The “CAGED System” Explained
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 01. 2024
- I’m doing my best to explain what is now called the “CAGED system”. To me it’s not a system at all. It’s the ultimate concrete foundation of the guitar from the very beginning. Period.
Everything that’s ever been played is connected to this foundation. It’s not new and it’s not changing and it’s not going away. The faster you get into this the faster you’ll improve on every level.
Have fun with it and don’t forget to use your ears!

Guthrie Trapp - Hudba
Turn on your phone and be yourself. It’s golden. We are super fortunate you give us a few minutes of guitar wisdom and practical application.
Guthrie Taggart we need some new info from ya its been the same caged lesson for 2 yrs now
At least get his name right!
In a sea of channels that just show sponsored/new gear content; its refreshing watching your channel of actual playing!
Finally a REAL opinion on what most people try to pass off as a BIG secret
GT you are such a genuine man. Thanks for your guitar wisdom.
I'm just gonna keep on working the shapes until you tell me something new and fancy has come along. Cheers Guthrie!
There is nothing new and fancy without that. Trust me.
The appeal to me of your videos is that they are unscripted, unedited and authentic. I'm a guitar player and guitar related info is why I'm here. Unless you learn to survive setting your hair on fire every week you will probably continue to attract musicians and not casual viewers. I'm glad you know your lane and you stay in it. Of all the CZcams music teachers I've watched (dozens over the years) you have been my biggest influence. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Brother I'd rather listen to you record on your iPhone then 97% of these other guys out there! You keep doing you cause at the end of the day you need to be able to close your eyes and open your ears for this stuff! I hope to see the trio tomorrow night my friend as I will be in town! Keep putting out those sweet sweet sound waves my friend!
Agree 100% 👊
Dude the simplicity of this explanation is legendary, it's switched on a massive light bulb and connected so many things. Thank you for sharing...!!!
Dude you just keep being you... No frills, just meat and potatoes. Thats why we dig you man! We will hang out someday dammit!
THANK YOU, GT! Your explanation, and the fact you share all of this wonderful information with us is SO appreciated!! To all who struggle with this, just keep at it, your playing WILL go next level if you put just a little bit of time into this kind of study. Seriously, just 15 minutes of playing with purpose per day will have you understanding this stuff all over the fret board. The thing that helped me the most is learn all the shapes in one key first. (I started with C) Do that and nothing else until you can play that comfortably up and down the neck in all the shapes. Then add the fifth of that key and play those two keys in all of the shapes and nothing else. In just a couple of weeks you won't believe how much knowledge of the guitar you'll have. Outstanding stuff I wish I knew 30 years ago!! God bless you, GT and everyone embarking on this amazing journey!! 🤠👍
This is absolute gold to someone learning the instrument. In fact to any guitar player, except uncle Larry ; )
Stay in your own lane!!… love it buddy. I don’t cut my own hair, I don’t do my own dental work…I can text, take pictures and make phone calls on my phone… I just want to play guitar and fun doing it!
You could cut your hair a little each day and it would be your land. Just be consistent
Blown away you only have two guitars. Love your videos, keeps me going. Thank you so much
My playing has grown exponentially since finding GT's vids here on the CZcams. I am signing up for his Artist works stuff as it is mind blowing to be able to watch a vid like this and his last one and be able to start ripping Samba-like solos and rhythms. I cannot wipe the smile off my face. Thanks as always GT. You make us all better guitarists.
I have tried to learn and understand CAGED for years. It was never explained to me more than just the C chord voicings up the neck. I have learned more from three of your videos than I have in years of lessons. Thank you!
Jack Ruch has great videos on this subject also
Cmon Guthrie there’s clearly an old Duo Sonic right behind you 😂
To me … you and Tom are my go to guys for inspiration. You have both revived the love of guitar for many players that lost their way. Appreciate you guys.
Who is Tom? Does he have CZcams channel??
@eduardopanameno3988 Tom Bukiovac. Uncle Larry. He has a youtube channel. Phenomenal.
@@iantaylor827 thank you very much!
Big question is when is the album going to be released?
You can say that again. The jam they did on Brret Papa's channel turned me on to these cats and everything else J have seen from Tom and Guthrie continues to blow me away while teaching me something more about something that I thought I knrw if teaching something new altogether. I have been playing for 40 years and thought I was pretty decent until I watch these guys who not only have chops but the best chordal and melodic vocabularies this side of the Steely Dan sessions players.
The best instruction out there.
Motivated, inspired and heartbroken.. all in one video! Amazing to witness that, and in the best setting relatable to the rest of us... sitting in a room, alone, trying to figure that instrument out! Your lesson was pure gold for me. Thank you.
You’re doing great man! Don’t feel like you have to defend or explain to folks your approach vs. how others approach their channels.
Now, on the playing- I think the problem a lot of us have is - Ok so we learn all the inversions on the neck, and I get that allows you play your 1-4-5 anywhere on the neck.. but beyond that the light bulb just hasn’t popped on for me on how this whole concept is APPLIED to an actual song, or lead playing, etc. It just feels like an exercise and sounds really “scale-y” to me…
I literally click on any of your videos to just simply hear you "noodle"...that's some damn good pasta
New subscriber here. This guy is the real deal. Been playing for over 40 years. Realizing I have so much to learn. 😂. I’m gonna dig into this channel. There’s no way it won’t help me to get better. Love it.
thanks for this video, when I learned the caged system I already knew the pentatonic scales pretty much all over. when i learned the caged system, it really opened up guitar for me, and kinda connected everything for me in a way.
Exactly
I love you Guthrie! 🏴🏴👏👏
The videos are perfect brother…
The best CZcams guitar resource for keeping yourself on track.
Personnally, I watch and learn from the guitar work and musicianship that I hear and see on this channel. What we get here is straight/to the point/no bullshit advice and lessons from someone that knows his shit...so...THANK YOU!!
Thanks for all this, Guthrie.
Best guitar videos on CZcams!👍🏻
Mind blown!!!!! Thank you Guthrie!!!
You're awesome GT!
Man I love that you’re posting on CZcams more. Keep ‘em coming!!!
Guthrie really appreciate these videos. Going back to the basics has really improved my playing immensely
You're the man. Thanks for the continued knowledge and willingness to share.
Don’t let anybody get you down, I like the way you do stuff.
Brother, your videos are perfect, never change!
Thank you Guthrie for sharing your gift and your honesty.
Great VId! Should have been titled "Cave Man Shit" though!! 🤣🤣
The lightbulb just went on for me! I feel like the shroud is lifted and I finally get it. Thank you!
Guthrie. You are some player - been watching a lot of your live playing which is just amazaing - and some of the stuff you show us on this channel is gold. Thanks a lot.
So lucky to get professional advice and lessons for free. Really is much appreciated Guthrie, you've made me a better player
Excellent GT Excellent!
Always interesting, never boring. Much respect Guthrie...
Yes I do try to make it work time is short enough to play the guitar. Fingers Get OLD etc. Best teacher of keep you head in the game.
Huge fan. Thanks for sharing Guthrie
I appreciate how you focus on teaching & playing. Your IPhone is perfect for that setting…. Simple amp setup is great. I’ve spent $1000 of dollars trying to find the perfect amp sound through all the multi effect pedals .. and that distracts me from actually learning guitar playing techniques. Keep on keeping the gear setup simple !!
Thx GT! You make a great one take instructional video.
So refreshing to have someone give basic, fundamental musical information in an unpretentious easy to understand way. And your observation about CZcams videos, editing etc. etc. certainly resonates. Thanks for all the time you spend helping us be better players.
Watching you is like how I learned to play 50+ yrs ago back when there was no CZcams, digital media, etc. The "Mel Bay" era. But I learned from listening to or watching good players and copying what they played. The mimicking came fast, understanding what I am doing continues today. And with that, you are a great help. I am a huge fan, GT!
You’re hitting the sweet spot for your audience GT. I’m enjoying the lessons, the music, and looking forward to BFG stories!!!
It's all about the content of the videos and your content /lessons are absolutely the best.
You’re the best, Guthrie. Your channel is a pot of gold and your videos are perfect as they are. We learn so much from you and your talent and generosity. Don’t change a thing ever!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, chops, and for generously giving of yourself and your valuable time! Not to mention that you seem to be good human being. God bless!
Love your playing Guthrie
Hey man. Subscribed to your channel. Really enjoyed this video. You say its overwhelming and there is a lot.. But it was really cool to see all the inversions in 1 video. I think I am gonna watch this video quite a few times. Many thanks.
You, Tom Bukovac, and Ask Zac are my top 3 CZcams guitar channels to watch because of everything you mentioned. Thank you for doing you! Great lesson btw.
I love your videos Guthrie. Straight ahead and no editing is great.
I first learned about the CAGED system in a 1974 Guitar Player magazine monthly column by Howard Roberts. Howard said that his friend Jack Marshall invented the CAGED system. Perhaps Marshall just arranged the 5 open string chords to spell CAGED. Seems, like Guthrie says, that the concept was probably around long before that.
Thanks for the honesty Guthrie! good explanation and time on the instrument.No one can play what they can not here.Learning the instrument is the key here.A.M. Love hearing about your life in music.
Amen, simple and effective. Your videos are straight no chaser. We appreciate you
GT you are an inspiration, Man - leading by example. We're looking forward to seeing you when you get up here to NY.
GT, youre the MAN! These videos help so much. The guitargate masterclasses...amazing. its a dose of real talk! Love it all and theres always so much hilarity!
Keep it up!
Grateful for GT's time - impactful!
Guthrie you are the real deal. Love your honesty and your jammin' guitar playing! Keep it up.
THIS STUFF IS WHAT MAKING MUSIC IS ABOUT!!! THANKS FOR SHARING GT!!!
Guthrie thank you! These lessons help a lot bro, man o man. I'm gonna come see you at the bitter end in March!🤙😉
Hands downs best guitar teacher Period!
I agree. He really breaks it down brilliantly and clearly.
Totally relate to just wanting to
be a player, not an editor. Some
times l feel that capturing stuff
on my phone.. is just being lazy
in lieu of learning Pro-Tools etc.
But GT is right: Just go and get
a pro to use his tools to record.
Buy a block. It's worth it to just
have a pro allow us to just play
(and focus on the actual guitar
performance process).Genius!
Never apologise! You’re the man! Would love you to talk about how you hold the pick, angle across the strings, and how light etc to get such good tone ❤. Keep em coming maestro
Great guitarists taking the time to explain things to we mortals.. Its just pure awesomeness!
Great info. This knowledge really expands your guitar playing, and learning all the chords in relation to your scales. It probably takes years to master but even starting down the road makes you seem light years ahead of where you were.
You set a high standard in everything you play and everything you are Guthrie. Polishing the presentation would detract from what we love about you. Thank you for your generosity
Hey Guthrie thanks for being real and sharing your life knowledge in the guitar. With all due respect, I hope you are blessed with a signature guitar. I tried the J rocket GTO and love it so I'd love to see a guitar in any form that meets your specs and prefs. Much respect, Brotha!
I know you put a lot of work to this video . Thank you so much for all your hard work. I really appreciate it
Definitely my favourite CZcams channel
Guthrie, your videos are so helpful to me, a long time guitar picker that had no clue why I do what I do on the fret board. I am very grateful for the content you provide!
GT you are the man. Took lessons from you for a year. I have a Fender Supersonic 22 amp. Question? What is your feeling on using a hotplate attenuator so i can get that breakup sound without waking up my kids. Bedroom practice area is not huge. thanks for all your hard work
Such a great lesson. Things are starting to click on a different level after years. Thanks Guthrie!
Hey Guthrie - totally agree on many points here, from buying local to this guitar thing we all enjoy. I'd love to see a Truefire from you be just on Caged...chord construction, etc., and really dig in to how you think about it in a practical way. I'm a reformed bluegrass banjo and hotshot rock player turned engineer, years later now delving back in and actually learning the "whys" of the instrument more fully...mostly leaning toward Chet stuff and pretty chordal stuff these days...thanks for the vid and say hi to Billy 😎
This is awesome. Playing all the changes in one position is now my learning goal.
Great video. Very helpful. Thank you
Nice lesson you nailed the explanation and demystified “CAGED” so I just can get on with playing it opposed to thinking more about it-look forward to more lessons
Thanks for the lesson!!
Great content, no need high tech recording equipment. Thank you for uploading!
Hey Guthrie. Your videos look great! No need for any fancy cameras or editing. It's the player and the content that make all the difference. Speaking of CAGED, I've been working really diligently to get this under my fingers. A great player, like you makes it look and sound easy, but it really takes time and effort to make it so fluid. Thanks! 😎
Tom, Jedd, Guthrie! ❤ Thank you!
The most useful explanation I have heard on the topic. Thank you.
Just awesome . 👏
Guthrie, you are one of my real hero’s here on CZcams. Along with Jack Ruch, you guys have helped me dig deep into triads and I have completely changed the way I solo and improvise within a couple of months.
It’s so awesome to hear that you are now friends with a common Hero, Billy Gibbons! I just learned Fool For Your Stocking the other day!
Guthrie, your instructional videos are some of the best I've ever watched. I've been playing guitar for 16 years and I know that I'll always be learning something incredibly useful whenever I flip to your channel. I highly prefer your barebones approach to making videos as well. There's no need to worry about "high production value" when it comes to this sort of thing. Much love!
I gotta say how much I’ve enjoyed your content lately. I’ve been playing off and on for 15 years & watching your stuff has really got me interested & motivated to pick up the guitar again for 20-30 mins a day. And I can tell the difference.
Hold on to payday, but I’m gonna buy you a beer or two.
Could you do a video on common chord progressions? Whether 251 or 146 etc.
You are so refreshing for us intermediate players, you don't bore us to death like many others.
Thanks so much brother for your sharing your brilliant licks and knowledge. God bless ❤
GT,,,your video quality is more than good and sufficient,,,what makes is special is how simple it is and most of all it works..,,..simpler the better,,,,who the hell has time to edit anything,,,lol,,,not me,,,,not today,,,lol,.,,,the meat and potatoes of your totally free content, your guitar spirit, matter of fact honest presentation, solid stewardship and selfless sharing is unmatched, thank-you!!!!!!. you have changed my playing skills and fretboard knowledge forever.....
Love the honesty!
Hi Guthrie, I’m in manchester England I absolutely love your down to earth approach to teaching,and your superb playing inspires so many guitarists we love what you do, Thanks !
I appreciate you GT, and I agree with you about the main thing . . . I just want to play the guitar, with and for other people, and get better doing it. That's our lane and the "CZcams guitarists" can post their gear talk and let the onlookers watch whatever channel floats their boats.
That intro was amazing
Great opening. Thank you
Together with Uncle Larry, the most inspiring guitarvideos on YT these days. Period. A little bit off topic but is it possible to do a video about your live rig , amps, pedals…Thanks for all this good stuff GT🙏🏼
Great player, Great lesson, Great guy! More power to you bro, many thanks
