Hi Everyone,

In this final installment of the CAGED Basics Series, we're back to the beginning examining the share zone between the E shape and D shape. We discuss how all these CAGED Shapes are the only available triads on the fingerboard, and explore the vast variety of ways to approach interesting voicings.

The homework helps hammer this fact in, and the practice sections open you up to the whole fingerboard, exploring different ways to actually play with the CAGED System. 

While this is the final installment of the series, I'm planning to build on this foundation with future CAGED System lessons that continue to really dig into useful, practical ways to use this cool system to get to know the fingerboard, get to know music theory, and achieve more fingerboard freedom in your own creations.

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

Congratulations! You've completed the CAGED System Basics course.

Post your homework, experiments, questions and whatever else you'd like related to this series on the community forum.  I'd especially like to hear the voicings you have grown to love, or the different sets you enjoy jumping between! Share your findings with the community!

Woah! How did I miss this comment from ten months ago! Thank you so much. How are things going now, ten months later?

Hello Scott - I have just completed the CAGED Basics series. This is a real eye opener in terms of how to interact with the fretboard! While I have a good theoretical understanding of what is going on, before I move onto CAGED Basics II and CAGED Soloing, I'm thinking that I need to spend some serious practice time getting this into muscle memory. I was wondering if you could recommend any drills and exercises that I can use to get this into muscle memory?

Hi Tony. You'll likely never perfectly equally memorize and be comfortable playing every permutation of each shape. I'd use the practice sections of these lessons until they are very comfortable, then I'd try out jam tracks like my SPJ Jam Track Channel on youtube. With those jam tracks, you can practice making up your own rhythm parts using partial CAGED shapes. Mix it up, coming up with new ones every couple minutes. Eventually, you'll be able to improvise this concept.

Hey Scott, I've studied all your Youtube Videos and after it felt like I cannot improve as much as I would like to. I heard alot of guitar music and suddendly had more motivation. This month I decided to try your patreon and Im glad I did. I am at the beginning but I am learning a lot. You help alot of people. Thank you for your content and your support on my guitar journey! :)
