Hi Everyone,

This lesson kicks off my new CAGED System Basics series. In this overview lesson I give you a sense of what we'll be working on over the next handful of lessons in the series. Check out the PDF as well!

The following lessons will have homework sheets to help you visualize the concepts AND play along practice tracks for you to explore and experiment with using CAGED shapes in your own way!

The general idea of this series is to get you really comfortable with:

a) What the CAGED System is at it's core

b) How to get familiar with the 5 shapes

c) Playing rhythm parts up the neck AND knowing their shape names

I highly recommend you watch the Music Theory for Guitar Series before getting into this series, otherwise you might get a little lost.

While there is no homework for this overview lesson, you're welcome to post questions on the community forum and check out the Jam Track (also attached below).
