Members mosiddiqi Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 I never really got into the whole CAGED thing...I wish it had been around when I started playing..for the first few years anything outside the "blues box in A" was like a foreign country. F# funk? ...I'm getting the POD fired up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F# funk? ...I'm getting the POD fired up! The thing with CAGED is to learn it and then forget it. Its a stepping stone to learning your fretboard but it can easily become a prison if you don't start melting the individual patterns into one large "fretboard". Many folks don't bother to learn their note names on the neck, either so it also can perpetuate "guitar illiteracy" if you don't take the next step. It can kind of be an online guitar forum hype trap like modes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that worked for me was that exercise where you pick a note, say G, and play it (and sing it!) everywhere you can find it on the fretboard. That, together with some inspiration from Robert Fripp saying you should think of the guitar as "one long string" really helped me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the "one string" guitar idea for learning (or teaching) fretboard theory...its a great idea from Mick Goodricks "The Advancing Guitarist" book that I've stolen many times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
