Video Script: I started off this mini series by remarking that there have been concerted attempts by some, relatively authoritative characters in the online guitar teaching community, to knock the CAGED system and put people off learning it. Now, if you have followed these lessons so far, I hope you can appreciate that the CAGED System simply exists. If you tune a guitar to standard tuning, the layout of the notes just happens to line up with the patterns produced by the root notes of the five basic chord shapes C A G E and D. This is a fact. And it would take a very blinkered person to see it as anything but a very usable fact for anyone learning to play the guitar. All the problems surrounding the CAGED system come from the many different ways it has been taught, and from it being applied to solving the wrong problems. To give you an analogy, supposing a bunch of guys started a campaign to try and convince everyone what a useless tool a hammer was... If you'd been happily using hammers to drive home nails for more than half your lifetime, this would sound a bit strange to you so you'd take a closer look... and sure enough. You spot that they have been trying to use a hammer to drive home screws ... They've then gone on to realise that there's a much better tool for this job called...well let's just say the clue's in the name! They then go around saying what a useless tool a hammer is, and that everyone should switch to using screwdrivers instead. And because these guys have a bit of a reputation, a degree of authority established in the field, a number of people take them at their word and you end up with this situation... Well this is pretty much how I see things developing with the CAGED system at the moment. So how should you go about learning the CAGED system? Well, over thirty years of teaching this system I have honed my approach to making sure the student develops three closely related skills. First they need to be able to play the CAGED system of Octave patterns to allow them to map out all the CAGED octave patterns for any given note within a couple of seconds. So that's: play all the C notes on the guitar...play all the G# notes on the guitar then they can follow the instruction find an octave pattern for the note D at fret 7 an octave pattern for the note F at fret 5 They can also apply this backwards : play a note at random use the CAGED system to work out what that note is and where its nearest octaves are in both directions... Within a few minutes of this sort of work a student will suddenly, almost miraculously find their perception of the layout of notes on the fret board simplifying. The task of knowing all the notes on the fret board, so daunting to most newbie guitar players, suddenly becomes almost trivial with these easy drills. In the next lesson I'll continue this overview of learning the CAGED system and go on to describe the other two critical skills that go together with this one.
