Hi Everyone,

In this third installment of my CAGED Basics series, I show the similarities and differences between the D Shape and the C shape and how they are linked together to create an awesome map of roots, thirds, and fifths. We also work through some homework together AND I show some fun examples of how to practice the surprising variety of voicings you can play to a chord progression between these two shapes.

Here is the Jam Track: A Major I IV V IV Also attached below in mp3 form.

Once you're familiar with the relationship between these two shapes, move on to the A shape.

Post your homework and questions on the community forum and please post some audio or video of your practice sessions if you find some voicings of C and D shapes that you enjoy!

Thanks for your reply. On the bottom of page 2 of the D shape pdf, you show 5 voicings for 1,3,5 of the D shape. I was hoping for the same for the other shapes. I can figure most of them out, but sometimes I just dont see it. If I missed it on the C pdf, my apology. Bill

Hi Scott, I wanted to post something on the community forum. It did work the last times. But now, if I try to login via Patreon I get a authorization error. It throws: “Authorization timed out, or you have switched browsers. Please try again.” I tried it several times. Logged off, logged in, terminated the browser but nothing seems to help logging in.
