CAGED: Beyond the Shapes
6 videos plus PDFs. For guitar players of all levels.

Almost every guitarist knows their CAGED shapes. Most of us learned them in C, and that’s where it stopped. Nobody showed us what to do next.

This course is about getting everything out of those five shapes. You won’t learn new patterns. You’ll learn how to use the ones you already have, so you can play your scales anywhere on the neck, in any key, without stopping to think about where you are.

What’s inside

• The CAGED Map: the five shapes in a circle, and how to find any shape from any root.
• The Route Through the Shapes: all five shapes in every key, moving in fourths.
• Start From Any Degree: start a scale from any note and get all the modes.
• Beyond CAGED: 3 and 4 notes per string, plus a counterpoint exercise.
• Fourths in a Fixed Window: link all twelve keys into one continuous line.
• Playing Through Changes: connect the shapes over real chord progressions.

Every video comes with a companion PDF with the diagrams, practice notes, and a plan for what to work on before the next lesson.

Who it’s for

If you can play the five CAGED shapes, even slowly, you’re ready.

What you’ll walk away with

• A clear picture of the whole fretboard, built from five shapes
• Every mode and minor scale, without new fingerings
• Scales you can reach whenever you need them
• A way to practice that teaches the note names while you play
