Hello friends,

And welcome to another lead guitar tutorial. In today's session, I'll be showing you the five "CAGED" positions of the A minor & major chords, and minor pentatonic scale. As covered in previous lessons, every scale can be played in five different positions, each surround one of five available voicings of a given chord. Once the chord positions and scale pattern are memorized, we'll tackle a hot lick that uses the pattern. Let's get started!

Rob, where can I find the tabs for the licks for the E minor pentatonic positions on the neck?

A really powerful lesson, Rob, especially along with the pdf. I've struggled with the CAGED concept for some time. Just to be sure, Am or A maj in the C position takes on a C chord shape although not exactly as it would fall if played in the Open position (the first 3 frets)? When you said that each Am and A maj chord in the lesson is transposed to each of the CAGED shapes, I think something clicked, assuming that I was correct. It was absolutely awesome that you combined the fret board and intervals info here too. It's starting to add up!

It seems to me like you are getting it! The basic idea is that every major and minor chord can be played in the five CAGED positions. The lowest note in the chord is it's new root. So there is a difference between saying "Cmaj chord" and "Cmaj shape." The C shape can be used to play any of the 12 major chords in existence.

Thanks for the extra help, Rob. So are CAGED positions just about the maj chord shapes in each position, not the minor shapes? Are positions then for CAGED associated with positions on the fret board, like Open position, fifth position (starting at the 5th fret), etc? I'm not quite sure I understand how "the lowest note in the chord is its new root" works in CAGED. Does that mean the new root is for a next say C maj chord moving up the neck? Sorry if I'm asking too much, but things are getting clearer because of you!

Makes a lot of sense Rob. Using the scales up and down the fretboard makes it so much easier now. Thanks so much for the presentation and there's a lot of practicing ahead. Have a great day.

Well done Rob! I am a huge fan of the CAGED system as a way to explain the logic of the fretboard. I'd love more of these - especially a simple explanation of the differences and similarities between CAGED minor and major patterns...

For me, this is the Holy Grail lesson. Thanks, Rob
