Hi Everyone,

This is it! The final CAGED Basics II lesson!

In this lesson, we start by sliding a pentatonic scale through multiple positions, talking a little about how useful this kind of thing can be for soloing. Then we move into the play-along tune. First, I play through the tune, then I walk you through the variety of shapes and finger choices for each phrase of the tune.

Download the PDF and follow along with the lesson. Use the BPM tracks below to practice the tune. Start slow and work your way up.

Play along tracks:
40BPM
50BPM
60BPM
70BPM  (good goal)
80BPM  (very nice goal)
90BPM  (wow impressive goal)
100BPM (bonus points)

Post your progress, questions, and comments to the community forum.

Hey Scott! Finally made it through all the lessons, it’s amazing how much confidence you gain knowing this stuff, thanks again! I would like to ask if you have any lesson or video that explains how to transcribe or find the Minor Pentatonics, you are showing one here but you didn’t really explain how to find them. Anything will help 🙏🏼

Question: Caged Basics II Lesson 11, Linked Scales, pages 3 and 4. What am I not seeing? The red dots for the minor scales, are they in the right places? I thought a scale was named after the root note (first note of the scale). What I see written on the page is F Minor, but red dot roots on the A flats. Also, C Minor, shows red dot roots on the E flats. Help, help me Ronda!
