Dude.....this finally made sense to me. I have been watching all kinds of CAGED videos but for some reason, the linking of the chords finally clicked. Don't say an old dog can't learn a new trick. Now I just need to practice a bunch more.
Ive watched just about 100 videos about how yhe caged ststem works but none of the creators have had the capacity to explain it well enough but after watching this video everything clicked. Great video
He showed more in 16 minutes than all the gobbledygook in paid for series of rambling deepakoprahchoprahisms. Subscribed. If you ever come to Hawaii, come teach at our school
Okay so I know I've been putting all caps comments on your videos all night, Andrew, but also SWEET JESUS WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE EXPLAIN IT LIKE THIS!??!?!?!?! This is SO MUCH SIMPLER than what EVERYONE ELSE ON RUclips has been doing!!!
Dude, I’ve spent SO much time searching for guitar theory lessons online and there is no possible way of making it easier to understand than how you break it all down 🙏🏼 Ty!!!
Andrew, I'm an old guy who has been playing for a long time but it's all been piecemeal - learning song by song from chord sheets, etc, Therefore, I have not learned the guitar or music, for that matter. I'm taking lessons from a guy now but I find his approach is unstructured and not sequenced. So I'm looking for an A-Z approach that will build my knowledge and flavor up my playing over time....although I don't probably have that many years left, so I need to see more immediate progress commensurate to my level of practice. I like to sing and so I want to learn how to play interestingly while singing. I don't think there's enough time for me to be the next Jeff Beck, right? So, please be honest - is your listen/play course right for me? Another subscriber below referenced a Fretboard Logic course by you which he purchased. Would that be a better starting point and where would I buy it? Thank you. You can teach, brother!
Hey! Sorry for the delay getting back to you. I do think Listen & Play would be great for you if you are wanting to get a deeper understanding of your guitar and build connections between all the different elements in music. The main focus of the course is teaching you how to listen to a song, understand what you're hearing, and apply it to the fretboard. Fretboard Logic is not a course of mine. At this time Listen & Play is the only structured guitar course I offer. Feel free to send me an email if you want to discuss further: andrewclarkeguitar@gmail.com
Good video - started out great, and I get the concept…. But by the 6 minutes in - my eyes are already glassing over and I’m lost. I just don’t think I’ll ever understand CAGED. I’m a pretty advanced player and know my open shapes and bar chords like the back of my hand…. I’ve watched a ton of videos on CAGED and I’m convinced I’ll just never “get” it. Andrew - your videos are amazing though, I have learned so much from other videos… keep it up!! Especially the “home base” video - that was awesome!!
I get that. Honestly, I'd say that as long as you know that there are moveable bar chord shapes for C, G, and D then you don't have to worry about the other stuff. Fully knowing the CAGED system isn't necessary, it's just a fretboard navigation tool that works well for SOME guitar players. If it isn't for you, then it's all good. I appreciate the kind words and support. All the best! :)
I once felt like you in regards to CAGED. I suggest learning the notes in the triad of each shape. That somewhat simplifies how you have to view each shape and that helped me actually make the CAGED system useful.
Keep trying and take it very slow you will start eventually to understand and definitely play guitar with the videos if your just watching it should help
I'd recommend learning the fundamentals first. Learn your open chords, simple strumming patterns, and some basic fretboard navigation first. Once you've got the hang of that stuff, you can come back here.
@@CodyCooper-go6dp Unfortunately, I don't. My lessons are more geared to those that already know the fundamentals. I do have a beginner roadmap that might help: ruclips.net/video/vh3QYVJu8BU/видео.html I think searching for each thing in the roadmap on RUclips will give you pretty good results. At some point I'm hoping to have a total beginner series of videos or course. But I haven't got to it yet.
The problem is that CAGED and beginner, as in true beginner, doesn't really mix well. Because it basically depends on barre chords, which most true beginners struggle with.
I get such mixed input on this. I've decided that fretboard diagram will stay this way in the videos, but I've got the flipped diagrams up over on Patreon for those who want it. Best of both worlds ☺

Hahaha I'm so happy to hear that 😀
Can you please make a video on harmonizing a melody
Good suggestion!
Really great CAGED lesson .... thanks Andrew!!
Glad you liked it!

Oh, and most def subscribed 👍🏼
Your videos are just fantastic! You explain the music theory so well and I am learning so much. Thank thank you
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching :)
Man, light bulb moment when you connected the Caged system at the end! Thank you
Awesome! Thanks for watching ☺
Your last video on fretboard visualization was awesome. I’m now a subscriber.
Thank you so much :)
Bought the fretboard logic to try and figure how caged work and you made it make sense. Cheers Andrew for the clear explanation
Thanks for watching!
Andrew, excellent concise demonstration of the caged system and how it works. Subscribed.
No! Not overwhelming! We love it all! 👍👍👍👍
Great! ☺🙌
Very well explained 🙏🙏 thank you so much 🍻
My pleasure!
Great info. And a beautiful guitar. Matching headstocks are super cool!
Thanks so much, Tony!
Aside from it missing a string and not being scalloped of course
Nice one. Thx

Hey andrew! Nice video, anyways can u make a video about double stops?
Thanks! I'll get working on a more thorough video on double-stops, but in the meantime, I do have this video: ruclips.net/video/bz09jk22fK8/видео.html
So this is my first time touching a string…what do I need to know first before I do this method? Or can I just start from this method?
I'd recommend learning the fundamentals first. Learn your open chords, simple strumming patterns, and some basic fretboard navigation first. Once you've got the hang of that stuff, you can come back here.
@@andrewclarkeguitar Do you have any of those lessons? Or possibly know the best direction to go to learn that stuff?

That new beauty...
Thanks for noticing 😅 She's a beauty for sure.
Do you give private lessons
I don't at this time. Sorry!
The problem is that CAGED and beginner, as in true beginner, doesn't really mix well. Because it basically depends on barre chords, which most true beginners struggle with.
FRETBD graphic is for LEFTIES. It is backwards for the MAJORITY OF PLAYERS. WTF is wrong w/ these otherwise BRILLIANT instructors that don't get it?!
are you high? it's the correct way of showing the diagrams.
Noice
Thanks!
Are you married? 😅
Yes, I am
@@andrewclarkeguitar you are too attractive that I can’t focus on your charming lesson 🫣 sorry for my honesty
I'm unmarried
Bro….. please…. Flip the chart so it’s not left handed.
I get such mixed input on this. I've decided that fretboard diagram will stay this way in the videos, but I've got the flipped diagrams up over on Patreon for those who want it. Best of both worlds ☺
This is the way it looks when you're looking down at the fretboard and how every major tab/chord site has it.
The twelfth fret is to my right when I look down on it… not my left. I’m right handed.
