Over 40 and Still Don't Know C.A.G.E.D? (DO THIS!)

  • A recent video that I did sparked someone to comment that if you're over the age of 40 and you still have not yet learned about the "C.A.G.E.D. Guitar Method," you really need to study it and learn how it works so that your knowledge of the neck can further expand.
    For those of you who are not sure what this guitar method actually is, the "CAGED Method," is a path to learning an octave pattern system based off of the root designed octaves of; "C, A, G, E and D," chords found in the open position of the guitar neck.
    Some would have you believe that seeing any kind of progress when it comes to learning the guitar after a certain age will be dependent upon resorting to methods like C.A.G.E.D. as a shortcut to more comprehensive development of the fingerboard.
    While that is simply not true, this system can still be another learning option that is certainly helpful when it comes to understanding more about how the guitar neck operates for; note names, scales, chords and intervals.

    LOL!!!! I didn't start guitar until I was in my early 50s and had played keyboard for 6 or 7 years. I have now sang and played guitar in about 220 open mics and also played at restaurants and wineries opening for friends. Who made up the 40 year old rule, a 10 year old? Just get a guitar, a good teacher and start working no matter what your age is, 8 to 80!

    Bought a guitar in late April, purchased a well-known guitar method book, have been learning the notes of the fret, know many chords, am working on barred chords. Practice everyday, faithfully. Practice, practice, practice. This video is a great help. I’m about to turn 61!

    I'm over 50, so this video was a bit tough to see properly, until I adjusted my UHF antennas.
    That said, this is a great lesson on how to best grok the neck and its layout. I know the notes, but this highlights the relationships and nicely maps the intervals. This is exactly what I was looking for.

    I’m not sure this is the cage , this is more like where the octaves are , the concept of the cage is to say start on a C chord now play using the A shape , then G shape & E &D spelling out caged , and each shape change starts off from the previous chord shape

      @@jlevan1996 If you want to take a course from the ground up and don't mind the little bit of dedication involved, then do Andrew's course. I can tell you that it is not random. I was a member at Guitar Tricks and started their Beginner course. First lesson was good, second was making sense, third lesson was totally unrelated as was all further lessons. So, I quit and joined at Creative Guitar. Andrew's system is a real course that he's used with real human beings at his studio, so it's logical and makes sense.

    So let me make things clear in the debate on passing 40. Hey I am 68 and the thing is that I am a multimusician and when I don’t practice drums (both electronic and acoustic) or practice keyboard or etudes on my classic flute. ( when I was 20 I travelled around Europe as a street musician.) Then, I for sure also get a lot of fun learning more on guitar and base. If you might, for example have seen Paul McCartney 78, you might also have had another point of view about age. And to learn, is the most beautiful things in life, and it is something you can do long as you live. The result is not important, it is that you try to do your best and enjoy it that is the meaning. The guys that become masters are there to inspire us. ❤️🎶 Today I will spend most of the time with Logic in my home studio!🎧🎶

    Well I’m over 40, but I’ve been playing almost 40 years now too. So for me, it was very tedious, and I had to keep fast forwarding as I was hoping to find some new breakthrough. When I should know by now, there really isn’t any new breakthroughs to learning the neck, ha ha.
    Anyway, maybe the title should be, “intermediate guitar players of all ages.” As I didn’t find this much different than other ways of memorizing the neck that I learned back in the 80s. But it sounds like some people here learned some things, so that is great! 👍🏻🎸

    Hi Andrew, the caged looks like a good spot to improve as a mediocre player that has self taught and missed important building blocks of guitar. You have really great clean, concise and exacting fretboard fingering and your effects sounds I want to learn too... I'm a Saxophonist by trade but attempted guitar most of of my life. I'm 58 now. I have jumped around through lessons, missing important building blocks in the journey and have not memorized the fretboard either. I can figure out the notes but not nano second speed needed as my Sax fingerings are automatic. Also, I'm noticing knowing the notes of chords is the only way to understand building triads etc. After 40 learning is definitely not easy. Sax was a piece of cake starting at 12 years old. I'm wondering where should a student like me start to improve Guitar ? Thanks from Gmanjazz, Stuck on a middle pleateu somewhere in guitarland.

      It's not an entirely valid title/headline, but it makes sense for some of us. In my case, i started playing when i was about 12, but was always intimidated by lead work. It both 'hurt my fingers' as a kid, and i just didn't have confidence in ability to learn it. I stuck with just learning the main riffs and rhythm stuff, even from Van Halen and 80s metal-but not soloing. Skip ahead 30-40 years, and i was just as intimidated by lead, but since i hit 40, there's an age (+lack of sleep) factor that diminishes my memory. So, there's that. Of course, you can start learning when you're 40 and not have this as an obstacle, but i kinda feel like it's less of an obstacle if you learn it while you're younger, and don't let too much time pass for it to build up as some 'insurmountable' feat in your mind.

      I am not over 40, but I am pretty close, and I get what he means. Some of us that are older can make use of a more condensed version of something. Time might be more limited, and many find as they get older that learning new things doesn't come as easy. I know I am one of those people, and I found this video very helpful. If you don't feel that way as you get older, well I am happy for you.
