Hi Sandra. I once I played guitar in a Big Band. First step was to know what they expected from me and what not. This made things easy. They wanted to hear me. So I took a loud guitar, a 12 string. As a pick I had a chip of ebony. I used only barre chords, I always played all the strings. So they could hear me and I din't use amplification. Brass is loud but it worked. The chords I needed was only E and A, major and minor, and always with a 7 in it. I played all the chords with 2 or 3 fingers and did't use my pinky. Quite often I had to do some shifts. This is not difficult but for a moment there is a hole in the sound. Just hear such a band and you will see, there will be no hole for the audience. There is always sound. I did not think about the root of a chord. There was a bassman and this was his job. Once I was asked to play a solo. Well, you should not play single notes on a 12 string. So I played chords. I had free fingers enough to alternate a bit and made a bit more with my right hand. This was enough for them. In a Big Band there is never a lack of soloists. Someone mentioned, I did the job without amplification. This was looked upon as a small sensation, but only for insiders. It is easy and it works. Cold you make a video about this?
Thanks for coherently explaining the caged system. Most guitar teachers on RUclips or in person can't actually explain it well. After watching this video, i realize that it is a great way of understanding chord inversions. Also, totally awesome that your strat matches your shirt. ☺
Remley Yep, i bought the guitar after the t-shirt. Ya know the ladies, we want everything matched together perfectly, lol. Just kidding, it's pure coincidence.
Before I watch this I want to say that I really hope you make this concept understandable. I’ve been watching videos for CAGED for a while and it’s not made sense yet. I wish you luck. :)
Thanks Dennis. I have a master in jazz guitar performance and one as an instructor. I've been teaching for 25+ years. It's a pleasure to help people learning to play what they love!
Hi Sandra. Thanks for your great lesson. For the C - Chord as the D - Shape I like the voicing: ( 12 X 10 12 13 X ). Actually what you are playing here is C/E ... the first inversion, but it has a very cool sound.Take care. Stephan
Great lesson which is very understandable! Exactly what I needed, as well as a lot of practice of course. I didn't hesitate to Subscribe. Thank you. Kushty Bok
Thank you, Detlev! This is a custom built guitar from Warmoth. I ordered the parts to my customizations and assembled it myself. The neck is just a maple neck, nothing fancy, but with a short scale length and a Wizzard shaped slim neck, bc I have really tiny fingers.
so i have a ? i get how moving each shape up the neck works now and what the shapes are but i dont get how or when to use different shapes for a chord progression rather then using the same shape like you see sublime will go between a bar chord shapes and e bar chord shapes is it just a matter of trying different bar chord shape voiceings and seeing what works or is there a trick to it
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman thanks alot for the reply and video your a great teacher and very helpful; i will subscribe ive been trying to learn these and for the longest time didnt click, i mainly play in drop tuning and just use power chord inversions but now i think im finally getting it!
0:50 CAGED System Brief Overview
2:23 Major Chords

Jessie J I hope I succeeded 😊

Its amazing how you know all this stuff,

Sie you can do that. It's an inversion then. I have a video on 7th Chords inversion. Check it out! Stay safe! ❤️

Thanks so much Gypsy Rose
Cool. Never heard before.
Do you have more beginners lessons? If not, could you recommend some for me to work on? Thank you. Kushty Bok
Jazz? Because I only do jazz anymore. This lesson is from day back when I also did rock lessons.
A very good teacher you are ...! What neck is this that you use on your strats?

You want to play what's closest to the chord you've played before.
