JOIN THE DISCORD VIEW THREADmaybe thats the problem..im trying to do the caged system,the root notes,and the notes on each string..im pushing too hard..i just want to learn all that i can...thank you brother yall have helped me so muchI'd still honestly just worry about the shapes....memorize them. ...Remember them. And when you're confident start sliding in the pentatonic and major scales.even tho they all are ideally the same scales and notes the shapes seem to act different. If u try to learn them all at once your brain may overload and remember none. Take it slow and steady.
I don't know why but I really can't figure out which scale shape you're playing here. Do you remember? Awesome videohere is how I practice this lesson! Hopefully someone finds it helpful
For the 1st 4 minutes I am playing the major scale out of the C shape. Is that what you were talking about?I don't know why but I really can't figure out which scale shape you're playing here. Do you remember? Awesome video
Yes, thanks.For the 1st 4 minutes I am playing the major scale out of the C shape. Is that what you were talking about?
Kinda.. like there are so many possible substitutions over chords. It's more asking yourself what trick you wanna pull out of your sleeve.Just rewatched this lesson and I am starting to wonder about the importance of note choice. Do I really have to pay much attention to what I play between a note I start with and a note I land on? Sure thing, you may want to have save notes to start and end your phrases but do you even need to play notes that are within your arpeggio, scale or key? Because I think you can make everything work when you are just landing well. Might try that out some time

Hmm yeah that makes sense. But I think it's likely to Sound good when you stay more or less within the shape of your scale / chord. Not too many "wrong" notes you can play there.Yes and no
Basically there are chord tones, color tones and passing tones. Chord tones and color tones will always sound great when you throw them in. Passing tones are neither chord tones or color tones but they can work if you do them between two chord tone, a chord tone and a color tone etc. Two right after each other creates a sound that sounds off but one or two notes outside the key/scale every once in a while can sound really cool, take the b5 in the blues scale for example or when you mix modes this happens all the time.
I though you meant outside the scale/chord but yeah inside you can pretty much use all of them as passing tones.Hmm yeah that makes sense. But I think it's likely to Sound good when you stay more or less within the shape of your scale / chord. Not too many "wrong" notes you can play there.

It's Not easy. It's Not easy to follow Papa Gates when you are totally new to this topic. I struggle with it too. But sticking with it can be really rewarding. As soon as you See the Connections between chords, Keys and how it all works together it gets easier. And more interesting.well I think I am going to quit trying to learn this. This CAGED system thing lost me. I don't understand what is going on. I think I am going to have to try to find another way to learn guitar . I understand Spanish more then I do anything any of you guys or Papa Gates said . Do not think this is for me
