This is a great lesson. Nothing else on KZfaq I could find explained it so simply, the graphics were great too!

When you said "try to get from tonic to tonic" it clicked for me. It gave me a target. I had been trying to get from caged shape to shape with scales. This is a great approach.

One of the best pictures of the caged system I've seen. Thanks

Excellent lesson. This shows how CAGED and the scale are associated so helps tremendously with soloing. Thanks!

WOW! You made the CAGED system so simple. Thank you. Can't wait for more lessons.

Learning the major scales with CAGED finally clicked into my neuro system with your systematic tutorial. Thank you very much, as well as to You Tube.

Concise,instructive,visionary,simple,critical concepts... Thanks

That was a good explanation of caged...The only one I understood so far....Thank You

Who needs Berklee when we have youtube! Thank you sir!

Excellent explanation of the Caged system. Well done. Thanks.

One of the best explanations for the CAGED system. Many thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge!!! :)

Thanks. I am trying to learn scales. I was so bogged down down in the details that I did not see the bigger picture ... until visiting your helpful overview. God material, well presented. Thanks!

that made more since than the last 25 videos I have watched on the CAGED system - Thank you

added to my favorites...now I have a better understanding of the system. need to practice a lot more though. thanks, Adam! You rock!

Incredibly helpful. Never fully understood CAGED before this. Thank you!

I will follow your lessons and rock on....pickin up my dusty electric guitar again!!!! Thanks a million!

Starting to figure it out. Thanks to your video, and others, it’s starting to make some sense. But you have explained well the Scale Patterns built around the CAGED system. Thanks!

Thanks Adam - A good explanation, clear and concise

Jeez that’s the first time I understood the CAGED system! Thanks

Makes perfect sense if you have some previous theory knowledge. I followed this and it all made good sense, but I can see how others might struggle with no background in how keys and scales are constructed.

Wowww sir it's fantastic information Thank you so much

Dude this is the best way to ever explain this scary path to this level.....

Brilliantly explained! Thanks.

Beautifully explained - Thanks!

This one did for me!, thanks for the clarifying animations!

Very useful... thanks for the help... greatly appreciated.

Thank you for this! such a simple break down.

thank you for a great lesson!

Best explanation - thank you! demystified !

Interesting perspective here!

Zabardast cheers from Toronto....

Wow, love the visual diagrams! It would really hit home to actually hear a note or 2 played along with some of the visuals. But then again, I don't have my guitar with me as I write this. Oh well. Thanks for the lesson!

Excellent vid. Thanks

wow! best explanation ever!

outstanding explanation...I thank you.

The biggest reason people complain about not understanding any of this is because the dont take the time to start from the beginning then to this music theory is like a big book you need to read beginning to end you wouldn't start a book half way expecting to get the bigger picture and understanding of the end and conclusion would you? So do your research we live in a digital advanced age of endless free knowledge! I already understand this system along with 3nps as well I think the visual display and pictograms was very useful as a visual aide to further demonstrate the magic of the caged system and its layers excellent video!! :)

Nice job, thanks.

Educative a lot. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the lesson! ... 🎸🤘 ...

Excellent. Thanks.

awesome explanation

💜💜💜 thank you finally I got it!!!

Great explanation thanks

Thank you!

Exceptional!

Love you man✌️

wonderful

Thank you.

Nice explanation, but I felt you rushed at the end of video, I can see how people could get confused if they don't understand the concepts. If you can learn it though, it's the best way to learn the guitar. Once you realise the pentatonic shapes are just a slightly reduced major / minor scale, it will start to click. .

Thank You very much! I am from Ukraine :) God bless You!

Hats off!!

Genius video

Better than lesson vids with 10x the views

Thanks man really helped a lot !!!

Thanks

Never knew what a major and c major actually looked like.

What APP do you uses for pointing the guitar fret???

Great demo - very enlightening .. thx !! Can u tell me what software you use to make such a smooth graphics ?

Hi all. just noticed a mistake with the fret board notes at fret 15, A_b

i love you adam long

I'm still confused. Where should I start learning before this vid?

I need to watch this multiple times over. I just don't get it. That's why I'm shit at guitar.

Good explaining and detail I like your tutorial and you tutored with theory and practice, i ask you teach slowly not too quick that i know the method, i am a guitar beginner Ok my good friend thank you much Lord Jesus bless you hallelujah 🙏😊👌

This is hard to understand.

The light bulb almost turned on. I believe I'll get it after a few more views. Thank you.

What exactly is the caged system?

I been playing 16 months ...and this was missing it took 4.23 to click....thank u..i think people leave one thing out of everything to confuse

is the fretboard a program or is it something you created?

This guy took a great concept that can be confusing and made it way more confusing. Watch Guthrie Trapp's videos the CAGED system is great changed my playing completely. You do need to know some theory not for pure beginners

Wait, WHAT!?

what did santa claus say when he was learning the major scale? WHOLE WHOLE WHOLE! ok, hold ur applause.

Think I’m gonna stick to playing those first chords you learn when you start playing guitar....

Nice video content! Apologies for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you considered - Riddleagan Blossoming Solo Remedy (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great exclusive guide for mastering guitar scales without the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy at very last got cool success with it.

I had u until u added all the grey notes

I am watching billions of caged videos over and over again but still can't grasp the actual tiny tiny details missing that would make me understand it fully. How am i supposed to "see" a shape when playing a scale and changing fingerings? (I am a pianist and I know the theory but...it just doesn't click here)

hirap

I almost understood, but I didn't at all.

Why is this so difficult to understand

Beginner guitarist .. Please don't look at this and be overwhelmed....it is the way its being presented that is confusing.... No disrespect to the author... the effort is appreciated.... but it can be explained in a more defined structured manner.... in spite of that.... the caged system will open up understanding of the guitar.....look for other teachings.... Desi Serna would be a great teacher to learn it from....

Confusing as ever..didnt click for me
