I think there is a small error in the diagram at 33:05. If it's E major, shouldn't the G string be fretted at the first fret instead of being open? Otherwise the shape of E major would not be shifted unchanged towards the high E string, as shown in the next diagram.

bro i owe my life to you

Support the source and buy the book

you must enjoy teaching and i respect teachers however i am a creator in all aspects of life including song writing for which i chose the guitar to compliment my life style. I only play the guitar to compliment my songs

Thank you

Thank you

Men of culture we meet again!

Everytime I watch this I realize how important this is. Thank you for your videos!

Please do a funk video for us

I happened across your RUclips site for the first time this morning. I’ve got to tell you that you teach in a way that makes it so much easier for me to understand the caged system, triads, and bar chords. I am looking forward to spending a lot of time studying this lesson. Please don’t change anything in the way you present your lessons!

So in your additional note a b2 is a minor second, a bb2 is a diminished 2nd, and a b5 is a diminished 5th - I just want to ask you to confirm please as my head is bubbling away and I don’t get the logic tbh. 😢

Really amazing , fully watched and will re watch 🙏

Really amazing , fully watched and will re watch 🙏

Thank you.

Love what you do brother!! Don't change a thing Some people always trying to get in the way trying to ruin something good happening If you people ou there don't want to watch these long videos, then go somewhere else. I love these videos!

Why people complaining about long videos? The longer the guitar lesson ,the better in my opinion

You're one of the most reliable guitar teachers here in RUclips.

I really appreciate you sharing all this. It's over my head in most places until you play the notes and the ear can hear what you're explaining logically but I see why there are no quick tricks and why guitar is a lifetime pursuit. I also like that instead of trying to bait and lie youre teaching foundations and context. Again, much appreciate all the knowledge you're imparting on us.

Thanks brother from Warren in England. 😎

Just ordered the book,should be here in2days ❤

The only way to truly learn something is via this long format, so we can try it ourself and spend some time actually experimenting. Knowing something and KNOWING something is completly different.. if you for example try to play the arpeggios of 2 chords in the same place by switching the caged shapes, you will have a hard time doing that quickly unless you spend some time avtually leqrning the shapes and not just knowing the shapes just sort of, and understanding the concept, but not having it be second nature. Long form helps to learn this lesson!

Thanks for taking the time to explain I have heard people talking about these subjects but they dont take the time to explain in depth as you have so I thank you sir, and appreciate the length of your posts.👌

Merci énormément pour cette vidéo. J'en ai vu de nombreuses sur le système CAGED mais pas ou peu d'approche pratique. Les nombreuses autres vidéos le vendent comme un moyen magique d'apprendre tous les accord alors qu'il n'y a rien de magique, il faut travailler et j'apprécie le fait que tu le mentionnes bien ! Bravo !

thankful for the long videos

I just bought both of your books! Your long videos that break everything down sold me 100%. My goal is to memorize the fretboard completely. Learning to speak Guitar, I'm excited at the age of 60. Many years not playing after 4 carpal tunnel surgeries. I can relate to this guy and your teaching. The education is what I'm looking for connecting years of knolage but no road map.

Can I just say that you're the best guitar teacher I've ever encountered. ❤🙏

I kept having troubles with my thumb placement when really taking the time to correct it while watching Justin Guitar videos 2-3 years ago after years of not even thinking much about it. I used to have the bad habit of hooking my thumb. Well, when I kept trying to put my thumb in the "right position" according to Justin, and the same as you're suggesting, I realized part of my problem. I have a hitchhiker's thumb, and it just doesn't allow the same positioning of the thumb unless you force it, and it doesn't work out well. When I "relax" it seems to point more towards the headstock. Straight up and down behind the second finger results in a cramped thumb muscle, and, the joint of the thumb is mainly against the neck, not the thumb pad. I Googled some, and apparently it is a thing for people who have hitchhiker's thumb and play guitar, but I make do. I love singing, songwriting, and guitar playing too much to not find a relaxed way to still play, even with my thumb needing to adjust.🙂👍 (Yes, "thumbs" up icon on purpose, lol! 😂) But, if I'm wrong, you've taught enough people and may have come across this previously, let me know. I'm humble enough to try whatever tips/advice you would have for someone with thumbs like me. 🙂

I have been looking for a lesson that could explain the shapes and linkage to the pentatonic scales. Thank you for providing this excellent lesson.

Thanks brother from Warren. 😎

Frickin awesome! - like with the camels and everything - context. You are a superb teacher. The analogy with colours on a painter's palette etc. What an excellent way to help understand intervals etc - truly inspiring!

Great insights and practical information!

Best guitar teacher in the world. Period.

Not to be greedy/whiney, but the documents link for this video brings me to a 404 error found on your website. I've GREATLY benefited from your other documents (THANK YOU, btw!), and I would like to get these too, please. :) Thank you, Will! ^_^

Exactly what I've been looking for - thank you. You've captured what is needed to learn, understand and use the caged system, major and minor. Great lesson!!

Lol, I’m one of those musicians that does “the weird foot thing”! 😂 That foots got a mind of it’s own.

I love your detail.i would like to see a video on how to change the key of a complete song,notes and chords and solos and all,and how to play it in all keys thanks.also how much will your program cost and when will it go live.

Thank you, Will, not just for the "What IS the CAGED System" that many others have taught, but for all of the in-depth reasoning and practicality, along with the helpful exercises to practice that can help solidify that knowledge into our hands and fingertips! ^_^ THANK YOU! ^_^

After watching almost 80 different guitar lessons on RUclips over the last weeks on various topics that I wanted to learn about, you were EASILY one of the TOP teachers on RUclips! :) I really love your laid-back style and fully-informative without-being-tedious videos. I had only seen your video about triads, but due to liking it so much, I decided to watch your entire Fretboard Navigation and Theory Lessons playlist. I knew this information, overall, but I like to take the humble approach you talked about in this video, and make sure I fill any gaps in my theory/guitar knowledge. I don't usually subscribe to anyone because I don't want a bunch of notifications, nor do I care about new videos from a particular person as I search for certain topics when I want to watch an informative video, but, I'm subscribing to you, Will! Great content and delivery! :) I'm looking forward to watching your other videos and putting into practice what you teach. I already did, today, by harmonizing the C Major scale in all 5 C.A.G.E.D. shapes. Previously, I have a single chord in the 5 shapes, then moved to the next chord, and I've also played one shape, moving it up the fretboard for every chord I can reach with that shape. Recently, I started to play little chord progressions with triads in the C Major scale to contextualize them while learning their shapes, but to actually play the harmonization for all 5 C.A.G.E.D. shapes was quite helpful, thank you! :) I'll do this harmonization process with triads, also, along with then playing some different progressions, as well, to practice them in a song context and going back and forth between them. :) Thank you, Will! :)

Subscribed. Best teacher I’ve found on RUclips. Format is great. The overquick explanations on other channels aren’t as helpful. Had a “lightbulb” moment watching the pentatonic video earlier today. Back for more.

You are right on the money with the short attention spans of people today. They want everything fast and easy and then wonder why they never accomplish anything.

I like your style of teaching , so amazing 😅 thanks a lot teacher . God bless

It takes this guy until 6:16 to get past his marketing. Totally lost interest by then.

Out of a lot of good online guitar tutors you are THE best! but I have to besmirch... 'tuned' (as in 'the way the guitar is tuned') is pronounced 'chooned' not 'tooned' and the same is true of the big tasty fish - CHOONAH, not TOONAH... just having a giggle with you Will. Amazing guitar teaching - thanks to you this is now the most enjoyable and fathomable part of my 30 year guitar journey!

Thank you sensei 🙏🏻

I've been meaning to get into funk for awhile, do you have any band recommendations I could get some inspo from?
