caged lesson question
Hi, this is my 3rd:
If I got it right, I can play any of the chords in the caged in diferent places in the fretboard, by readjusting them? So instead of starting by the open chord C, I can start by A/Ashape=X02220 and then A/Gshape=542225, the famous Eshape at the 5th fret and so on from any place in the fretboard… and I just see on my right all those smilies clapping, scratching and beurking. Thanks

That's right, bicileta, those shapes, in that CAGED order keep sliding out from under the nut. So, AGEDC, GEDCA, EDCAG, DCAGE and, of course, the sharp flats too.

 I'm also the author of
PlaneTalk - The Truly Totally Different Guitar Instruction Book. The
lesson that this book, slide-rule and DVD teach is the
most powerful of all: the 'trick' to seeing the entire fretboard as
friendly, familiar territory. If you're beyond the beginner stage -- you
know your chords, scales, maybe even modes -- but you're still wondering how
to turn it all into music, how to invent and improvise, how to access all the bits and pieces, then this is the
book for you. You will also be able to join the private PlaneTalkers'
Forum and discuss the simple visualization technique with me and many
others. - Read more here .

Testimonials
Hello, the name is Ian and I have been playing guitar since I was in the 6th grade. I am now 22 years old and have quite a musical history. I have taken both guitar and piano lessons, taught guitar lessons (to earn extra $$ while in college), and have taken several musical theory courses at the University of Pittsburgh, my alma mater. For the past 6 years I have been honing my guitar skills and focused highly on improvisation, especially in live performances. For a long time I worked on coming up with my own 'theory' of improvisation, using all my acquired knowledge and experience. I could improvise very well, but I could not figure out what exactly it was that I was doing...one could call it following my ears, I guess. Then one day I stumbled upon your web site and wanted to see what it was you knew that I did not. I was amazed that I already knew all the concepts and theory that you describe, but never put it all together. You showed me exactly what I had been searching for. In the last few months my improvisation and playing have improved drastically, and at a time when I thought I knew everything. Just goes to show that you can never know it all. I wanted to thank you very much for putting it all down, and in such a fun & easy way. Sometimes I go back and reread Plane Talk and I continue to draw new ideas from its pages. Thanks again, and keep on pickin'!
-- Ian Gagorik from USA
