Demystifying Triads and CAGED: Unlock the fretboard and improvise freely

Рет қаралды 187,617

This video deconstructs the CAGED system and presents it using easy-to-understand animated building blocks, starting with TRIADS, adding on PENTATONIC SCALES, and finishing with the MAJOR SCALE MODES. This is everything you need to unlock the fretboard and get started improvising.

Unbelievable! For most of us who started our guitar playing journeys as beginners in the late 80s and early 90s this information would have been a godsend. Sadly I spent much of my time either noodling, watching REH videos and taking lessons from teachers who really didn't have the fretboard science knowledge themselves. Oh, how I envy young people of today who are about to start their journey into learning the guitar. Thanks you.

As someone coming from a piano background and trying to make sense of the fretboard I cannot thank you enough. This video has taught me more in 15 minutes than any other source has in the 6 months I've been attempting to learn. I really appreciate this video's focus on bridging the gap between theory and shapes as all other videos seemed to focus on the latter without really explaining why these shapes work!

Instead of mindlessly memorizing fretboard scales this makes so much more sense to me! I finally feel like this is worth my time memorizing the fretboard since it's based on a simple logic I can apply anywhere. It also helps a lot mastering a 7-string guitar. With that being said: Yeah science and SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

The only "complaint" anyone could ever have, is that you manage to pack so much information into 15 minutes, others would probably make 4 videos out of it.

Ming-bogglingly good stuff! What I love about this lesson is the layer concept, building up from roots to chord tones to pentatonics to modes. So helpful to see how all of these come together in a stack. I'm doing a deep dive on chord tones right now and already know my pentatonic shapes (and how to build them almost instantly with the rectangle and stack). After watching this video, I have a leg up now that I know how to see the chord tones within the pentatonics. Brilliant! Leaning each of the layers you show in the video may take a bit of time, but so worth it for the freedom I'm already starting to feel moving around the fretboard. Such a musical confidence boost and my playing has taken a very satisfying leap forward. Thank you for laying out this valuable information! I deeply appreciate the care and thoughtfulness you've put into each of your videos.

This really is the best, most logical way to describe and map the guitar fretboard for creating music with chords and melodies. Seeing your videos is like having my mental process explained after-the-fact . . . Now I'm going to bug you to finish the job by adding the "interval ear training part" that explains the value of your "rectangle" and "stack" visuals. When I finally became free on the fretboard, it was because I realized that, wherever a finger was resting on a "root note", I could crank out a minor pentatonic by hitting the note two frets below (a minor 7th) or three frets above (a minor third) and continuing in the pentatonic shape I already knew from hard experience. And similarly, I could play a major pentatonic by hitting the note two frets *above* the root (a major 2nd) or three frets *below* (a major 6th) and continuing in a familiar pentatonic pattern. Yes, I had to know what the right pentatonic pattern would be in order to do that. Your video is showing them to anyone who hasn't already learned them. Better yet, your "rectangle" sounds like the opening riff of "Layla" (5 - b7 - 1 - b3 - 1 - b7 - 1) and your "stack" makes the sound of Jimmy Page's fast middle riff from "Dazed and Confused" (4 - 5 - b7 - 1 - b3 - 4 - b3 - 1). Then my ear and fingers can add in all the color notes I care to do. Long comment to say a short kudo and a plea for guitar tone examples . . . cheers!

@fretscience Жыл бұрын

I left that as an exercise for the viewer 🤣 In all seriousness, I will likely do a video about how to learn how intervals sound in different contexts…it is an area that can’t really be taught directly-you have to do a fair amount of work to train yourself to associate interval names with the tonal “colors” you hear. As you can see, I have some work to do before I can explain it clearly.

Holy hell!!!!!!! I've only been playing for 2 months and the CAGED system seemed daunting until this. Thank you sooooo much

Thank you 🙏🏻 I get it, though it may take some time to wrap my mind around it fully. Seems pretty simple, and I may have to unlearn a few things. Old dog, new tricks. Also appreciate the .pdfs, and I'll be watching this video quite a few more times.

Thanks, Scott! If what you learned before is working, there’s no need to unlearn it. The best possible outcome is to have multiple mental models you can access as best fits the context 🎸🧪🤘

Greetings from the antipodes. FS is a fantastic resource for me & any budding guitarist who is looking for, & needs, this sort of quality information. It's like a community service for musicians.
