Using CAGED to solo

[Anthony P]

I like to think I’ve understood the concept of CAGED from Brian’s tutorials but is it possible to suggest one lesson or a group of lessons that will help me see how to use CAGED to solo?

Hi , if you search CAGED in the weekly lesson page , there is a wealth of lessons on this subject , you’ll be spoilt for choice .

Hi Anthony,
I was going to say the same thing. About 20 lessons pop up, you can use the sample button to quickly find something you like the sound of. EP 330 is a nice gospel sounding rhythm and lead incorporating CAGED. Almost all of Brian’s lessons utilize CAGED or triads related to the CAGED system.

Ep 356 was a big breakthrough lesson for me. Shows you licks in 3 zones and the connecting chords.

I also think focusing on triads is huge, instead of full chords. Frees up your fingers and lets you connect licks to the “anchor point” triads a little easier.

Another tip is you’ll start to notice G & A and C & D have a lot of overlap, so sometimes I only see 3 shapes/zones. Simplifies matters a little!

Thank you Alan L and Charjo, that’s what I was looking for, a couple of suggestions to get started.
