    I've recently started a little improv exercise where I play two chords, 4 bars each at a slow tempo on a looper pedal, then make up leads in each CAGED shape over the chords. So if the chords are E and C, I play a little E in the C shape, then C in the C shape; E in the A shape, C in the A shape, and so forth. Really cementing the connections between chords, triads, scales, and arpeggios.

    Thank you Eric for being true, it meant a lot from someone who has experience like yourself and say that it even takes you a bit of time to map out the chords and know where you are going (unless you're a virtuoso). Makes me feel better that when I'm struggling that I'm not the only one who can't "just do it".

    Great lesson! This is what I’ve been focusing on the last year - really getting the shapes under my fingers, switching through different chord progressions, different triad inversions, seeing the flat 3 and flat 7, etc. I really like your point about being patient and being curious. Sometimes I just sit for a couple of hours exploring all of this and the relationships between everything starts showing up in new ways. This is such a big part of really learning the fretboard.

    I came up with an adaptation of this idea this morning. For this progression, F Bb Gm, pick a caged position for a pass through, then shift one chord to a new caged position with each repeat. So if a number represents a position…
    1 1 1
    2 1 1
    2 2 1
    2 2 2
    3 2 2
    3 3 2, etc

    Great Post. Appreciate the comments about mapping the shapes out, AND that it gets easier, but never EASY…requires thought.
    Organizing and attaching knowledge bits to each other so that a shape unlocks possibilities is really where it’s at!
    Kneading the different chord substitutions and expanding Pentatonic shapes into modes (for basic chords) is where I’m at…playing an arrangement in one small position, but all over the neck.
    Also, really handy when you need to transpose a tune for a singer!

    I am also embracing Haugenomics, I got the CAGED course and I can say its really the most useful info I have come across in years. This is not a sponsored comment, but a recommendation, everyone should do this course. The reason it worked for me I think is because Eric explains WHY he sends you down a path and then teaches. Great stuff Eric (btw that's a sweet sounding Tele right there), this channel is going places.

  • @deeforty
    @deeforty Před rokem

    I practice this in "real time", fir example I'll put a backing track on, or a song and figure out the progression, then force myself to stay at say, the 8th fret, I'll then play the chord progression there without moving too far, I also practice finding how many of the same note I can find on the neck in real time, so if the chord changes to a c, I play as many different c, s all over the neck, before the chord changes, I find that helps speed my brain up.
