzzazbuzz]

Thank god for that. Everyone talks about the positions and shapes without saying why those notes fit over the respective chords. Another ‘aha’ moment. Thank you for your time making this. Subbed.

[@arrolate]

The dots on the frets are a really cool addition, it helps a lot visually!

[@watchmemakestuff6529]

dudeee I missed you, started playing with your map of how to learn the guitar had a lot of fun. When I reached the section "this is where most get a teacher" I got a teacher and kinda lost the focus I had, nice seeing more videos from you. a lot of love

[@marLamaDeo]

KZbin is not recommend me this video, what a pain. Glad I found it, great as always

[@kevinnickens]

@@marLamaDeo thanks!

[@ricksaunders277]

The dots are very helpful.....thanks

[@mousemr2970]

i learn something new every time i watch your videos tysm

[@spinaldart5773]

Dots are great seeing all the shapes at once on the guitar helped me out quite a bit.

[@זיובןיהודה]

Leaening the pentatonic scale now and this just links everything, really helpful video

[@philbrook6855]

Great to see you again, Kevin! As always, you knocked it out of the park. This is easiest , best CAGED explanation I've seen to date as I've seen countless CAGED system vids which are word salads and hard to follow. Those dots and graphics are key for those who are visual learners, and for beginners. As a former video editor, I can honestly say your videos are well done. Please keep up the great work! And remember, consistenty is key for a growing channel. Peace.

[@charliepierson6442]

Dude, I'm a 56 year old learning guitar. This is best explanation of this I have seen. You just made me have a major break through with the idea of how the notes move up and down the neck.

[@AlmightyJoats]

Before this video, I thought the Caged system was the phenomenon that takes place when you go afk leaving your computer unlocked, which creates the perfect opportunity for a malicious third party to install the browser extension that replaces all images with the face of Nicholas Cage. Thanks for the clarification, Kevin!

[@kevinnickens]

No problem! It's a common issue!

[@dracoquintas9141]

Wake up babe, new Kevin video about the thing I was looking forward to learn just dropped

[@Jamzocd]

I just came across your channel and you’re providing some of the best explanations and guitar content on KZbin. 👏

[@daviddelarosa7271]

Yas keep the dots, big help and really makes the Contentmore digestible. Thank you for sharing the knowledge .

[@austinsichmeller9039]

Kevin Nickens is the man

[@keepody]

NO WAY PAPA KEVIN JUST UPLOAD

[@kevinnickens]

UPLOADING IS WHAT I LIVE FOR

[@joshfueled]

CAGED system along with your DOTS system is really easy to understand now. thanks a lot!

[@kevinnickens]

Haha yes!

[@McKenna.1230]

PAPA KEVIN IS BACK BABY!!

[@daviddrummer_777]

Nice, thanks for the video 🥳

[@sketch2471]

Thanks Kevin, would love a video on dyads and how to use them in your teaching style.

[@helgetrautmann9278]

Great Video👍

[@CalebLarbi-x8q]

Wow that's well noted 🎉🎉🎉

[@valtteriahonen7850]

Thanks for the great video. Would it be possible for you to include some practice tips or ideas for these concepts in the video? Also for other videos. It would be super nice to first watch this video and then grab the guitar and know exactly what I could practice.

[@Casey250]

More dots. We need more dots.

[@kanahmal]

I like the new space, it looks like the top room of a house I almost moved into in Portland. Heads up, not sure what you've done to anger Papa Goog, but I didn't see this video or the last one in my feed despite subscribing, and thumbs upping most of your videos.

[@kevinnickens]

Haha that’s exactly what the new space is. Interesting about you not seeing the video. Maybe I have angered Papa Goog. Thanks for the heads up

[@kanahmal]

@kevinnickens holy shit, does your new house have a Monkey Puzzle tree in the back?

[@DomingoCaro-h5v]

[@anbanb8787]

plz keep gping. you are very good

[@Lenard0369]

Hey Kev. Are you planning to make a video about power chords in the future? That would be nice

[@kenjikodai]

You guys still follow his playlist? Im starting and im about to follow it, i know he uploaded that 1 to 10 roadmap but I think that's more of a framework so I think I'll do the playlist and use that video as a checklist

[@bipinjungbasnet7799]

I didn't understand caged system at all but by this video I understand the 1st half but 2nd the last improvising I didn't understand 😢

[@cliftonjarvis8010]

5:15 We all have been in that situation,no that is why I am here today though 😮

[@flexsweat9068]

Alternate picking vid when 😢

[@guyg2005]

I am feeling CAGED. Just kidding. I love bar cords. I like TABs and fret board diagrams of your finger placements. I understand we are using their shapes but your fingers looked like they were in a different position when you played the CAGED G or C.

[@damienpenglin]

might be a stupid question. how did you know to use the a minor pentatonic to accompany the C & F strumming pattern? What if the song was C, AM, F then G. Do you have a video on rules to follow or advice on how to solo, using the scales we learnt to songs?

[@Hauptstufe]

If you are soloing in a minor scale, is it typical to lift the 6th and 7th to make it melodic, or does this only make chord matching more difficult when it comes to arpeggios?

[@Susantoo6]

ans how about CAGED system for minor chord? like cm, dm, etc

[@fly6uyrob854]

Correct me if I'm wrong but when playing in the C chord on the 5th fret did you mean to add the blue dot on A? If so could you kind of explain why? I figure it's because its in the scale of a minor but then that kind of confuses me if your trying to play in the chord of C. Great video btw! helped clear up a lot of questions I had.

[@juanmendez7378]

Ok but how do I know where o the feet board to make the shapes??

[@IchbinSeppi]

Hey I have the same Sony headphones
