This is my take on the CAGED system
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 ноя 2022
- Is the CAGED system truly "the key to unlocking the fretboard" like many RUclips ads suggest? Can memorizing one shape have you playing like Hendrix or John Mayer?
Memorizing shapes is a subject we have to be a little careful about. Applying musical ideas requires you to be a patient listener. Systems like CAGED can sometimes help us progress quickly, but eventually have us stuck playing at the same level.
How do we avoid this? This problem does not mean we can't or shouldn't use the CAGED idea to improve our playing or help us find where we are on the fretboard. Let's learn CAGED a new way and enjoy playing guitar more!
Thanks so much for watching!

That's why I love watching your video, feels like having a one-on-one human conversation, you have this natural flow and no cliche acting lines like many standard youtube videos, and the blues phrases are always so beautiful, I really enjoy watching it.
So happy to hear that. When I make these talk videos, I think about my own students and simply as if I were just talking to my student. Live lesson! That's why I don't rehearse this or practice this before I press "ON" button! It's LIVE! Thank you so much! Funny part is I don't now what to record until every Thursday noon! Normally I record this around 3pm on Thursday afternoon with my coffee!
@@TomoFujitaMusic I love coffee as well!That’s an improvised lifestyle for learning improvising, instinct, creativity, instantaneous reaction, concentration, be in the moment, humanity shines.
I think Japanese say Hai when in agreement. :)
Thank you. My face hurts from 30 minutes of smiling. Thank you
You're very welcome! Thank you so much! Keep smiling!
"I practiced a lot, studied music theory, hit the wrong note" just noticed this hilariously relatable line
So happy to hear that! I am a human!
i know this video is 1yr old now but it really helped me out a great deal because the CAGED system for me is an easy concept to understand but application to guitar not so much. thank you for posting this, I wish i had found it sooner!
Glad it helped! So happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing! You're very welcome!
You Triads/Inversions lesson/test has been helping me tremendously. I do it every day. My main focus is not to memorize, but to concentrate on the awareness of where the root/fifth/third are and play with that at each position.
So happy to hear that. Good job! No memorization so important!
When you think about it.... It's all memorization when learning anything on an instrument
@@JTB-- more important to hear it
@@JTB-- The difference on guitar is that it's much more important to learn the meaning and context of each note and note grouping. Memorization is one of the biggest pitfalls of learning guitar.
Can you share the link please
Every time I watch a Tomo Fujita video I smile even if I don’t understand music theory. He just really cool.
Thank you so much! Don't worry! I teach fretboard theory at my Guitar Wisdom. (more details & super slow!)
Like you all, I too am on my guitar journey. And I find that the blues example the teacher plays is so good as an etude that if you learn it note for note and analyze it or keep an awareness if what he is playing (and then go on to put in your own variations) it’s a perfect little piece to study in order to learn about using dominant 7 arpeggios with minor and major pentatonic and keeping in mind target notes.
There is such intention behind the playing and choices in this little etude he spontaneously played that it is worth studying carefully to get your bearings.
This is the best example I’ve seen of this stuff from any teacher. I learned so much from learning this piece. Thank you!
Good job! Thank you for sharing! So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!
"When you learn, don't have an opinion" -- man, that was what I needed to hear. You are not just teaching guitar. There was so much valuable wisdom here. Summarizing in 1 page, etc. -- I will try it.
EDIT: It was funny to hear you mix 中途半端 in your English sentence. Haha.
Glad you enjoyed it. Guitar can make people very humble! Not so good to be 中途半端！Thank you so much!

More often than not, everytime you remind me to be kind to myself, patient, and not compete, it brings a tear to my eye.
I don’t think a lot of us realize how hard we are on ourselves. I always appreciate these gentle reminders. You’ve made learning guitar an absolute pleasure for me, and I’ll always look forward to your excellent lessons. Thank you Tomo 🤍🤍🤍
Especially smart people...so hard on themselves! Be kind to yourself! We do this naturally... naturally is good & bad sometimes. Bad habits! Thank you so much!

This is the first time I felt like I had a real lesson 1on1 on yt, no cuts (I think it is really all in ONE take, did I miss something?), no fancy effects - just straight out monologue by Tomo full of passion to music and that will to teach people. Arigatou gozaimasu, Tomo-san!
So happy to hear that. Yes! I always give myself one chance to play, record! No editing so it's very real. Thank you so much!
This guy is the man. Best teacher of the instrument I've personally come across.

Great information..
Thank you! 👍
My pleasure!
Professor, with much love and respect, I am compelled to add some commentary to your introduction implying criticism of CAGED, namely that is all about shapes and sequencing those shapes. What you wonderfully go on to expound makes my point. We are saying the same thing.
CAGED is often taught half ass by some teachers as just the visual shapes and their connection. Sometimes the student creates this scenario because they don't want to dive deeper and the poor teacher, well he goes along hoping the student wants to go deeper eventually.
I took 3 lessons from Rich Grado, a Berklee Grad who teaches what he calls his CAGED O/S system. He taught exactly what you go on to promote--the full application. With each shape, he showed the octave shape, the scale, the chord tones, scale degrees & intervals, and the arpeggio. He had much, much more about application but I need to really learn what I had already been given.
I find your approach masterful and assuring--calm, zen like; learn that which is immediately in front of you.
Thank you so much for your videos.
Thanks for sharing. So happy to hear that. I always wanted to talk about this. Finally I made it!
And you are modest to, God bless thanks for cage.
Thank you so much!
Brilliant lesson 👍🇬🇧👍 thanks
You're welcome! Thank you!
You just said something that i was thinking about today,just staying mostly on the high four strings .Also thinking triads in the cage approach rather than the entire chord.You just provided me with a breakout iin understanding Thank you so much.
Thanks for sharing. Triads & Inversions ( No shapes! Intervals!)
Wish I had this type of training 50yrs ago. No instructors out here in HI back than. Everything I've learn have been thru watching others & by ear. Mahalos!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for all of your lessons! I remember so many things that you say in the moment when I'm trying something.
You once explained the purpose for the BB box rather than showing an exercise. It changed how I play with the BB box and by extension every other "system".
I play with intention more now. Thank you!
So happy to hear that! Something is working for you! Thank you for sharing!
Awesome lession.
Very helpful....
Glad to hear that! Thank you so much!
I just love your vibe as a guitar teacher...its been a while since I tuned in but I recall the moment I saw what the CAGED inventor was showing WOW the whole Rosetta Stone...thanks again for YOU and your style doing this further! And mostly thanks for that relaxed self effacing zen style guitar
Thank you so much! So happy to hear that!

Tony, thanks for sharing your knowledge. It's greatly appreciated.
My pleasure! Thank you!
Thank you. Two weeks in, gonna take it slow, as you advise. Already read music (badly) for piano, trumpet, and I see your book, and want to practice that way, slowly, with one or two of your videos every one or two weeks. THANK YOU for getting me started.
You're welcome! Please do it slowly. Thank you!
God bless Tomo just legendary content
Thank you!
I study so much from Mr. Tomo. Thank you very much
Great to hear that. Thank you so much!
A great insight from a professional as yourself. Always thought fondly of CAGED because I was introduced to it early in my guitar journey
Thank you!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Cheers!
I luv your show, and your lessons you do , you have a great feel and play incredibly well. Thankyou for passing on great knowledge, trials opened up the ability to get good sounding melodic sounds in my soloing and helped me with arpegios connecting. Again thankyou my friend
Thanks so much! So happy to hear that. You're very welcome!

Good job! I taught Tyler Larson all important foundation. Triads and more! Thank you so much!
Excelente,muchas gracias.
Thank you!
Thanks Tomo! ❤
My pleasure! Thank you!
Love the lessons
Thank you!
Tomo - pure gold! Been using CAGED for several years and I definitely tend to think C as well. I’m starting to see the chords and scales together due to practicing triads.....thanks to you! You can’t play it if you can’t see it! Cheers!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot!!
You're welcome!
Tomo Sensei, thank you for this lesson. Beyond E-shape and A-shape barre chords, I didn't previously "get the point" of the CAGED system. Nobody seemed to play the other chord shapes yet every RUclips teacher seems to go on and on about CAGED. The problem I had with seeing the point of CAGED is that triads, intervals and scales seem more fundamental to me. The CAGED system always seemed like a clunky, round-about way to learn triads. This lesson filled in some gaps in my understanding of where CAGED (or D-CAGE :-) ) fits and what it is useful for. Thanks.

Thank you!!!
You're very welcome! Thank you!
I have to say, Mr. Tomo is the most relaxed and happy person I've ever met, even across the screen with great affinity. Of course, your musical prowess is another story. God bless you!
When I teach, I just don't rush & fill things too much! One thing at a time approach. So happy to hear that. Thank you!
@@TomoFujitaMusic One thing at a time approach -- simple and powerful wisdom, but people always ignore this sharp weapon. thanks for your sharing.
@@danlau007 You're welcome! I teach this way. One thing really deep way. Until you do it that so well. Then we can talk next subject.
Thank you Mr. Fujita.
Your comment about not having an opinion just observe and learn is quite wise.
Also I have been using one page with bullet points for decades. It is a great tool for public speaking.
When I teach, I use my neutral opinion to my students too. Respect & admire always! You're clever! One page does amazing job. 2-3 pages will do poor job!
I waited a while to share my thoughts but I couldn’t agree more with what you shared. And some of the comments. The CAGE system is great for an anchor as a tool to learn and know keys. It’s almost like seeing the frets as twelve capos.
Much music exists including B#, Cb, E#, Fb. Double flat (Bb) & so on … seeing the neck as a picture of everyone’s music, kinetically putting the fingers down to everyone’s music, auditory hearing of everyone’s music as many keys as systems to view, feel, or hear, are our shortcuts, as an asset or defect. I think in my humble opinion working out the next hardest piece of music makes us intrinsically more prepared for whatever is easier. Theory is hard. Shapes help assign theory. One is incomplete without the other, as we likely see as we hear and feel. Most of use do not experience a lack of any of those character traits, and we use the stronger to strengthen the other. That I guess is where I see the cages system .. a visual and auditory tool for finding theory. As our ears and hands grow, we can abandon shapes and play spontaneous composition from really knowing the song. Substitution , Reharmonization, or traditional accompaniment of any piece.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I’m from Boston so I can say this is a wicked cool lesson.
Thanks so much!
thanks Tomo, that was a good talk. i see these things, (triads, caged, intervals, scales, modes....etc.) as tools, nothing more. my arrangements come from small parts of each depending on the song, comfort, speed and/or impact. i am self taught and have been using what i call abbreviated chords a bit..... now i discover triads are close...i also find the D position in C A G E D useful sometimes, if i play myself into a corner...lol
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing. Just tools so if you don't use it... just nothing! That's why less is better! Just CAGE! Nicholas Cage!
Tomo, "thank you very much for" 😃 sharing your guitar wisdom here on RUclips. This one was fun to watch because of "Nicolas CAGE" 🤣 but also the whole video is interesting and helps to understand this dry music theory. That Ibanez is looking killer beautiful too!🎶
You're very welcome! Thank you! Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks to your inspiration, I just ordered the new Berklee Book 1 from Amazon. I'm teaching and I used to use this book back in the early 80's - 89, then I went to GIT. OMG, this is a great method and I think I still have my old book that is held together with tape! I love watching your explanations. No frills, no fancy, no marketing of guitar or gear, but just some great basic music theory explained clearly and in the true spirit of music education. Terrific!
You're very welcome! Thank you for sharing! So happy to hear that! Thank you so much!
@@TomoFujitaMusic I found my old book. Cost was 7.50. Held together with tape Copyright 1966. Does not indicate which edition, but I know it was purchased cir 1980.
That's so cool! Thank you so much for sharing! @@bradmalinowski
When I first saw the caged system, it was very confusing because of the overlapping forms. C and D, G and A for example. I eventually thought of my index finger as a capo, and it made more sense. Using your triad/inversion method vertical and horizontal on top of those cage shapes makes the most sense to me. If I fill in.the blanks on either side of the 1, 3, or 5, it’s easy to see the other scale or mode notes. I think you are an excellent guitarist and an incredible teacher! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us.
Thanks for sharing. You are a smart person. Thank you so much!
Piece of a paper , very nice . Students must love this guy .
I really don't use any diagram like those! I made them just in case...
@@TomoFujitaMusic Tomo I was making fun of your English . It's funny but good enough . Hope you're not offended .
i love make fun of myself! Thank you! @@jeffersonjcoat
Tomo!...You crack me up...but I learn. Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Caged is a small part of a very big picture. Recognizing shapes definitely helps you navigate the neck and can almost be thought of as ok we go to Yellowstone, Golden Gate Bridge, Grand Canyon, Devils Tower, etc. They are landmarks to break up your journey and give you a fond memory you will always remember on your journey and will want to revisit while navigating through those areas. Plus this is a much easier way to communicate with the student about moving chords around then say Pat Martinos Creative Diminished 7 concept charts or Chord Chemistry. lol I love your channel and hope we can cross paths one day. I was Shawn Lane's tech and student his last 8 years, AIMM Alumni where I learned directly from Jimmy Herring, Sid Wolf, Steve Freeman of course, Bill Hart, etc, and founding partner of The American Guitar Institute in Memphis. Im in Central Ohio nowadays and Im trying to build my youtube channel up to be able to monetize so that any aspiring guitarist no matter their financial situation can get quality instruction and your channel for sure provides that.
Thanks for sharing.
Awesome!
Thank you!!
Domo Tomo, rock on brother!!🤟🤟
Thank you!
The blues example at around 24:00 is KILLER❤. Stuff to work over at the weekend. (And off course, I will think of the 5 Mantras: Dont worry....)
Thanks so much, sensei.
Thank you so much! So happy to hear that!
Yet another great Video. LESS IS MORE ! I use the caged system in more of a rhythm role. I use it in song writting. I am learning all the associated scales. I agree 100% about the CAGE vrs The CAGED. IT is hard to go between the shapes playing lead at first. Too much thinking for me LOL. Like anything else you have to Pratice. That is the trick to the instrument. Pratice pratice pratice. Thank You TOMO!!!
Thank you! I like simplicity & no memorization things. So more imagination!
spot on Tomo. I have been learning my instrument for 30years as well. By the time i understood what 'CAGED' was referring to years ago, didn't really mean anything. Since I learned root/scale/triad/arpeggio first. old school. The shapes are everywhere anyway. and yes, I always thought the 'D' on the end was a trick question because it is C maj triad/arpeggio. Carry on Sir, Thanks for the affirmation of solid foundation. I'm a live musician too by the way. enjoyed the Nashville sessions recently
Thank you! Musically understanding "CAGED" is totally different know this by visually. Basically having "foundation" is so important. Triads/Scales/Arpeggios
You're very welcome! Hope this video will help more people. Awesome! Music city!
This is great !
Thank you!

Thanks so much! I taught Yoshiaki via my audio cassette tape lessons for a few years. He fixed all techniques! He can helps others now! I am so happy to hear that.

Thanks so much!
Hello,
Thank You for the video. Too much too soon for me, but I think I understand the gist. Build on the basics...learn don't memorize, take my time and stick with it . 😊
You're very welcome! Foundation is so good!
C E G on 123 set stings. X X X 5 5 3 = X X X R M3 5 ... learn them slowly without memorizing! That's root position. Then E G C on 123 set strings X X X 9 8 8 = X X X M3 5 R .. That's 1st inversion!
G C E on 123 set strings X X X 12 13 12 That's 2nd inversion. That's all you need to know first! Take your time!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thank You so much!!!
Nice approach I think if you see your root 3rd and 5th and maybe 7th you can add the 4th and 6th to complete the scale over each triad position
Thanks for sharing! Thank you!
I've been trying to learn which major chord shapes appear in each pentatonic position from the e string root note and the a string root note. (the minor and major pentatonic) It's helping me to match chord tones to the pentatonic so I'm not just noodling obvious pentatonic scales.
Thanks for sharing! Please learn triads & inversions!
That’s what I’ve been trying to map out too. Take each pentatonic position, and know how to play the triads of each chord in the chord scale in every position. I can’t say I understand it better from this. Been trying to map it out myself it’s tough, but no one online seems to have done it that I can find.
Tomo would you consider doing a video on your guitar collection? You seem to have a real players variety and I think many would enjoy hearing you talk about how you acquired them and what you like using them for in terms of styles and what not.
No I don't think so. I am not proud of myself having a lot of gears. I feel ashamed a little about this. I can talk about this in my talk video? Then I can show you a few guitars, amps, effects etc. Thank you so much! Great suggestion! I will think about it.
You have an aura that transcends guitar. I believe you could teach anything: it's how you subtly deliver more than the content of a lesson but instill hope, optimism, humility and a human vulnerability. When you took a break to sip your coffee, quite special 🤣😊
Thanks so much! I love my afternoon coffee! When I make these RUclips videos. I write my ideas on one piece of paper & I just press "ON" .. once it's on... I have only ONE chance so I try not hurry! Thanks for mentioning that part. I already totally forgot about that!
Tomo, I love your T shirt!
Thank you so much!

Yes the best players learn the instrument! I don't want to drag a ball and chain along the fretboard! Thank you Tomo really appreciate and enjoy your lessons. A little wisdom seeps into me each time.
......how does Wes Montgomery do so much with his thumb?
You're welcome! Wes's thumb is amazing!
im an old folkie and never ventured much into the dark side of lead guitar but over the years and home recording I needed to learn to play lead. I found the caged system made me find the guitar notes I needed to use for whatever song I was trying to play lead on. I teach guitar to a few and always show the system to them so they can learn the guitar and how to be flexible players. and yes triads are sweet.
Don't worry! You can learn this. You can change it. You need foundation so you can enjoy your guitar playing. Thank you!

Tomo thank you and could you please do a video on rockabilly lead guitar style for medium/advanced players?
Thank you!
Thanx I’m 61yrs old been learning acoustic about a year when I heard about (CAGED) it sounded good but looked at it like a whole other way to learn but it’s really not now I know
You're very welcome! Very young! Don't pay attention too much about it. Please learn triads! Better and effective!
... I just like before watching because you know it's going to be good content..
So now that i've watched the lesson I will try to apply chord scale over chord progression... up until now I have used the CAGED shapes to transpose further up the neck from the open position chord shapes and it opened up the fretboard for me... but that's where I have stalled out.. I can "see" the chord shapes but I can't "see" and feel the scales underneath them... yet... I will practice more.
Thank you!
I practice daily with chords, scales, and arpeggios within the CAGED framework. I practice and visualize triads within CAGED.
Thanks for sharing.
Tomo is great
Thank you!
As I understand, it's actually a Caged Sequence...just another tool to access the fingerboard.
Thanks for your brilliant insight.
