- Hey, friends!
Happy Saturday to you and I hope you’re all doing great out there.
Here’s a little insight to some of the less talked about benefits of the famous CAGED system.
It’s not new and it’s not going anywhere. It’s simply the way the fretboard is laid out on the guitar.
Hand position and triad voicings are the two main components that I see as the most important.
Have fun with it all!

We are so privileged to have the luxury of just opening a web browser and have the likes of Guthrie Trapp, Rick Beato, Uncle Larry, Jimmy Bruno, Ford Thurston etc etc, right there on tap, these guys are our influences these days. Constant great, great content!! who needs TV!!
❤Skool,! Love ALL those you just mentioned, and Jimmy Bruno, I love him
@@SeeCSeesCC Jimmy is a treasure, he also nails down the importance of learning the 5 major scale shapes, all you have to do is accept the hard work you must put in with this stuff, it takes time and patience, we MUST listen to these guys, they are who they are for a reason.
@@DanRussellGuitar I sure couldn’t agree more I love the way he operates to Jimmy Bruno. He is no pretense. I’ve been listening to Guthrie for a long time same with Jed and Rick Beato, but I got to say unequivocably Tom is my favorite of all time. i’m flying to Nashville in a few days to attend the record release party for he and Guthrie. I’m so so so so excited.❤️
@@SeeCSeesCC Just watched your video of young Jack watching Uncle Larry 🙂
@@DanRussellGuitar ❤️ that’s right. He knows Tom. There’s a couple videos of him loving blues in G, his favorite tune,
This guy is the real deal, no bullshit just guitar skills for days and down to earth sharing his knowledge.
Thanks a bunch man! Means a lot to me and all my buddies on here as well. 👍🎶😎
I’m in rural Iowa and picked up the guitar about 30 years ago. In 2021, my dad retired and always had wanted to play guitar. I have taught what I can. He plays every day and loves it - 76 years old. Teaching helped me improve but showed how I need to or can improve. I have decided to start your online course since I play around an hour a day and want to use the time constructively - and your CZcams videos have shown me that you have the combination of fundamentals, knowledge, experience and understanding that makes a great teacher. You are a hell of a guitarist, but you may be an even better teacher - you have the calling to teach. Few can say that but everyone remembers their favorite teacher - it’s a special gift. Looking forward to it!
Thanks so much. That means a lot.
You are a good son...take care of your Dad. ❤
Update: I subscribed to your lessons. Although I’ve been playing 30 years and considered myself an intermediate, wanting to learn more chicken pickin’ and bends, the beginner part has me fixing so many obstacles because I needed to see how to fix my technique. It is exciting for playing to come together with proper technique - it’s like finding 4th and 5th gear after thinking 3rd was the highest it could go. Thanks, buddy! Money so well spent - 1000x more valuable than another pedal or gear I could try to sound better!
Really appreciate that y’all aren’t trying to sell on your channel, happy to buy your music, go see you live and support you directly. Love the variety show format man - keep it coming!
Thanks for listening!
Great lesson brother!
Thank you 🙏✨️🎸🎵
Yes, how dare they try to sell us something while giving us all this useful free information. That’s a pretty fair expectation right?
Dear sweet Lord - just listening to the opening improv was a pleasure.
Thanks man!
rarely am I moved to say something, but that opener was absolutely stunning, maestro level stuff
I never played a guitar until i was 30 years old. Im 65 now. So im late to the show.
Back then, working every day and raising a family made it tough and frustrating to play guitar.
Now im retired and play every day.
These small tutorials between you
Uncl Larry
Justin Ostrander
Brett Papa
Robert Baker Marty Swartz and others have helped me to play guitar.
Health issues keep me from playing out.
But i dream, and someday, i will play for others.
👍
Thanks a bunch, man! Hang in there! It should just be fun for sure.
@@guthrietrappmusic
❤️👍
Damn I just turned 65 last year so I'm looking forward to 67 and 10 months and I'll be practicing everyday!
Yep, I use those strings and I use those cables. Absolutely love them
Love the way this dude is sooo unassuming and yet not only does he know his stuff but he explains it in such an easy to digest and natural way. Its like having a friend sitting in my room!
I had to stop it half way to add something. I started playing in 1968, with no music training at all. CAGED was my "ah ha" moment! Forget the name caged, and just think chords CAGED. Start with barr G, keep the barr and play the A position and you get a C, that is also the #4 chord in the key of G! Keep that and move up 2 frets, you get a "D", or the #5 position in the key of G! If you go back to the original G barr 3, move that up 2 frets, you get the A, or the #2 position in the key of G. Now you have a box, with G, C, D, A, or the 1, 4, 5, 2 in the key of G. Starting with F baring the 1st fret, that works all the way up the neck! 1, 4, 5, 2 !! When you understand that, you just move the A position, or #4, up 4 frets, make it Am, and you get the relative, or 6m, in the key of G that would be the Em. I also used an exercise consisting of the chords that made 1000's of songs. We even called it the C, Am, F and G. It's just 1, 6m, 4 and 5. Then later the 2 is added in the bridge. When you can play the 1, 6m, 4, 5 (or C, Am, F, G) in the CAGED positions, your well on your way to understanding. That is also knowing little about music, and just using letters and numbers! I think that is part of what GT is trying/showing here, I hope. 8) He is tying scales into those positions, and that is helping me! Some of that I never thought about that way before! I'm no expert, just trying to help friends if I can. Peace --gary
Right on. 👍
The caged system should be called fucking caged system due to people not understanding that the f is used more than e due to 4th string root.
Hendrix I don't have to say any more
Your guitar mastery is a given. But I hope you realize what a brilliant communicator you are of this stuff. Natural, relaxed delivery.
Wow, thank you!
"Just put him on the guest list at your next show in NY, and maybe he’ll bring you one.” Nice flex, I love it, you tell them haters! Lol
The people of NY do not know how lucky they are to have all those amazing musicians on the one stage for 3 nights. How blessed are they. Keep up the good work Guthrie.
Thanks so much! Help us spread the word!
Yes we do
Guthrie, so much that can be said about the gifts you have given, the inspiration, and all you have shared with us, but for now, I will just boil it down to 2 words: THANK YOU! So glad that it is benefitting you as a player and a human being, as well. Win-win.
Wow, thank you!
Not sure about anyone else but this video just gave me a lightbulb moment. I have spent so much time learning chords up the fretboard and never put this together. Thank you for this video.
Great to hear! Thanks a bunch
Such a gifted teacher, thank you.
You're very welcome!
I watched the In Stereo live stream and all I can say is THANK YOU for gifting us with such amazing musicianship!!!
❤GT, I was at both shows for the record release. I wanted to say to you, thank you for the wonderful effort and the sincere heart that you thanked us all with. Your parents have raised a wonderful, wonderful TALENTED young man.
One of the best musicians of this era. GT is amazing🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥
My friend Jimmy Johnson (Bass Player) told me years ago that you are a fantastic guitar player! Man, was he right!
Love him!! Thanks man
YES!!!
I just randomly found this video.
This instructor is lightyears beyond my understanding of the guitar neck & it is overwhelming & too fast for my beginner brain. But as he moves through each micro lesson, I can pause it & take some time to consider what he said & try to copy & mentally grasp it.
My fingers get tired / hurt a little just trying to keep up.
What a superb video for the beginner and more advanced players.
Thank you !
Keep it up man! It’ll all start clicking soon. Thanks a bunch.
Don’t be a dick. But don’t take no shit either.
-Guthrie Trapp 2024
HA!!
Love it!
I hope my phone is recording this shit.
-Guthrie Trapp 2024
I didn’t realize the day I discovered Guthrie Trapp that it was a great day. My appreciation grows with every video! Thank you x 1,000
Today on the driver back from camping, I told my friend about your channel. I told him how it makes me feel like I'm hanging out with and being mentored by an amazing Nashville musician. I appreciate you Guthrie!
That is awesome! Thanks man
I cannot stop listening and watching everything you do! Also, the way you explain things makes so much sense that after a lifetime of playing I can start learning theory and actually use it!! Thanks so much!
Thanks a million!
That stuff around the 14 minute mark is so beautiful. It's amazing how you much you consistently unlock. Thank you.
Glad you enjoy it!
Absolute gold! Take heed young players. Thanks again Guthrie. I always always find inspiration in these.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just got my copy of In Stereo. What a blessing to have authentic music like this in my library. You guys are tremendously talented musicians. Side D…just wow. Thank you.
Thanks a bunch man!
Unbelievable how just one Great teacher can unleash a great way for me to understand.
Thanks man!
That intro (along with everything else) was just outstanding! Thank you Guthrie 🎶
Thanks for the detail in this CAGED video. One of your best. But a request. You mentioned in a recent video that you are considering setting up to add backing tracks for some of your videos. For me your totally solo playing at the beginning is one of the most special things you gift to us. Few others do (can?) that. It’s not easy to transcribe your solos and study your playing but with a backing track it would be much harder. So, from one of your admirers and fans. What you do now is great. Thanks Guthrie.
Thanks a bunch man. I never know what I’m going to play until my ass hits that chair. The backing tracks I was referring to are for some new Artist Works lessons we are launching real soon. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you, GT. We are all in supporting your efforts as you bring so much to the musical community. Heck, we can buy shirts, mugs, CDs, or even "likes" and "subscribes" and tip jar offerings... anything that will show our support. You are worth more than gold to me, sir. I know there are many of us that appreciate your hard work and dedication to the craft. God bless you dearly in all you set your hands to!!
Much appreciated!
I could listen to you noodle all day and never get bored. Your instruments instantly recharge my soul battery
I’ve been playing for longer than I’d like to admit. This is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen. Live, CZcams or otherwise.
Thanks
Wow, thanks! So happy to hear that.
That opening reminds of the scene in desperado when the mariachis play on the stage.
Yes indeed.....one learns by teaching........god bless us crazies and those that lead us on the crazy roads
Guthrie- you are an incredible player and a great teacher. Everything is a melody and in perfect harmony. Like a breathe of fresh air after a few hours in a smoke filled bar.
You are blessed and you are giving back, God Bless you, Safe Travels, Stay safe! Thanks for sharing
Thank you very kindly!
Guthrie that intro gave me chills
Nice! Love that sound
Mr:Trap your the real deal. Thanks from Amsterdam Nederland going to watch this another 50 more times.
Thanks man!
That fretboard is perfect.
Thank you Guthrie. My guitar skills have grown so much thanks to your sage skill. We do really appreciate all that you share. Such a gift to us all.
Great to hear!
Could listen to this fella all day
Thanks !
One of the most pertinent guitar channels on CZcams as far as I’m aware! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
Appreciate your time, advice and humour GT
Thanks a million.
Thanks for illustrating the bass note during the D shape
Happy to help!
@guthrietrappmusic, just got my signed copy of In Stereo vinyl today in the mail and could not be more excited! Thank you for everything you do for the guitar and music community. I continue to learn and get inspired with every lesson and every time I hear you play and teach. Take care!
Thanks a million! Means a lot
Guthrie, I don’t comment on ANYTHING on CZcams but I will make an exception for you. Damn, you are the real deal! A musical genius and we really appreciate you sharing it with us. See ya in November in NYC!
Dude! I’m far from a genius of any kind, but I really appreciate the kind words! We can’t wait for NYC
Wow, King of Tone and limited Halo, unreal gifts man!!
Fantastic lesson Guthrie! And the pieces and parts description alone with amp settings…WOW! Thanks!!!
Glad you liked it!
A couple minutes is all we ask. Great channel. Thanks.
That big Keeley Halo looks amazing, might have to pick one up.
A technique I adopted early on is using the barre fingering for cowboy chords, leaving my first finger 'left over', and any adjacent strings at the same fret shared a finger or dropped the neutral fourth or fifth that couldn't be fretted.
Thanks Guthrie.
Man, what a lesson !Still catching my breath !Thank you ,Thank you,Thank you
Buzzing the tower over here, but still really cool to watch and listen. thank you
Hey Guthrie, Love your stuff. How about an episode covering Tony Rice and his chord melody improvisation.
Man, i just want to say thank you for pouring all your knowledge into us and taking the time to just be an amazing human. Love what you do. Big thanks all the way from Georgia!
Hey man, I really appreciate that! We’re having fun 👍🎶😎
Wow that beginning sequence was beautiful
Thanks !
Just received the signed vinyl yesterday! I am forever grateful for the years of content you and tom have posted. I am happy to be able to support you guys for all that you have given the community.
Awesome! Thank you!
What you played at the beginning was really amazing
That sounds like your putting a classical guitar twist in there. I really like that
Superlative teaching Guthrie. I’d pay good money to access this as a fully developed tabbed out CAGED course with you teaching.
Thanks so much. I have some courses on artist works and TrueFire but more coming soon!
Hello from Carcassonne , South France .
Love your stuff Guthrie. Been following for a few years now. Took your course on Artist works and TrueFire and nothing changes. It's the same thing over and over. Once I started 'seeing' the chord first and then all of the information around the chord the fretboard puzzle was solved. Thanks for all you do! Much appreciated!!
I love playing along to your videos Guthrie. I really learn a lot from just copying what you do and it really makes a lot of sense to play the notes in the CAGED position connected to the C major scale. I feel im finally able to play the chord changes. Thanks for taking time to produce valuable content
Great to hear! We are all learning!
Always a privilege to listen to you Guthrie. You and Uncle Tom are just the best, man we are lucky to have you Stay safe.
Thanks a bunch, man!
I actually just started doing this a few days ago trying to figure it out on my own. Kept hearing a lot of you guys on line talking about going through the chord shapes and using those notes I thought to myself ok let me sit down and figure out what they mean. I haven't gotten deep into it yet but it was coming together making sense and sounding musical, a lot more musical than attempting to pick out a solo from a scale pattern for sure. This is a big help.
Groovy Latin flavor intro, GT! I’m gonna work on my CAGED chops this evening. My biggest problem is with coordination and strength in my pinky finger. 🎸👌
Keep working on the little finger. It’s important! Thanks man!
Love these updates, GT! Thanks ya.
Gee, whizz, Guthrie! That intro sounded like something my hero Andres Segovia might've played!
I can't wait to find out "what they're not telling me" (about CAGED) lol. 🤪
👌 👍
EDIT:
Around ~14:52 -->
This is something I figured out, way, way back when I was teaching myself how to play Classical guitar!
That you could find chords all around wherever your hand position is. In fact, I figured out the CAGED thingy before I'd ever heard of it. I'd literally never heard anyone call it that, but I noticed that I could simply bar those basic, 1st position "cowboy" chords to make any chord along the neck, and that the shapes were related to each other.
But, I'm still learning about those relationships, and buddy, you showed me some new things---yet again--- today!
Thanks, GT!
... ... ... ... -->
BTW, I am STILL WAITING for SOMEONE to explain how you get "Uncle Larry" from Tom Bukavac. Anyone? ? ?
(Apparently I'm not "good enough" for GT to explain it to me....) 😢
😢 😢 😢 😢
Thanks for another great lesson. Especially the part that starts around 12 minutes in where you unlock those target notes that indicate the chord changes.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey man, I just want to say thanks so much. Your videos are very informative and really really good. You’re the only guy on the Internet that is professional musician, and great player that really teaches this stuff and swears by it. Thanks so much for all your content and the information that you have in your videos.
I really appreciate that!
ThankQ GT for the CAGED reiteration ! Spectacular as always ! We are all truly blessed !!! Cheers from Thailand ! 😎🇺🇸🇹🇭🇺🇸⚓️🎸✅☕️🤠😎
Thanks a bunch! Thailand. Wow!
Boy this is GOLD! Coming together like never before. Thanks Guthrie!
Love listening and watching one of the best of the best out there today ! Thanks for sharing your talent with us Guthrie... I appreciate you ! 🙏
Thanks so much for listening!
Thank you!! You happen to be the positive in a negative world. Please keep Sharing your music.
Thanks for listening!
“GT” several times in this lesson you mentioned “a major 7th and a Dominant 7th”
I’ve heard other instructors say “They’re the same”. What’s the truth?
Thank you so much! I’m rarely ever jealous or envious of others ; you sir, are an exception to that rule!!
Thanks a bunch. They are NOT the same at all. The Dom7 is using the flat 7 (in G that would be F) Maj7 is using the 7th degree of the major scale. So F# if in key of G. Think of Mister Sandman for Maj7 and Sky Is Crying for Dom7.
Excellent explanation of the CAGED system. Use in melody runs. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Your lessons are great, Guthrie... and I love how real you are! Thanks man! 🤘🏻
I appreciate that!
So much love and good energy for you guys and your upcoming New York show. It's awesome that Uncle Larry and you will be performing together! You guys are a smokin' duo, absolutely no doubt about it.
Thanks so much!!
Got my album last night.....you have a great sig....loved the music...do more....it inspires me to grab the fiddle each day
Thank you Guthrie. Still love that Tele mate 👌🏻 Hi from Australia.
Hello there!
Any success coming your way Guthrie you've earned 100 times over. Thanks for this. Very inspiring.
I appreciate that!
No words to describe how grateful I am of you, Jedd, uncle Larry, Bret, and Justin. Thank you!!!
Essentially the same/only lesson you will ever need which you have been giving for years now, always a pleasure checking back in to your channel when i have the time now i have kids. You really helped me level up a couple years back and set me on the right path to become a better player every day. I will be teaching this to my kids hopefully in a few years time! Cheers Guthrie once again...
Much appreciated!
My Uncle taught me to play 35 years ago. He didn't know to call it caged, he say they were mill hill chords. Good stuff Guthrie 👏 👍
Thanks man! I don’t really like the name CAGED. It’s confusing I feel.
That intro was truly, truly killer!
Thanks !
Greetings from Ireland ...Gutherie. Haven't a clue about this CAGED stuff but you explain it real well. Thanks a mil for doing these videos!!
Thanks for watching!
Ireland is my favorite country to visit.
Sweet lesson, thanks! Wish I was in NY for the show. That would be awesome.
Dont cut yourself short, your a cool badass cat too dude!
Dude you are living your best life! Keep hookin it!
Thanks man! Trying to
Thanks, Guthrie, for another great video. You always inspire me to be better!
Happy to hear that!
I love the Spanish sounding tones and exotic flavors. Exotic to my ear anyway. You never disappoint by playing things a little outside the box and different from the usual and in the sweetest grooviest ways.
Thanks a bunch! Me too
Man!
Thank you again GT for the insight you share!
And how you are seeing the entire neck!
Cheers Brother!
My pleasure!
Nice video once again. Glad Mike Piera hooked you up with a KoT. He makes amazing stuff!
That’s no longer the Caged system. I would say it’s the Guthrie “Trapp” system. It’s how you trap the right notes under your fret hand at all times! Thanks for posting!
Appreciate all you do!! Thank you Guthrie!!
I appreciate that!
Very enjoyable to watch. I learn from just watching you don’t even have to say anything
Thanks man!
Ahhh the tone. The tone!
Thanks for the clearest explanation I've seen .
Glad it was helpful!
