I was a professor at the University of Chicago and I don't have half your skill in teaching. Remarkably clear. First time I've really understood CAGED.
I just commented exactly that on another one of his videos. I have a 9 year old kid who comes over for guitar classes and we started literally from scratch (why is the guitar made of wood, how many strings it has, etc) and now that we are moving on I am stuck in a gordian knot, not being able to present my knowledge as colorful and straightforward as Steve is doing it. But watching him teach, I got new, easy to understand ideas, how to present some theoretical stuff combined with visual show.
@@Staminist-MMF-80 I just started watching Steve's videos recently. and bought some of his course material. I have made real improvement on my knowledge and playing.
No doubt my friend. I read your connent after posting.
I will check for donate links.
I can't even begin to tell you how much joy came from understanding this. There were two lightbulb/ mind blown moments for me when I was learning this. I struggled with it for about 24 hours after my father showed me how he understands it which is a little more nebulous than its taught in videos like this. I worked out for myself that all the chord shapes follow the same sequential logic of whole and half steps as the notes on each of the strings. But when I worked out ho CAGED works, it took me about two more days, I was even trying to knit it out in a small notebook, sounding off with my friend who couldn't be less interested in this while we're both drying out sheets at the laundrette and four days later, it keeps getting clearer and clearer. This must be how physicists feel when they demonstrate physics principals in everyday life. (spoiler alert I get the jollies from seeing that as well) or how doctors feel when they make a perfect diagnosis, Its joy at its purest. I have fallen tits up for this beautiful instrument and it will stay with me as part of my life ad-eternem.
IVE BEEN PLAYING PERCUSSION SINCE 6TH GRADE & IM 28 NOW. NO PIANO TEACHER WOULD ATTEMPT TO TEACH ME GUITAR BASICS.
I’ve learned more in a month of watching these videos than I have in a 6 years of having a guitar. This is crazy
So glad to hear, Henny!
Steve
There are a number a decent lessons from various people on the 'net. (I quite like that British fellow.) But you sir are the Yoda.....the master. Thank you so much for what you bring to those of us struggling to learn the guitar.
Ohhh, and yeah, I have known about CAGED since I started guitar 5 years ago, but never understood it until know! You are phenomenal educator!
I wish that I had come across this when I was first trying to understand the CAGED system - it would have saved me about a year.
Many thanks, and I urge others to watch this and the video that it is linked to.
Clearest lesson ever on the cage system. Yes, this time it was taught clearly. Best teacher on RUclips. So very thankful.
You are most welcome!
Steve
You are a fantastic teacher indeed. With you, learning the guitar becomes a whole lot easier. Thanks Steve.
Thank you so much!
Guitarzoom
im a new player, about 6 months or so, and I like the Theory aspect of guitar, but for the life of me I could not understand the CAGED system, or find someone who could explain it in a way I could grasp it.
Till now. So easy. Steve is a remarkable teacher. Thanks
I've posted on your other videos, I'll say it again, Steve, you are very talented as a teacher. To break down what pros know to basics is truly a gift! I take my hat off to you!
Thank you so much!

Steve, you're awesome as a guitar teacher. When I first wanted to learn the CAGED , my mind was CAGED! until I came to your video. You explained and showed what it is and it so easy to understand.
You sir, are awesome! I just experienced the greatest aha moment of my life thanks to you!
So glad to hear!
Excellent! No one has ever explained moving up with same chord the way you did , thank you!!!
After watching many videos on CAGED system this is the only video that made sense to me . A big thank you .
2nd video I've watched by Steve on the CAGED system. Great stuff! Thanks Steve!
After 10 minutes I understand the caged system. You are amazing!!! Thank you!
I finally get it now. Thank you, great video!

Very cool!
Now I understand the CAGED system. Getting my fingers in those positions to play the chords cleanly is another matter! And being able to move from one chord to the other AND maintaining a strumming pattern AND play the chords cleanly??? Honestly, I don't know how I will ever get there!
It just takes practice, Brian! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! :-)

Is there a caged system for minor chords?
Yay!…I got it!!!..Well at for the key of C..!!
Fucking brilliant - this is exactly what i needed in my current guitar playing to move forward, thank you!
I like it.
Excellent lessons here! I started out learning the Modes. Is it still necessary for me to learn the CAGED system and what are the advantages?
+downhill240 The advantages are clearly visible, i suppose.
Interesting way to look at it. Do you mean 'timbre?'
Awesome I got iT 🤙
Great!
Guitarzoom
Hi Steve . I maybe wrong. But it seamed to me the root note of the bar. Where the note related to the open string note. Is the chord you are playing. I.e E shape bar chord. The bar (index finger) is over the low G gives a Equivalent G chord. Using an A shape bar chord. The note you want to play is on the 5th open string A note. So on the 3rd fret it’s a C chord. 3rd fret D shape bar chord is an F chord. Maybe I’m wrong? Cheers Brent
I have been seeing Bullet For My Valentine guitarist Paige playing guitar and wondering what the hell is he playing because his fingers where not forming familiar shapes on the guitar. Its now just downed on me that he was playing the very chords I know but using the CAGED system. Thanks so much Mr Steve Steine!!
You are most welcome, Benjamin!
Great lesson but alas my hand is too physically small to achieve this up the bar 'Cbar' to stretch over 4 frets....
show what to do when in b
Question no one answers: I have always understood connecting and moving shapes BUT there are multiple Cs using multiple shapes..how do I know which C to use? There is a bunch of them...please help
The idea of the CAGED system is to help you better understand where your notes lie on the fretboard. Don't worry about "which C you should be using". What you should keep in mind is that "the notes of a C chord can be found here... here... and here." Realizing that will help you become a better guitarist.
Why is there a gap between the g chord and the d chord but not the e?
Hi. CAGED system works just like scale positions. If you skip one of the positions you always will have a gap because there is no direct connection between the shapes. The order is always C - A - G - E - D. If you go from G to E since they are "neighbors" right next to each other you will find a connecting note (or groups of notes), however if you jump from G to D you are missing the position that the open E chord makes (G - E - D) and there are no connecting notes directly. Hope this answers your question and thanks for your comment.
Is there a way of playing the C G D shapes in another way? As said in the video they are uncomfortable to play.
Benjamin Daniel Morgan there are other ways to play those chords, he’s just explaining how to play these chords using the open shapes.
This is great, but my hand is struggling to make the shape
Have you heard of Steve's chord bouncing technique? Go here to check it out:
ruclips.net/video/dqFSWH9ldJA/видео.html
This bouncing technique helps you build muscle memory in your hands and fingers. Which means, you'll be able to make chords easier, with no hesitation. And it works with any chord shape.
Hope this helps! :-)
-- Mike from GuitarZoom
Why? What do I need several c chords for?
I’m still learning guitar to be honest, but it seems knowing alternate chord positions is useful for both playing with another guitarist where the different c chord position provides an in tune alternative to enhance the song. Also knowing the alternative chord positions is helpful for when you start lead guitar playing. Knowing the various different root note positions on your fretboard in this case c, is helpful for starting to your lead scales from.....I think !
Good answer, gooscooby! :-)
Also, even just from a rhythm perspective, it's good to know different chord positions, because different voicings of C (or any chord) sound slightly different.
So if you wanted to play a C chord that sounded hard and heavy, you could play it as a 6th string barre chord (E shape) on the 8th fret, like Steve does in the video at about 8:12. Playing just the bottom 4 strings of that barre chord gives you a complete C chord with a full, "heavy" sort of sound.
Or if you wanted to play a C chord that sounded softer, you could play one using a D shape (using the top 3 or 4 strings), like Steve does after that. That C chord is not going to sound as "heavy," and it's going to have a higher pitch as well.
It all depends on what your goals are as a guitarist. You can play songs just with basic open chords and sound great. But if you want to change things up and add more dynamic elements to your playing, it helps to know how to play the same chord in several places on your fretboard.
Hope this helps!

GuitarZoom.com Hi Guitar Zoom Team, Thanks 🙏 for getting back to me. This information is super helpful to me. I am learning but have joined a group with more accomplished musicians, my goal is to move from bass to rhythm guitar as this helps make our band a bit more flexible and interesting as sometimes not every member can make it to every practice or gig. I had sort of got pretty reasonable on acoustic guitar with the open chords as you say, but was really only duplicating what the other guitarist was doing. Your explanation here has given me a fast track, and some confidence to actually start doing some experimentation with chords in a different position. Hopefully, the rest of the band won’t sack me ! And I can master some before our next gig once this horrible Covid 19 pandemic somehow gets under control . Again thanks 🙏 and keep rocking .
okay so I get it for all the stuff there but then he gets to the D shape at the bottom and instead of using the bottom of the D shape to barre the C shape he uses the two fingers above that last note in the D shape? That has gotten me all confused
Awaesone
And I thought I understood CAGED 🙏🏻
Hi, thanks for your comment. Hope the lesson was helpful. Keep up the great work!
G shape is hard to move in fairness
Remember the root note of every shape.
