First CAGED book/lesson that hasn’t had my brain in meltdown. Thanks

In all my years learning to play guitar I can confidently state that Den is easily the best guitar tutor out there. Simplification, clarification. precision & no ego trips. There is nothing more maddening when you're using tutorials online than coming across those regular tutors who wants to show off & demonstrate just how great they are on guitar & how they became so proficient by confusing you with all their complex references & mind blowing, over complicated approach to scales, minor, major, pentatonic, Aeolian, mixolydian etc etc as opposed to breaking things down in to their basic form so that you can easily understand & follow them & ultimately learn, grow & become a much better guitarist . Den is simply the best teacher out there & I highly recommend his tutorials on all aspects of guitar playing to any budding guitarists. This lesson here, that explains the CAGED system in its simplest format is testament to that. Keep up the good work Den. You're a top man.

I'm 71 and have been trying to play for a little over 2 years. This was the BEST, most understandable explanation I have ever experienced. Thanks Den!!!

I've tried to understand CAGED for over a year wolith no luck. In about 15 minutes, you made it clear as a bell. Thank you very much. Great teacher

Hands down, the simplest explanation of "CAGED" I have ever seen. Great job!

My goodness! FINALLY, someone actually can provide a simplified explanation of the caged system! At least one that I can understand it. Thank you Sir!!!!!

Without a doubt the best explanation of the "CAGED" chord system I have ever seen. Thank you very much!!!!

Dude , u something special!!!! I have been trying to make sense of caged for a long time! I finally get it!!!!! U are a fantastic teacher!!!!!!

An absolutely brilliant lesson, you are an angel. I am 79. 😢. You just got me out of the CAGED. I was locked in. Now i understand what was that all about. Thanks a lot man.

Been playing since 6th grade. I'm 53. Clearest most concise explanations I've seen. Excellent, simple explanations.

I never realised that CAGED gave the order of the shapes needed as you move your chosen chord up the neck. Thanks for the lesson

I've been trying hard to understand the CAGED SYSTEM for a while and hadn't really got a good grasp of it UNTIL NOW. YOU EXPLAINED it where It finally clicked. THANKS A MILLION!

Thank you very much for that simple and elegant presentation of the CAGED system. I have been trying to understand it for 4 years, but no luck until tonight. Excellent work Den. Keep up the fantastic lessons. Dave from Nova Scotia, Canada

The best CAGED lesson ever has been shown by tutor Den. Amazingly clear form with very simple explanation. I recommend everyone to watch this video if you are having a problem with CAGED forms or shapes!

By far the clearest explanation of what the Caged systems and how it works. Thank you.

I already knew most of what you explained about CAGED, but I had thought that the arrangement of the letters was just because it spelled something you could pronounce and remember; I had no idea that the sequence of the letters was meaningful. Thanks for that! 🙂

I was always mystified about CAGED, despite having read the theory. Your lesson made the light bulb moment. Thank you!

This is the BEST explanation of Caged system I've ever watched. Thank you!!!!

I never learned via CAGED, and I don't like how a lot of people teach music theory, either. I just learned a ton of chords and songs, and got into chord voicings that are reduced parts of the good old 5 'cowboy chord' shapes around the fretboard. But I have a geometrically oriented mind: I recognize forms and shapes in different contexts. As for music theory, what finally set me on bigger paths was realizing: you need lab courses to go along with your lecture courses. We need to apply the academic learning as soon as possible. Good luck with the channel. People seem to like it.

Easiest explanation I’ve seen yet and I’ve seen plenty. Thank you.

Wow! This is the best and clearest explanation of CAGED in the KZfaq.

Easily the best, easiest to understand explanation of CAGED I've yet to see! Awesome job

FINALLY! I have seen so many videos on this subject and was lucky if I came away with some partial glimmer of understanding. This is absolutely the best and clearest explanation I have ever watched. A sincere thank you!

Probably the best explanation I’ve seen. Still leaves me with a feed Qs…. 1. When or why would you play chords like that? They seem a nightmare to finger 2. How would you get quicker at finding those chords on the fretboards? I guess you need to know your fretboard notes first right? Superb vid though, thank you 😊

Cage system is mind boggling, it rattles your mind. This guy comes along rearrangers the alphabetical order. Incredible 👍👍👍

I already know all of this, but I still have to say that this is literally the simplest and probably most effective explanation of a CAGED system for beginners that I have ever heard. Well done.

been playing over 50 years, great video... its always good to look at things from all angles, great angle!!

Clear, precise and no ego distraction. Excellent.

this is the 1st time anyone make this caged lesson ez to understand, great job...

So glad I discovered Den, have just took up guitar in my late fifties as a hobby. This guys simple but concise way of explaining things is really easy to follow, compared to most other KZfaq guitar tutors ive watched. Thanks Den, you've got another subscriber 👍

Such a great vid w a clear explanation. I knew about “moving” shapes up the fretboard. Finally put it all together. Thanks.

This is as perfect as most an explanations of the CAGED system that is great for beginning students to the guitar. I say well done for taking the time to distil the information in this way. Over the years I have read books and watched other videos on KZfaq and have felt some explanations were either slightly complicated or not simplistic enough to fully grasp in one viewing. This video profoundly solves all of that making it ever so clear.

Excellent!!! Makes it so clear. Thanks a million.

That is by far the best explanation i have found on the CAGED system, thank you.

Well done! Concisely informative, thank you!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, for sharing this knowledge - it has made sense of so many videos that didn’t explain this as clearly as you have.

Thank you Den. This is the first explanation that makes me understand the CAGED system!!!!🙏🏽🥳👏🏼

Best CAGED explanation I’ve seen. Nice work. Thanks!

Just excellent tutorial. You definitely made it all come together by breaking this down by using simple and logical explanation. Thank you so much.

Best video that I have ever watched on the CAGED system and how it works.

ohh now the barre chord makes more sense! and the video isn't even over!! You make things simple to follow thanks!

I watched this video late last night and when I picked up my guitar this morning to try it, it made perfect sense. THANK YOU ❤

This video added the final piece to me understanding the caged system, thanks so much!

Once again no one every explained the CAGED Shapes so clearly as you did. It clarifies to me how CAGED System funtions. Above all you showed so nicely how the chords look like. I admit that I have moved one step ahead with your lesson. Your are truely a good teacher.

Very great lesson. Finally clear to me

Outstanding explanation of the caged system,simple explanation for this student of the guitar to understand.Cut through the smoke and mirrors associated with sometimes confusing presentations of the past one has indured.

The best CAGED lesson ever has been. Thank you

Very good explanation. The best on KZfaq so far. Thank you very much for this 👍

For me, this was a wonderful explanation of the CAGED system. Working with what was said and knowing the basic chord shapes is a gateway to understanding where to find chords and what shapes to use. Bravo!

That was excellent, now I just need to watch it a few more times, and maybe my old brain might maintain this great explanation. Thanks

Very well explained, and easy to follow. Thank You!!

Enjoyed the lesson. Straight to the point and explained very well.

The last 2 minutes were worth watching the rest. I have watched Molly Millers video repeatedly and finally seeing how the root notes connect the shapes ( with the barre ) But never understood how to use for other keys- starting with a chord other than the C chord. Thank you. 😊

sir..u r absolutely amazing....ive listened to a lot of caged teachings.. but only understand it now.. thank u

Thank you much for your explanation, in after all these years I finally comprehend what the caged system is all about 🙏

Clear, concise and simple. Thank you!

Outstanding. You have earned yourself a special place in guitar Heaven.

Loved it - thank you, now to practice it!

Nailed it. Thank you!

Sooooooooo good. How come nobody else can make this so easy?! You are the best. Just such a brilliant teacher.

This is awesome Den!!! Thanks !!!

Thanks, great explanation. Now to try to implement it in my playing.

Ive been playing for a long time.. You literally just exposed the biggest enigma in guitar playing. Mind blown 🤯 Thank you!

Excellent lesson!!

I'm never around anyone and I've used KZfaq to teach myself how to play guitar and one of my questions has been how do I play different chords all across the fret board. This has helped me more than any other video I've found. Thank you for making It simple. Most people that teach just like to show how good they are and that leaves me thinking I can't do It but you showed me I can.. Thanks a million.

Fantastic and easy!

THIS IS COOL! After so many years…..knew some of this but this is CLEARLY explained! Thank you Den

Great video! Very helpful

A brilliant video. First time I've understood the CAGED System. Well Done. Paul Lucas.

Very, very, very good explanation!

It took me 60% of this lesson to figure out these (the caged system) are what was called 'movable chords' back 40 years ago. I do this all the time, but I never heard this term till recently, so I came to see what all the confusion was about. Thank goodness for this teacher. It was very understandable.

Perfect explanation of the C A G E D system that I actually understood. Thank you Den!

That was a great tutorial. Thumbs up

Brilliant! Thank you!

CAGED susrem is new to me and your teaching was very clear. Thanks!

This has made it all make sense!

very good mate , the content and ease of understanding is worth 10000 likes or more , cheers man

These KZfaq guitar teachers are gonna put a contract/hit on you! They tortured and confused us 60 and over beginners for years! Thank you Thank you! I just subscribed! Again thank you

Keep it simple - well done

Well done, even I was able to get this, thanks!

Hi, I am 61 and learning and found your explanation easier to understand the caged system.... thanks

I never realized this was the sequence of shapes. Very helpful!

Fantastic lesson and gave me my eureka moment. Thank you for sharing

Best explination for the CAGED System

Fantastic, thanks.

Very useful, thanks!

Great explanation.

Was just thinking when you will do this vid. Well done

I knew this about caged system but enjoyed watching you teach this clearly and it helped a lot of fellow guitarists. Next is to show the pentatonic scale patterns that go with each shape. Good stuff! Subbed.

As a teacher you're a natural, great explanation of CAGED.

That was absolutely beautiful and brilliant! Thank You very much, new subscriber!❤

This is the best explanation of CAGED i have come across, please make more videos expanding on these ideas (if you haven't already), subscribed!
