Tighten up your rhythm playing by focusing on how to get a great sound, balancing your wrist and elbow, and understanding how to subdivide rhythms.
The first step to form the blueprint is to find the 5 CAGED shapes in the right key, which for our example will be the key of C. These shapes will serve as the foundation to form the scale.
Next, we will plug in the notes of C major pentatonic (C–D-E-G-A) into each of the CAGED shapes. Finally, we add the b3 (Eb) to finish off the major blues scale.
These three steps will allow you to easily form a blueprint of the blues scale across the fretboard—in any key.
Caitlin will show you the step-by-step process of connecting all five CAGED Shapes to create a “blueprint” for any key. Once this blueprint is formed, we can then outline any scale in that key.
The CAGED System is the best tool we have to understand and navigate the fretboard. The five CAGED Shapes will greatly improve your skillset for both rhythm and lead playing. Connecting the 5 CAGED Shapes allows you to create shapes that will outline any scale for any key. Caitlin will show you the step-by-step process of connecting all five CAGED Shapes to create a “blueprint” for any key. Once this blueprint is formed, we can then outline any scale in that key.
