The CAGED system isn't just another theory concept. It's a powerful tool that helps you visualize and navigate the entire fretboard, opening doors for more creative and expressive solos.

Here's why CAGED is a game-changer:

Effortless Fretboard Knowledge: CAGED reveals the connections between common chord shapes (C, A, G, E, D) and the major scale across the fretboard. This makes it easier to find the notes you want, anywhere on the neck.

Multiple Soloing Options: Instead of being stuck in one position, CAGED gives you five unique "fingerboard maps" to explore for soloing. You'll have a wider range of melodic possibilities at your fingertips.

Hidden Gems: You might already be using CAGED without realizing it! Many beginner chords like open C, A, and G are part of the CAGED system. Now you can unlock their full potential for soloing.

CAGED empowers you to move beyond pentatonic boxes and take your soloing to the next level. It's an investment in your guitar skills that will pay off...

The CAGED System is arguably the most comprehensive method for memorizing and comprehending the guitar's fretboard.

Many people believe the CAGED system is solely for memorizing scales across the fretboard, but it encompasses much more.

By studying CAGED, you'll discover that everything begins with the five most common chord shapes: C, A, G, E, and D. These shapes serve as jumping-off points to explore everything you need to know on guitar:

All kinds of chords: Major, minor, seventh, diminished, and more. Arpeggios: Broken chords that add melodic and harmonic possibilities. Pentatonic scales: Essential building blocks for improvisation and soloing. Scales: Major, minor, blues, and exotic scales for diverse musical styles.

In essence, CAGED unlocks the entire fretboard, empowering you to navigate it with confidence and creativity.

In a recent video, I posted a lesson on the CAGED system, and a viewer commented that it was the first time he had been able to understand the system, even though he is over 40.

The CAGED system is a way to learn the guitar fretboard by visualizing five open chord shapes (C, A, G, E, and D) and their movable counterparts up and down the neck. This system can be very helpful for understanding how to play chords, scales, and arpeggios all over the fretboard.

Some people believe that learning the CAGED system is a shortcut to mastering the guitar fretboard. While this is not entirely true, the CAGED system can be a valuable tool for guitarists of all ages and skill levels.

**Why the CAGED System is Great for Over-40 Guitarists**

One of the best things about the CAGED system is that it is very visual. This can be especially helpful for over-40 guitarists, who may have difficulty memorizing complex fretboard patterns.

Another great thing about the CAGED system is that it is very...

If you play the guitar and already use the pentatonic scale, as well as the major/minor scales, you may have noticed that something is missing in your solos. There's another step you can take to elevate your solos to the next level: soloing by chord.

When soloing, we tend to think about the key of the song, match the scale we need to use, and off we go. However, the problem is that the chords keep changing from one to the next, while we continue to focus solely on the main key we are in. As a result, our solos can become disconnected from the song, and we stop making music.

In this video, you will learn how to address this issue in a very simple way. You will learn how to break free from the common trap that every guitar player struggles with, and you'll start making music again.

Have you ever wondered how to connect the chords with scales and pentatonics? How to connect chords, scales and pentatonic all together and at the same time, at once? When we learn these things, we learn them all as separate things, disconnected to one another. And to be able to visualize and connect these things may take you many years.

However, in this video you will be able to shortcut the process. I’ll show you how you can have the cords connected to the scales and pentatonic all together.

This is more than just a theory about it. You will be able to start using this knowledge right away. This is one of the main things every lead guitarist needs to know to be able to lead like a pro.

What really are the skills someone needs to master in order to become a real lead guitarist?

A real lead guitarist is him who can play guitar in any genre, any key, can play rhythm, create layers of guitars, cut through the mix. And can also solo and improvise in any genre, tell a story when soloing, connect to the listener.

In this video you will learn the most effective way to layer guitar, create lead lines, create different textures and dynamics using a very simple concept of the Power Chords. You’ll connect the notes and shapes of chords, opening your options in an almost endless way.

In this lesson you will learn what THE MAIN CHORDS you need to learn on guitar.

This is the introduction of the CAGED system, and it can be the beginning of a big transformation for your guitar playing.

Learn how the chords are connected throughout the fretboard of your guitar, together with the Pentatonic and the major scale.

Do you know how to play Amaj7? What about A7, Am7, Am7(b5) or Adim7?

In this lesson you will learn how to play any of these chords and more, using the knowledge that you already have. The truth is that, if you know the 5 shapes we use all the time (CAGED) you can play any kind of chord imaginable.

So grab your guitar and follow me because you're about to have a "light bulb" experience.

Again, you're welcome. :)

A lot of us guitarists, are very limited when it comes to playing rhythm guitar, especially regarding chords. We learn a few basic shapes, some bar chords and power chords and that's it.

In this video I will show you my favourite ways to play chords and how when you can make rhythm guitar fun, interesting and dynamic.

Have you been playing guitar for a while and you still struggle when it comes to finding the notes on the fretboard? Know this: YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

How to learn all the notes on the fretboard? 

It seams almost impossible, right? And I'll tell you that, if you don't understand the ergonomics of the guitar, how it is build and how to use it in our favour, knowing all the notes on the guitar can be quite overwhelming.

In this lesson I'll show you the most simple and logical way to finally know all the notes on the fretboard of your guitar.

Well, you don't need more music theory, right? For that reason, I will also show you how you can start implementing the concept of the CAGED System into your playing right away.
