How to learn all your chords on the neck by using the CAGED sequence! 5 Primary chord voicings used to construct any kind of chord by applying chord formulas.
Here are the voicings for all 5 shapes reading from the lowest tone or string.
C shape = 1-3-5-1-3
A shape = 1-5-1-3-5
G shape = 1-3-5-1-3-1
E shape = 1-5-1-3-5-1
D shape = 1-5-1-3
The numbers indicate the degree or note from the scale in which the notes were taken. example.. the C major scale consists of the notes C=1 D=2 E=3 F=4 G=5 A=6 B=7. When constructing a chord using a Tertian (Thirds) method you would select a note, and from that point select every other note, till you have a total of three notes. That’s how easy it is!
Example…If I select C=1 then I would skip D=2 and select E=3, skip F=4 and select G=5 giving me three notes C=1-E=3-G=5, or 1-3-5. Any combination of these three notes will play a C Major chord. This process can be continued from each note of the scale giving you the diatonic corrasponding chords.
C Major, D minor,E minor,F Major,G Major, A minor (Relative Minor), and B minor flat 5th or diminished 5th.
These are the chords you would use to compose a chord progression or vamp for writing in the key of C Major.
a good exercise for learning this is to make a blank guitar neck grid sheet. Replace all the notes with numbers starting with C as 1. Use this to find all the CAGED shapes. It is also great for melodic phrasing when learning how to use target notes. Target notes are notes to stress or resolve to that best capture the essence of the chord you are soloing over.
Example… If I am soloing over a C major chord I would stress the notes C E G or even B if it was a Major 7 chord. From the same key you will notice that a D minor chord uses D,F,A, or 2-4-6. Stress those tones if that chord comes up. This is obviously a generic way to play but a good foundation for understanding target notes and melodic soloing.
Hope this helps!
Thanks

wow, you have just …
wow, you have just unlocked the whole entire guitar neck for me. i have been afraid of it for years now and i knew there had to be some system that made sense and linked it all together! This is the way i learn… someone showing me and explaining it at the same time! Awesome. I am so grateful for people like you on youtube that are willing to help for free. Thank you.
QUESTION: Is there also this same system for minor chords? Can you do a video about that?

lol! yes, that is …
lol! yes, that is the most important part. In case anyone wondered what that was about is the computer screen was to my right so I would check to make sure you can see the neck..mostly, sometimes I am just looking at myself…lol

look in the description box for the video>>
The numbers indicate the degree or note from the scale in which the notes were taken. example.. the C major scale consists of the notes C=1 D=2 E=3 F=4 G=5 A=6 B=7. The root is the first note of the scale you are making a chord from. In this case C = the root.

Where can i go to find out what all this root, 3rd and 5th stuff means? i know like the basic minor and major chords but in order to make them movable i’d like to be able to understand what the parts of a chord are. No one ive seen has been able to explain it well.

You made the fifth third seventh thing and chord transpositions much easier to understand. I’m a visual learner so seeing it helped enormously.

Finally, someone is …
Finally, someone is posting this stuff. I figured this out on my own a few years back and it changed everything. This is the way the guitar should be taught. It’s all about positions and how to use them in conjunction with each other. Once you understand what he is teaching it will open up the whole neck and it will all make sense. It’s like a road map for the guitar neck. Keep up the good work.

The Dots on the …
The Dots on the guitar are nothing more than fret markers or a way to find your position on the guitar neck. They have nothing to do with theory except for the double dotted fret or 12th fret is your octave of the open string. Notice the guitar I am using in the video doesn’t have fret markers. They have no purpose really unless you are a beginner, that way you can find the fret number or remember areas of the neck you learned riffs on.
Hope that helps.

I think he would be a great teacher. He doesn’t take himself too seriously and adds humor, but, I wish he would start from the absolute beginning guitar players’ perspective. I would love to find a guitar teacher with his demeanor/approach. Thx for the post. I wish I could incorporate my “basic” knowledge to grasp the concepts he demonstrates. He’s not a doctor,and I’m not a natural guitar player, but I’ll keep trying. Thx again.
