    This is good. I did not understand caged really until I did a triad study and just realized, hey - if you have the 135 in any key, you’ve got the major/minor chord, and the guitar is set up in a way where you get basically three main ways and two alternate ways to do that but give you five hand positions for the same chord across the whole octave. Then I had to learn all the notes on the neck to figure out how to get the three notes. Then I realize what spread triads were. Then I realized you can overlay the pentatonic and the full major scale in the same hand positions. Then I had to practice this for like six months in every key. Then I asked myself why I put off doing this for like 35 years! It’s because I was scared, it was easier to just fling my fingers around and play intuitively, but I really like this now. Anywhere I end up I can kind of pick up a shape from there and I’m not lost.

    Life Pro Tip: If you want to “get it”, take the time to really memorize the notes on the fretboard, to the level of instinct. This all gets SO much easier, to see these note patterns, when you’re literally seeing (and thinking) “in notes”, rather than in string numbers and fret numbers.

      Yes, learn the notes and also intervals. It all goes together. Intervals are to me the foundation and learning the notes really sets you free in a lot of ways.

Since having watched your first video on the CAGED system about 5 months ago, I've been having so much fun with it, ever since. And when you add a video on how you apply the system, I learn something new to add to my playing. Thanks so much for your uploads! Suzi V.

    Thank you for these last 3 videos. The problem I had connecting the shapes was skipping the D shape. I just was going straight to the C shape from the E shape wondering why it didn’t flow. That D shape, as you explained in this video, is such a necessary piece to the puzzle connecting E shape to C shape. Explanation I needed 30 years later! Now I see where one of those flows into another shape. I see this now! Subscribed to your course. Thanks!

    This videos are fantastic. I love how GT shows the best way to approach "D Shape" and "G Shape" up the neck. I'm working on it all. One thing I'm have some trouble getting my head around is playing the changes. Hitting the common tones as the progression moves. Also, I'm working on developing a rock steady rhythm. I like to call it a musical pulse.

      If I understood GT correctly he is using his index capo finger on the root of the D string, middle finger on the low E string to get the major 3rd while deadening the A string, ring and pinky on strings G and B. What I took from it was that puts his hand position where the arpeggio and scale notes fall right under his fingers in the D shape allowing him to move to the lower register toward the E shape
      For a G major : middle finger 7th fret low E and kill the A string. Index finger 5th fret D string. Ring finger 7th fret G string. Pinky on 8th fret B string and deaden high E. Maybe I got wrong but that’s what I got from it. Dude is Brilliant
