Dude, it's all about CAGED and filling in everything inside each shape. I did not know this until I started watching you! I have been getting so many compliments at gigs about my new found soloing. I have been a cowboy chord singer, g shape minor pentatonic solo-er for 20 years...Thank you so much for expanding my musical pallet and all the other wisdom.
I started playing 3 years ago at 51. To me the CAGED system is the fundamental map of the neck. Finding out how to play the chords you want, all in the same position, opens up a whole new world....👍🎸🤘🎸
It seems that lots of people of limited talent and experience try to get some profile on YT and other social networks by starting and entertaining these kinds of arguments - not only about music. IMHO, it's a shame that a talented and experienced man like yourself has to waste his time with this kind of arguments. Good on you that you take it upon yourself to again negate such nonsense by way of the brillant examples you give here. In the end, everyone will have to decide for themselves where they get their information from. I, for one, have already decided, and I'm grateful to you, Sir, for all you've so generously given us!
Watching you play is like looking in the deepest well, endless chops, and fluid phrasing. I've been playing for 30 years and you never cease to impress me with you playing. Never seen anyone flow so seamless between major, blues, chromatic, and jazz phrasing. It's insane how second nature this is for you.
Well done GT. Tim Lerch has a truly wonderful articulate explanation of this very issue that I think walks the line of compromise and simultaneously explains why the CAGED system is so effective, but where it might become confusing or misleading
Flat out best guitar player on the planet to my ears and such a genuine and humble dude. I've met a few music "stars" who were unpleasant but Guthrie is always giving off good vibes. Thanks for putting out your magic for all of us to enjoy!
Hi Guthrie. I think you are spot on. Its all about knowing all the chord shapes in triads and thn the extended colour notes. The CAGED system is just an acronym to remember the order thet the shapes appear, from which positions you can play literally everything as you demonstrate. Just a faddy way of helping people remember. Zero limitation - just a way of remembering order.
Hi Guthrie, your teaching is above reproach whether you want to focus on the CAGED system or any other way to discover the fretboard. I've played for 50+ years and watching you has got me out of some old habits and allowed me to expand my knowledge and playing exponentially. You are one of the most capable and versatile guitarists out there and you should feel no reason to justify your methods. Keep up the excellent work as I'm sure most subscribers would like to be half as good as you.
Dig your take on CAGED. You always give some great nuggets. Wish I had RUclips when i was first dying to learn how to play? I’m kind of stuck with a Swiss Cheese, filling in the many holes in my playing approach! Foundational system of tying the guitar together is what I’m working on. Practicing Triads, memorizing and Learning the Notes on the fingerboard has opened up a lot. Tying it together with chords, arpeggios and scales is next. It’s really fun when connections happen and older pieces of knowledge fall into place!
Dude, that intro was soooooo good! Can’t wait to finish the video, but seriously that intro is making me wanna pickup my guitar now!!! Thanks for the inspiration Guthrie
“It’s the foundation…the bottom level … “ most try to teach the “5 minutes to understanding guitar “ method. I love that you are showing how to build an understanding of how all of these fundamentals tie together. CAGE, triads, key tones. It has helped me identify a path to grow on.
The world is a better place when people can disagree and peacefully express their position on an issue. I wish the CAGED debate was a case study for expressing views on other topics. Learning is an individual experience, CAGED works for some but not all. The rallying point is that we all want to improve our skills and abilities. If CAGED doesn't work for some folks, let them make videos on their point of view. The collective gets better with more and different types of help. Regardless, I am grateful to GT and this forum for helping me improve - and have fun doing it.
Man, this, once again, is a really clear and concise explanation of the application of the fundamentals and building upon the fundamentals. This is how you progress and become a musician. THANKS!
This channel is like a gold mine that always produces! Great lesson once again Mr. Trapp! And, I loved the bonus footage and awesome music from the festival. Was that Keb Mo with Taj on Fishing Blues?
I drank too much coffee one time. I was so shaky that it kinda scared me. I was young about 23 or so. Great lesson as usual. Have a good trip man. Peace
Thanks Guthrie for all of your lessons , I don't understand the constant debate over the caged system , it is a representation of how the guitar is laid out , the octave shapes that's it .
I knew the 3nps patterns for years before caged .I absolutely agree caged is by a better foundation especially to start seeing chord shapes everywhere. As far as the scales derived from caged shapes you only need to move a couple notes to have a 3 nps.For the big picture chords,arpeggios, pentatonics,pentatonic, you're dead on agree 100%....Thanks,Guthrie 👍
The CAGED "system" is simply a pattern on the fretboard to help you to "see" things. And it's there whether you see it or not. So to suggest that it is "limiting" is misleading. Like Guthrie says, it's no different than seeing or knowing the pentatonic shapes for instance. It's up to the player to take all this information and make some actual music with it. For me, knowing (seeing) the notes on the fretboard is very helpful, particularly when improvising. And I'll use every tool/trick available to help me do that. As always, Thanks GT!
I'm with you. CAGED has helped me immensely and I had played for years before getting into it. Now I know the chord shapes, the triads for each shape and the scales for each shape (so far: major, minor, pent major and pent minor and I'm still learning more). It's given me the ability to play seven chords within 5 or 6 frets or so. Example; I'll play an A major E shape at the fifth fret then play the other six chords all from that position.Then I'll play the scales for those chords in that position. I couldn't have done that without the CAGED system, I never did that until I started the GAGED system. I never had lessons and didn't learn caged until RUclips came along (tells ya something about my age). So I'm definitely with you on CAGED! By the way it was nice of you not give up the assholes name who said CAGED was limiting. It has helped me with every style of music, period. Love your lessons, and your videos! When I get some scratch together I would love to get some lessons from you. Thanks again.
Man I'm about 30 minutes out of Jacksonville but I'm actually playing somewhere tomorrow as well. Wish I could catch y'all. And you can't go wrong with Joe's crab shack or Salt Life 👍
Caught the show in Jacksonville, great work! Great band all around, such a pocket rhythm section! It seems like you had problems with the monitors but the mix was great out front. Well done!
Guthrie, I tried the supplement that you showed on one of your videos and I gotta say thank you so much! It has already drastically improved my guitar playing capabilities. My fingers are no longer swollen and feel so much better now!
@@crazywisdom2 can't remember which vid, but it's called Terry Naturally Curamed. It's not real cheap, but it's the only thing that has worked for me. I love the stuff.
Great lesson! We talk of limits like they are a bad thing. Everything about music is limits and boundaries. If you have a musical composition that’s limitless you don’t have a musical composition
I want to say that was fantastic! I watch all of your videos. I learned this song on my own a few years back, and you have some slight differences but I like your interpretation as well as mine. Also, would love to see your take on Too Shy To Say. Peace bruh!
Whenever anybody feels they need to tell you are mistaken, or not giving us the real low-down, they need to prove themselves with a video... not you... you are to humble and kind, kind Sir... the fucking caged system is on of the most useful tools in the improv belt
When people dis CAGED I assume they either don’t get it or they’re trying to sell you something different.😂 It’s so obviously useful for guitar. Fundamental as you say. It’s not useful for a piano player but it is literally the roadmap for a guitar. Understanding those shapes for chords and then applying them to arpeggios, triads, pentatonic shapes and diatonic scales is in no way limiting. That’s just nonsense.
I completely agree with you. I believe it is more about selling you something. It's an old sales technique, out with the old like the caged and in with the new whatever it is they're selling you. And the caged system may be old, that's what I learned on, but it's fundamental. and fundamentals don't change, i don't think.
I think a lot of people want something instantaneous, which isn't going to happen. If you sit down and work with CAGED, you WILL be better guitar player. It just takes a little time and effort.
I find from years of teaching, lots of people who say ‘CAGED doesn’t work’ are usually trying to play fast alternate picking or legato shred runs which I agree 3 notes per string works better for. However for almost everything. CAGED works great
I saw that guy as well. He played the caged system throughout the lesson! He confused the caged system with first position.his point was that barre chords give you versatility across the fretboard , allow for embellishment and colour chords and locate the triads. but he barred the caged shapes to support his point!
From my perspective, I see the CAGED system the same way I see mile post markers on the road. Do mile post markers many anyone a good driver, they certainly do not. What they do though is tell you where your at, just like the CAGED system does. C mile post #1 straight ahead, F mile post #4 heads up mile post #5 coming up. I've wanted to take my playing to the next level and I feel that the CAGED system is what's going to do that for me. Currently I can play the hell out of the Key center, but not to the changing harmonic structure. Correct me if I'm wrong, but once I can play to the changing harmonic structure I should be playing more correct notes and making more of what sounds like music.
Yes. Sounding more musical melodic and connected with the chords as they go by. Especially with a song with non typical diatonic chords. Seeing the triads /chord shapes in all the differrent neck areas etc is so useful
Well, I had to go try and find that video and I’m pretty sure I located the one. I got a strong impression that the guy in the video just doesn’t understand what it is (which is a bit concerning for someone who teaches). All I know is that YOU got me hooked on it and it’s totally changed the way I play for the better.
Guth- I got one of those strap locks so my strap doesn't fall off- but it's squeaking against my guitar. Does yours squeak? edit- I've never used the caged system but I'll look up a video or something. We always appreciate your input!
GT when in Nashville what is the best resource for finding the best gigs - I was just there went to Printers Alley but would have liked to visit East Nashville off the beaten path - where to go to find the best places to visit?
Guthrie, if you do read these comments the most difficult part I find to follow is the menu just say something like “in here is playing in A7 chord“ and just noodling out the notes to what sounds like a really nice solo. I understand the cage positions but can’t really comprehend without seeing some type of tab for what you’re playing or explaining what you’re doing.
It's the major scale just in numbers: 1-do 2-ra 3-mi 4-fa 5-so 6-la 7-ti 8=1-do Each tone has a chord 1-Major-1,3,5 2-minor-2,4,6 3-minor-3,5,7 4-Major-4,6,1 5-Major-5,7,2 6-minor-6,1,3 7-diminished-7,2,4 You'll usually play the 1-4-5-6 chords in a song which are all three major chords and the most common minor chord. If you learn the major scale with no open strings and practice saying the numbers to yourself as you play it, you'll master the numbers system in no time. Then you can play in any key and be ready for funky chord additions at the drop of a hat. For example, if someone throws a 2 chord at you, it's 2 frets up from the key your 1 chord is (key your playing in). It will be a minor chord unless it has additions to its name. If you get that down, you're off and running with the numbers system.
@@guthrietrappmusic I know, but the caged system is named after 5 major chord shapes. An excellent opportunity for you to introduce a brandspankin new CaAf#GeEc#Db system to the guitarworld... Cheers!
People hating on CAGED don’t understand tying your scales utilizing it for minor/major and visualizing 7th chords and dominant chords. It doesn’t limit you at all! I know the dude your talking about Kerry 2 Smooth and he just hasn’t done a deep dive on it taking it further than cowboy chords

Awesome always informative and great advice. And sounds so correct. And that means sounds good always
Great to see Taj still goin'. An absolute legend. Thanks for the bonus footage GT!
