@@robertbrawley5048 you might also find it beneficial to think in terms of "intervals" too. This is an alternative to thinking in terms of "shapes" or even "note names". I have several lessons about this, including my most recent one: www.zombieguitar.com/a-new-way-to-look-at-the-pentatonic-scale-intervals-instead-of-patterns/
The first "light bulb" moment occurred a few moments into the video, then another, then another ..... by the end of the tutorial, my computer was lit up like a Christmas tree. All Brian's lessons are superb, but this one was absolutely awesome ..... we Zombies are so lucky, we've definitely the best guitar teacher, regarding both practical and theory ability, on You Tube!!!
The single best CAGED lesson ever. New to the channel and in the 5 videos I have watched, Brian has taught me; music theory, CAGED, how to play the piano, subdivisions, and how to create a track from scratch in a DAW. This guy deserves 10MM+ subs easily. His ability to communicate effectively makes him a tremendous teacher. Understanding the guitar has never been easier for me now.
The results of years of Brian’s painstakingly creating quality, well crafted and to the root of each lesson quickly and clearly articulated have spawned better musicianship in the world and his humble style is creating a thirst for learning theory and retaining it that I have never experienced before from any music teacher. Thanks for sharing your education and practical guitar lessons with all of us Lifetime Zombie Members !!!
Brian, bad ass lesson dude, I'm self taught and I am Bad ass at theory not so much playin, but this video like the rest of your videos unlocked so much more..Thanks...dont ever stop
you can clearly see how much time and effort brian puts into his video's, they are always really well constructed. you have helped my guitar playing extend so much and deserve wayyy more recognition. just thank you mann
Brian Kelly! “YOU ARE THE F - ING MAN”! I am thank GOD that I found you! Been watching you while tread milling it early mornings! Finally had a couple of hours to try your teachings, I am so excited!
You, you my man, are FREAKIN awesome! I've seen a lot of well done 'CAGED" videos from others, but you just hit a grand slam with this one. This is the most complete, informative and easy to understand 'CAGED' lesson from start to finish I've seen to date. Maybe it's simply that I assimilate well with your teaching style. Nearly all of your lessons, after I've seen them a few times to let them fully digest, really seem to sink in and give me a lot of those "Aha, I get it" moments. Bravo my man, bravo!
This is the clearest explanation of the CAGED system I’ve seen and I’ve been a guitar player off and on for more than 50 years! I wish this had been explained to me when I took my multiple lessons! Better late than never!
I don't know how to praise this guy! He unlocked the whole mystery of guitar in one lesson for those who just have the preliminary idea about guitar playing. May God bless this guy!
so, first. i am 50. i played guitar in my teens (the 80's) , and really did not do anything but just learn a few things, songs, scales, chords etc. and odd things here and there. I took some lessons for a few months back then and then I picked up a guitar again about 3 or 4 months ago. I have been watching a ton of videos to learn again and I have watched a few videos of CAGED theory videos but this, this is insightful. I get it, I do not think I did before, but now I do. really helpful, i just wanted to say, thank you.
Brian this is the best description of CAGED anywhere on RUclips. I finally understood what it was all about a year ago or so, but it took me watching like 10 shorter videos, and reading websites on the subject to put it all together after the confusion. If someone has the attention span to watch this whole video you put together, they'll get it for sure. I'm going to recommend your video anytime I hear someone confused about CAGED. Your teaching style is great man, I wish I could find a local teacher like you. I'd gladly pay for weekly lessons.
This is insane. You are a god for explaining and showing this the way you have! Thank you thank you. This put all the pieces together. I know this is just text in a bunch of other comments but I've been trying to find someone to go above and beyond explaining not only CAGE but applicable CAGE theory. You have been the closest so far. thank you.
Hey glad you found the vid helpful! Check out some of my other more recent CAGED vids too..I get into a lot of the practical applications with it. Thanks for checking out the vid 😀
I think your approach is so humble and not super RUclipsy, which is why you don't have millions of views...yet. Your knowledge is extremely impressive and really makes me want to sit down and force myself to understand what I've been missing for 20 years. I did the whole tab and by-ear thing when I was young because I wanted to play Metallica songs. Years later I realize that understanding more of what makes those songs what they are and maybe a little of what the writing process was like is so much more important than playing the same shit over and over again. I hope your channel continues to do well and you get the recognition you deserve. People should really pay for this type of knowledge.
Haha I was actually wondering how I could make my vids more "RUclipsy"...video editing is not my specialty though. Thanks for the words though. I really appreciate you following along!
I like and am very inspired by over a dozen excellent RUclips platformed guitar lessons, but after I stumbled on one of your videos focused on knowing a songs key with the Circle of 5ths applied to demonstrating how to quickly learn a song by ear..........organizing a quick and logical method utilizing the options in Key/Circle of 5ths ..........this changed how I look at everything! It was the most amazing eureka moment that turned my limited music mind on to finally organize where I am plus options. I was blown away and felt very stupid (this was my favorite "Derrrrr" dumb eureka moment!) that I wasn't quick enough to recognize this years ago........oh well, haaaaa!!!! Brian! You are significantly superior to other excellent guitar instructors, period period period!!! Keep knocking it out of the park brother!!! I will be joining and getting your guitar lesson training materials soon here after I get through Christmas/New Years then I'll start a notebook(s) to solidify your lessons into my old knucklehead.....haaa!! Keep up your great and amazing teaching style brother! I'm a fan! Vr, Shane C. Dayton OH
Thank you! I'm ashamed to finally understand this after 13 years of playing gutar. Most people leave a lot of information out of their caged lessons. This truly is the most comprehensive caged lesson I've seen in my life. I can't thank you enough for this free knowledge.
You sir, are a brilliant teacher. I've been working with CAGED for about a month and 5 minutes in to your video I had a better understanding. Thanks again!
This is one of those videos you need to watch over and over a few times ... so many light build moments to take in all at once. Another fantastic explanation of a subject that is so important and yet so lightly touched on by too many others.
I’m learning electric guitar as a quarantine project. I’ve never played before and I understand the majority of what you are teaching. You are a very good teacher. Thank you for making my learning experience a fun one.
you have literally changed everything for me, i have searched endlessly for an explanation of the CAGED and there is only this video thats made me understand it, a massive weight has been lifted for my guitar playing, thank you so much mate!!!!
With all the effort and graphic used for this fantastic and claryfing lesson on such a subject,this little lapsus you said is nothing! I know why your channel name is zombies guitar. You teaching is out of this world!A big thank you! You are my guitar's gold mine.
I've seen several lessons on the CAGED system and even had someone trying to explain it to me face to face, but this is the first time I have understood it. Great video, thank you
It's 2022 and this is BY FAR the most practical/insightful approach to understanding the CAGED system (both what it is, and what it is not)..... thanks .......
Best Caged explanation that I've found. This is the best video to truly understand the Caged system. I only wish that you were local to me and I could take in-person lessons! Not sure why it took me so long to find your lessons on RUclips (been playing a little over a year now). Subscribe to this man now. His lessons way more visibility! Thanks Brian!
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. You have the best guitar tutorials on RUclips by far! You have made more things finally click for me then any other resource I've ever found. THANK YOU!
Excellent, have been learning guitar for a year and have struggled with CAGED for months, finally pennies are dropping and I'm getting it, first time I realized that E &G are off the 6 string and A & C are off the 5th, could have saved all that frustration if I'd just watched this to begin with, thanks Brian
Brian....this is the very best explanation of the caged system I have ever seen....thanks so much...I have looked at so many videos and blogs on the caged system...your explanation is so clear and makes great practical sense. I will be returning to your site many times.....
Brian just to say thanks for all your brilliant lessons. For some reason your perspective always makes sense to me. Not that I am saying I have it in my head and hands completely just yet but at least I can understand it and I never thought I would. Have a great Xmas you and yours. Cheers again
Thanks man you are right you have the best explanation of the caged on all youtube. The simple gesture of you using a capo made me undestand everything..
I took notes like I never took them before today. And I am going to be busy for while tyring to apply what I just learned today. I dont know if you still look at these comments but thank you sir for your hards work.
Yup I read all the comments... assuming RUclips shows them to me! Glad to hear that these vids are helpful for ya. I appreciate you checking out the channel 😃
Great lesson. I especially benefit from your pop-up fret board tabs. That's what I'm used to following in a self taught environment. Following a live guitar teacher's fingers, my brain has difficulty inverting fingers on the fretboard. So thanks for the technical wizardry.
Solos come from you inner ear....sing what you play and what your hear in your head and heart...and you will be cool. CAGED System is just the GPS..It wont tell you where to eat ..what Restaurant to pick...it will only show you where stuff is.It is up to you to develop your musicality
I'am from🇹🇿 Tanzania. This is the best teacher ever on You tube, i was about giving up, suddenly you gave me power to continue learning. Thank you Sir..!
I finally get it lol. Idk why people only make videos on small bits thinking its a shortcut. You can't learn shortcuts in the beginning. Great video anyone who's trying to learn this system needs to see it.
I realized a long time ago that the average musician has to practice in a focused manner to get to the next level... This video and others can help but sometimes one just has to memorize various aspects of music to get to the next level... I think Clapton, Van Halen, etc. don't need this but if you're not one of them, maby you do. Shapes or patterns kinda help me do what I want to do. Thanks for the help.
Brians explanation of the Caged System is the best I have watched. I watched it twice and definitely feel that I understand how it works. Thank You............
Thanks dude, I'm a pro guitar player, but just started learning theory about a year ago; I've been getting everything and now that I decided to see what this CAGED thing is, it took, me weeks of watching videos, and like you say, there isn't anyone who explains it in a way that puts all the pieces together, I'm half way through your video; and I finally got it, thanks a lot buddy, rock on !
Fantastic Brian! You have truly FULLY explained the CAGED System. You have tied in so many components in one lesson, if anyone wanted to know about the system in 45 mins., this would be it!
Holy shit. By simply letting us know that shape 1(C) & 2(A) are on the 5th string and 3(G) & 4(E) are on the 6th string and shape 5(D) is on the 4th string just opened the fretboard to me. Brian, thank you 🙏🏼
That was one of the most amazing lessons I have ever seen. Literally years of knowledge explained in such a cool way it completely opened things up for me. I never thought I could ever understand this stuff but thanks to you I am actually seeing it.
Honestly, I do not know how to thank you. I knew all the information about the CAGED sys. for such a long time but couldn't figure it out well. With this video you solved the puzzle for me. Now I know how to play Chords, Scales, and connect rhythm and lead. Thank you from a human being Who does appreciate what you are doing. A person from the most isolated country in the world which is Libya sends his regards and please keep it coming.
Everyone watch this video multiple times. Every time I watch it I get something else out of it, or understand more. I think this is my 13th time watching it.
Fantastic as ever Brian and happy xmas 👍 do you or anyone else on here ever have those days where no matter what you do , you just can't get your flow going on the guitar ? Because I've had a stinker today !
Brian, thank you. I've "known" this stuff for years (have a pretty good book on the subject) but I haven't ever taken the time to apply it. Today I played along with your lesson and applied the knowledge - it works wonders. You've done an excellent job of presenting the information in a clear, concise manner. I've left the hair metal, power chord world and taken up rockabilly playing which caged is so perfect for.
BEFORE watching this video: I struggled with the word "shape". The "C"-Shape doesn't look like a "C", it even looks different for each chord I play in this "shape". Looking at the pentatonic system, each pentatonic "box" has the same shape. But not in the CAGED-system. 🥺 AFTER watching this video: now things become clear to me! 😃🎉 THX VERY MUCH
Typically i don't subscribe to many RUclips channels but sir you are a natural teacher I truly am beginning to understand these guitar theories you are making my guitar journey a beautiful experience props to you.
Great teacher after watching his videos I decided to bought his lesson for life access, affordable and very helpfully for guitar learner. Everything is layout very systematically,. Chords formation, CAGED, solo all are well covered definitely worth to buy! Thank you very much Sir!
I've watched a few of your videos and always found them helpful but you are literally the first RUclips guitar teacher that has FINALLY got this through my head. I follow a lot from Justin to Marty to whomever and none of them was able to so clearly explain CAGED like you just have. Thank you, newly subbed to the channel.
I guess I needed to watch like 5 different explanations of this until I got to you to figure it out. It just wasn't really making sense until this video. Now I'm figuring it out all across the fretboard. Such a freeing feeling. I'll become a member of your site soon. You're an excellent teacher. Thank you.
GOLD ! I paused about 6 times to take notes LOL ! ''Chord chasing'' (1,3, 5) is now so much easier to me thanks to this vid. It made me want to learn where all the 1 to 7 notes were (per scale) and thanks to the actual barre chord shapes of the CAGED system (not the pentatonic patterns but actual shapes), the 1,3, 5 notes are now a piece of cake to find. THANKS 😁 !
Fantastic video. I have watched so many videos on the caged system but all seemed to leave out just enough to lose me somewhere along the way. This is the clearest and most comprehensive video on the caged system. Thank you so much
This is the video lesson I have been looking for! Thank you so much, Brian, you are really making a difference for those who are dedicated to learning the soloing :)
Thank you, thank you, and thank you. As a beginner guitar student this has been by far THE most comprehensive video explaining the CAGED system. I truly appreciate this,... will watch numerous times. Already a Subscriber
At 23:40, I meant to say "C minor chord, in the G shape"....NOT the "G minor chord"
Wow new to guitar since October , that's alot to take in ;) Thanks big help right when I needed it Cheers
that's a minor mistake ;>

"Brian Kelly and The Zombies" great name for a band.
great as always, but this one should come with a warning: "Your head may explode if you attempt to learn all this in one sitting!"

Always like that with his video. Just one enlightenment after the other.

Now I know how to play Chords, Scales, and connect rhythm and lead. Thank you from a human being Who does appreciate what you are doing. A person from the most isolated country in the world which is Libya sends his regards and please keep it coming.
your videos are awesome !!! They help me a lot to understand music theory. Thanks a lot ;)
Everyone watch this video multiple times. Every time I watch it I get something else out of it, or understand more. I think this is my 13th time watching it.
Thanks man! I really appreciate that 😁
You are the best Brian
Thanks for watching! 😀
Thank you from germany for this great Lesson. Vielen Dank!
Another great lesson Brian that helped me to reinforce my existing knowledge in a great formatted way
Fantastic as ever Brian and happy xmas 👍 do you or anyone else on here ever have those days where no matter what you do , you just can't get your flow going on the guitar ? Because I've had a stinker today !
Yes, it's very common. It's how I feel every day!
Brian, I am going to boost your ego again! The best caged lesson on the internet! Thank you!😁
Much appreciated! 😀
Brian, You are one of the best guitar teachers I've watched online. Greatly appreciate you
Spot on intro referencing incompleteness of others references to CAGED. Brian....you have a knack for not missing the links between concepts.
Every guitarist needs to watch this video! Game changer! Best teacher on youtube
Thank you. Your effort in explaining (diagrams, concise, but thorough explanations, examples) is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for checkin out my vid! 😁
Brian, thank you. I've "known" this stuff for years (have a pretty good book on the subject) but I haven't ever taken the time to apply it. Today I played along with your lesson and applied the knowledge - it works wonders. You've done an excellent job of presenting the information in a clear, concise manner. I've left the hair metal, power chord world and taken up rockabilly playing which caged is so perfect for.
Best CAGED lesson i've seen yet
You are the first person who made me clear the caged system. Thank you sir/ Brother
your are the best teacher and god bless you i just found what i have been looking for
BEFORE watching this video: I struggled with the word "shape". The "C"-Shape doesn't look like a "C", it even looks different for each chord I play in this "shape". Looking at the pentatonic system, each pentatonic "box" has the same shape. But not in the CAGED-system. 🥺 AFTER watching this video: now things become clear to me! 😃🎉 THX VERY MUCH
Pentatonic is for the scale (layer 1). CAGED is for chords (layer 2) 😁
Excellent - Light bulb lighting up!
Typically i don't subscribe to many RUclips channels but sir you are a natural teacher I truly am beginning to understand these guitar theories you are making my guitar journey a beautiful experience props to you.
Great teacher after watching his videos I decided to bought his lesson for life access, affordable and very helpfully for guitar learner. Everything is layout very systematically,. Chords formation, CAGED, solo all are well covered definitely worth to buy! Thank you very much Sir!
Thank you!! I'm glad to hear that you are happy with the site 😁😁
Honestly this is your best video, completely demystified CAGED for me
Very comprehensive lesson but it was great. It answered a lot of questions and made clear how it all works.
Now I finally understand what the caged system is all about. Thank you Brian.
Very good lesson. I had learned most of these shapes over the years but now I see how they fit in the caged system.
I've watched a few of your videos and always found them helpful but you are literally the first RUclips guitar teacher that has FINALLY got this through my head. I follow a lot from Justin to Marty to whomever and none of them was able to so clearly explain CAGED like you just have. Thank you, newly subbed to the channel.
Glad to hear it Mike! Thanks for the sub 😀
The most comprehensive CAGED lesson ever. I agree with you 💯.. I've made good progress since I started following your lessons. Much love from Ghana 💖💖
fantastic, you're a gifted teacher a big thank you (from the North UK) for putting so much effort into your lessons
I guess I needed to watch like 5 different explanations of this until I got to you to figure it out. It just wasn't really making sense until this video. Now I'm figuring it out all across the fretboard. Such a freeing feeling. I'll become a member of your site soon. You're an excellent teacher. Thank you.
Awesome glad to hear this vid was helpful for ya. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the site!
Your right this is the best explanations of caged
i love the way u teacher guitar ever u are not selfish at all
GOLD ! I paused about 6 times to take notes LOL ! ''Chord chasing'' (1,3, 5) is now so much easier to me thanks to this vid. It made me want to learn where all the 1 to 7 notes were (per scale) and thanks to the actual barre chord shapes of the CAGED system (not the pentatonic patterns but actual shapes), the 1,3, 5 notes are now a piece of cake to find. THANKS 😁 !
Glad to hear that the video was helpful David! Thanks for checking it out 😀🎸
Fantastic video. I have watched so many videos on the caged system but all seemed to leave out just enough to lose me somewhere along the way.
This is the clearest and most comprehensive video on the caged system. Thank you so much
Such an insightful lesson clearly communicated. Thank you!
Great tutorial. I've watched several CAGED lessons and this one actually explained it clearly and made me "get it". Thanks
This is the video lesson I have been looking for! Thank you so much, Brian, you are really making a difference for those who are dedicated to learning the soloing :)
WOW !!!! BY FAR ,THE MOST DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE CAGED SYSTEM ON RUclips!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE AHA MOMENT I JUST EXPERIENCED!!!
Thank you, thank you, and thank you. As a beginner guitar student this has been by far THE most comprehensive video explaining the CAGED system. I truly appreciate this,... will watch numerous times. Already a Subscriber
Hey glad to hear the vid helped. Thanks for checking it out! 😀
