It takes 10 minutes to learn the "CAGED Pathway", whatever the fook that means. LOL! It's 5 shapes and 5 corresponding scale shapes. That's it. For free. The end.
@@KarlKarsnark how about minor, triads, and arpeggios? 🤔😁
Very cool guitar lesson to start with, I was a bit confused, though I really like the way you played slow and chilled out
You lost me four minutes in. Roots?
Finally someone who uses the correct camera angle for looking at the guitar neck
🙌
Agreed. And the bright nail varnish makes it real easy to see where her fingers are placed.
It’s the best view but that twist hurts my wrist just looking at it 😅
Not if you are left handed. 😒
so true, makes a big difference.
This is the best explanation of caged that I have seen. Well done.
Glad it was helpful!
Definitely I got that in minutes. Cool-thanks. Followed.
I've always wanted to learn guitar but never really knew where to start so I'm going to look at CAGED and just now I picked up a guitar and just started shredding this kick ass solo out of nowhere.
The first 50 seconds already helped me understand caged so much better than all the other times I've touched on it.
That's awesome! 👏
THIS?! THIS IS THE CAGED SYSTEM THAT KEEPS POPPING UP ON MY RUclips ALL THESE YEARS?! 😱 Been doing this forever. Didn't know it was the GAGED system. Good to know. Thanks!
Same thing here hahaha! Can"t believe that's what it is
Thanks for watching! Glad we could help demystify it! 🤘
i bet you have heard " one-and-to-the-three-and-then-a-one-and-to-the-three" at least if you are into bepop you have. Anyways, the funniest way to learn the notes is to used scales/modes and play the scale you are in on every place you can on the neck, easy peace, my fav being A and Dm, they are as married as it gets :;P
Same! 😂 ❤
Doesn't Dr Molly do an outstanding job at summarizing this defined system to help beginners see with clarity??
Good Lord. I’ve taken online lessons (Tim Pierce/Paul Davids) and while I still love them, I got more out of the first 3 1/2 mins of this on understanding CAGED than my previous 35 years of playing 😭
That's great! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching! 🤘
the first 30 seconds of this video made me understand the concept entirely, outrageously good lesson. TOP NOTCH
Same.
Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful. Cheers! 🤘
Best ever CAGED explanation with easily understandable graphics. 😇
This course alone changed my guitar playing and elevated to a point where I can confidently say "I can play guitar" and not just strum a few chords. Thank you, Molly. From the bottom of my heart.
That's awesome! Congrats and keep at it! 💪
Yes ! Excellent Demo.
Luv Her Confidence,
Color Cordination On The
Fretboard And Fingernail Polish. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙂.
Thank You ! 💞
I have to agree with everyone else, I been learning just over a year, and know the CAGED system is important, but have not seen anyone else actually explain so clearly how it works and how it can be used - Thanks very much
Thanks for watching! 🤘
The CAGED system is not important at all. It can help you with understanding the fretboard, but so can the pentatonic scale and its five shapes, or any approach to learning. It's somewhat overstated, here and elsewhere;
I've been playing for 14 years now and keep trying to break through to music theory and understanding the neck more, this video helped a lot thanks!
Rock on! Glad it was helpful! 🤘
the best, most comprehensive tutorial i've seen on the topic, amazing, congrats and thank you!! :))
Best explanation of CAGED I have seen here on the tube and finally understand it!
Nice! Thanks for watching! 🤘
Took her CAGED course awhile back. Really really good! Very approachable and made learning it really easy.
I’ve heard “CAGED” a million times, and understood what it meant - but I didn’t realize why the letters were in that order, and that they all connect! That opening diagram makes so much sense! I had memorized a few of the boxes for soloing in only a few keys, but this is very helpful.
They are in this order because they create a mnemonic device. You could arrange them in a different order and still connect them. That's because they obviously share the same roots, thirds and fifths.
Been playing for 40+ years, mostly self taught. I've heard of the CAGED system so I thought I'd see what it was. It's just a catchy name for 'You still gotta memorize the fretboard, Padwan'.
Shocked by her easy approach / explaination! So great class!
Best explanation I have seen in studying CAGED for three years! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I really like this presentation; simple, professional, and clear.
Glad you liked it!
The explanation is very clear. When the guitarist has understood this mechanism well, he can begin to develop the ability to improvise in any style. You are a good teacher 🎸
This was great, you're great. Thank you for this video!
I have been working on the CAGED system for a few months now and this video has really helped me understand it so much better! Thank you for sharing!
Great to hear! Keep up the good work! 💪
Dr Molly is such an incredible teacher.
This summary is OUTSTANDING.
Well done Dr. Molly.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks a lot for this video! Most clear explanation I have ever seen on CAGED!
The most concise and helpful lesson. Brilliant work.
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching! 🤘
Excellent! It’s the clearest and most visual tutorial I found on caged system. Thank you very much 👍🙂
Nice! Glad it was helpful! Cheers! 🤘
Best part of this is all the time/space Molly leaves between shapes that you have to count! One of the best things to learn early is that space is as or more important than what you play and she explains the CAGED system so well while teaching that too! 🙂
Agreed! Space goes a long way for feel and musicality. Thanks for watching! 🤘
Its true! When I play guitar my girlfriends favorite parts are the spaces between my playing.
This was an amazing tutorial. Wow. Guitar is not my main focus at the moment but if it becomes so I will be opening up my wallet for this immediately. Great job
The way you explained this blew my mind
That's what we're here for 🤯
Thanks for a good caged visualization how they are connected in the guitar fretboard.
Sure thing!
i am going to try this with your lesson . you have made it the most clear to me so far.
Awesome! 💪
I already pay for several guitar courses, but, I love how well this is done and how clear she is in explaining. I think I might need to sign up for awhile.
Our course with Molly has been a gamechanger for a lot of guitarists! Also, we have a 60-day moneyback guarantee if you're not satisfied with the lessons :)
This was done very well! She even changed her fingernail colors to help visualize the exercises better. 😍👍
Been playing the guitar for 12 years, first time I actually understood caged. Kudos.
Thanks so much! 😁
Thanks a lot. I see a lot of video on RUclips but with this one I undestand everything :) thank you 👍👍👍
Glad it helped! 🤘
Dr. Molly that was an excellent teaching about the CAGED system I invented.
Please, let me explain. Before all the good guitar teaching was available on the internet I was struggling to figure out (on my own, no teacher or videos or books) how to play more than just the basic open chords I new. I knew about being able to use the E form to make other chords as I moved it along the neck. So it made me wonder if other chords were also 'moveable.' So, on my own, I discovered that the C, A, G and D chords were also moveable.
I think the order in which I discovered them was E, A, D, C and G.
I tried to think of a word those letters would spell so it would help me remember them
and so I invented C-A-G-E-D.
Now here is the funny part. I did not know this system already existed! So as far as I knew I was the only person in the world who knew it! It was like I had discovered the Grand Canyon thinking I was the only person who had ever seen it. I thought to myself - I have got to share this with the world! Of couse, later on I learned that it was nothing new.
I was disappointed but in a way I did invent it - at least for myself!
You might say I was a co-inventor of the CAGED system and the others did so unknown to me and before my time.
Yes! CAGED is all there on the fretboard ready to discover. Sounds like you were on the right track ahead of curb! 🤘
Thanks for explaining it very well.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Really easy to follow. Thanks🙏🏾
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing. Great place to start. This will help a lot of people.
Thanks for saying so and thanks for watching!
I"ve watched dozens of videos on the CAGED system. Maybe I've heard it enough that it's starting to make sense, but this is the best by far.
High praise! Thanks for watching! 🤘
I took lessons 10 years ago and they never explained what the caged system was. They weren't the best lessons. This is great. Thanks.
The missing link debunked! Thanks for watching 🤘
I finally get it, your excellent graphics made it very clear.
Great to hear! 🤘
I loved this lesson. Thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
I'm a slow learner. I always have to put in double the effort inorder to learn anything. Because of this I lose confidence, get frustrated and many times say f**k it all. Mollies way of explaining and showing things has given me confidence. For once I'm starting to feel like I can do this.
🎉
This is a fantastic way to teach this! Perfect view!
Thank you! Cheers!
Finally! Best explanation I’ve seen. Well-scripted and beautiful animations. 🤘🏻
Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching!
This is THE best instructional video EVER ! … helps me with my drive to practice
Thanks!
Don’t know why, I’m teaching guitar myself, but I never realised what 'CAGED' just stands for. Figured this system out myself over time but your explanation is so to the point, it took the first few seconds and I understood everything perfectly. Thanks big time!
Awesome! Glad you found us on your CAGED journey! 🤘
Great info on merging the shapes, thanks so much!
Thanks for checking it out! 🤘
I hope I get it now. This video is as clear as it can get. Thanks!
🙏 Glad it was helpful!
Just learn bass... you can transfer what you learn on the bass to the guitar and extend it. I started teaching my self bass September 2023, spent a lot of hours, and joined a semester on a music school to learn music theory and more about modes, and that helped me level up on guitar, even though i have parked my guitar 10 years before i recently bought 2 guitars and my level up happened some days ago, my teacher from the semester taught me some valuable music theory which was as if he gave me these keys to a lot of the boxes in my head that has been marked with question mark because i didn't understand the theory behind it until i learned it. Never read notes either, but now i can read basic notes too.
The only scale/mode i knew on guitar before was blues scale and now i know dorian, ionian, locrian, pentatonic , mixolydian, bass, and 1 kinda advanced beepop scale that only works on shift and only if you time it right. :)
This what you say in this video is probably a very good tool for alot of beginners, but i rather this to a beginner, in order to make it easier for your self, do the dry stuff first, print out a sheet of a neck, start with the E string, and learn where the notes are on the neck, and how B always right next to C, same goes for E always followed by F. In norway they dont have Bb, but they have H... this is so confusing so i stick to Bb and B and here is a fun fact Bsharp and C.... the same ptich, and that means its also the exact same tone, so for me, B sharp doesnt excist!
Thank you so much
Gracias primera vez que entiendo este sistema. Muy buena explicación gráfica. Y eres muy Hermosa!
Awesome job thank you!!
😁😁😁
100% THE best lesson on caged on the entire web!
Im def trying the 14 days🎸🎶🔥
Awesome! Come join the Pickup Music fam! 🤘
That neck sounds good without being plug, I can feel the quality…very nice instrument 🎼✌️🎼
Great video Molly!!! YOU ROCK❤
🤘
The first part of this video is a great explanation. I've seen a lot of CAGED videos because transitioning keys mid-improv has always been my single weakest thing as a guitarist. I'm getting better, but it's about 20 years too late lol
Thanks for watching!
Outstanding!
Thank you! Cheers!
Molly is the ultimate ripper! I’m your biggest fan 🧝🏻
She shreds!
The beat and branding is really cool! Also the quality of the videos
Thanks so much! 🙏
Lovely! Outstanding! And approachable. This lesson just feels good. It’s like I don’t feel I got Beato up afterwards!
Thanks so much! Glad it was a help!
My nine-year-old daughter can somehow learn any instrument or any music concept with little effort. The only thing needed is interest. She’s been taking vocal lessons since she’s four and performing live as well. Somehow, she has no interest in her dad‘s main instrument, guitar. Having a strong female role model for young girls, like yourself, is so refreshing and inspiring that I set an Alexa reminder for “guitar lessons with dad” tomorrow with a reward of 30 minutes of Roblox or RUclips. I’m going to print out a couple of chord shapes and…guitars in hand…watch your video. I’ll give her the remote, let her pause and ask questions, and see where it goes. Thank you for inspiring me. I wish there were beginner videos from someone like yourself pacifically aimed a young girls.
Representation matters! 🤘 Best of luck with your guitar lessons tomorrow! 🎸
yeah! ty!
love the exercises!
Glad you like them!
The Doctor is an exceptional educator: clear, thorough, succinct, and encouraging. Great.
Plus, that MM is wicked. Just got a Cutlass though I won’t be playing it as well as does Dr. Molly. Still, makes me feel a bit less guilty with the purchase.
Thanks for watching! Molly is one of the best. Congrats on the new axe! 🎸
Pretty good... cheers from Canada...
Very useful and informative
thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
...well explained Molly, thankyou
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Wow this was a fantastic lesson!
Thanks! 😃
this was very well explained.
Thanks! Cheers! 🤘
first time I understand the caged system in less a minute, Kudo to you Dr. Molly Miller
Cheers! Thanks for checking it out! 🤘
Of all the CAGED system video courses I've watched, this is the best so far and gave me a better understand too!
Great to hear! 🤘 Thanks for check it out
Best caged explanation ever, with excellent visuals 🤙🏼
Much appreciated!
Can we talk about that sick custom Music Man Albert Lee MM90? 😍
Nice explanation just like one on one session to remind the scale and chords didn’t went fast like other people on youtube explained very nicely.
We have more improvisation focused lessons on our full site! 🤘
I've never seen or noticed this about these chords. Great stuff
Many thanks! 🤘
The best lesson ever
The energy we're here for! 🤘
Brilliant 🙏❤️
this is pretty awesome! just curious what about learning this for other scales? eg. minor harmonic, melodic minor, diminished, is there other acronyms or such to utilize?
This Doc rocks❤
Agreed!
Great explanation! For anyone that is reading this, I am a professional guitar teacher and I think the CAGED system can be very effective for some people. However, in my years of teaching I found that my students benefit much more from the "five positions" system found in Barrett Tagliarino's book "Guitar Fretboard Workbook." Like anything, it is best to work through with a teacher that is already familiar with the "five positions" system.
Nice try, Barrett Tagliarino
@@Weeela 🤣🤣I wish! Just some advice from an experienced teacher. With that being said, different methods work for different people.
Agreed!! Finding the right method is important and unique to each player 🤘
Excellent vid! Is there something similar on understanding the patterns for the root notes of any scale?
Dope !
The Doctor is a Queen.
Agreed! 👑
Nicely done 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great explanation , excellent looking guitar
🤘
I do play that “G shape” up the neck in real life. Just use your pinky for the root, bar 1 & 1/2 step down. ring finger plays 3 on the A string and middle finger can play 4 on the B string for the suspension if needed and then ring finger can come down to the D string to make “C/G shape” inversion. You can even just hammer both of those on from the “open” position (muting the B string in that case).
The best! ✨
🙏
Amazing teacher
🙏
That guitar is sick! Ima get one!
🤘🎸
Excellent video. I already knew about the CAGED system but never really did any exercises with it to internalize the fretboard. Thanks... BTW, I got a little confused when the nail polish colour changed at 5:18. :-)
Glad it was helpful!
YOU JUST BLEW MY FREAKING MIND
🤯🤘
Know the root. I bet a lot of people like this video. Pretty good explanation. Simply put, know the root.
The root is the root of it all 🤘🤯
This is a ridiculously good explanation. 👌 And I hope for some it helps put a face to the name, so to say.. because you’ve probably been doing this for a long time and never knew. 🔥 👏
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. Yes! These shapes show up often but good to have a knowledge of the why and how 🤘
Dr. Miller, thank you for the info, But I have to say,.. That guitar is beautiful! Can't wait to hear you play it in a new video. Some model info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.😎
I know you would rather hear from the doctor, but that axe is a Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass SSS It will run you about $2000 out the door. Really nice instrument.
@@gotruut9145 Thanks friend.
I’m with you, that is one cool looking guitar and every Ernie Ball I’ve ever picked up has an incredible neck! Now I have something new to lust after! 4K here in Australia though 😳
@@gotruut9145I don’t think it’s a Cutless sss. That’s a different shape and has 3 single coils. This is an Albert Lee with 3 P90s.
It says Albert Lee on the headstock, so I guess…..
After hearing and thinking i understood the caged system for a decade ,why is this the first time i heard mention how the shapes and order create a C up the neck ? Lol …this makes it actually useful 😂 ..all these years wondering and she explained in the first 45 seconds what 100’s of other caged lessons never mention 🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️😜✌️👍🏼🤘🏼
Glad you found us! Thanks for watching and happy we could clear that up! 🤘
can you also tell which strings and frets to push because for me it's still to difficult to get them all
C and A shape its string 1-5
G and E shape its all 6 strings
D shape its strings 1-4
