Check out this tab of The Serpent’s Kiss by Symphony X I just did.

Here’s a video demo of my pod xt gear used in making songs and my guitar lessons.

This jazz guitar etude is played by Mike Allemanna and is super fast!

Not exactly a lesson but check out my latest jazz guitar etude video. I highly recommend getting yourself a copy of these etudes if you like jazz guitar.

Here’s a lesson by Ralf Buschmeyer on using the diminished scale for jazz and fusion styles.

This video lesson describes the note names on each string of the guitar as a primer for learning the CAGED system.

More CAGED discussion - a clear example of the basics. I want you to really understand this method. Post comments/questions if you have issues.

Okay, we’re going to go back to the basic shapes now. There are 5 basic forms - the C form, A form, G form, E form and D form, spelling CAGED. Each of these forms come from the basic open chords you already now. They can be shifted up the neck to form other chords, but they always retain their shape. For each chord shape, there is a scale shape that fits around the chord. This remains the same as you shift the chord up the neck.

Please have a look at my blog post on the CAGED shapes and make sure you understand the 5 basic shapes.

You can find part 2 of the CAGED system lesson here - moving between the 2 chords E and D using the various CAGED shapes.

I’m going to repost this as our starting point. CAGED system using C form, then C and D form. The video shows you how to solo over a chord progression - E to D.

Also have a look at my blog post on the CAGED shapes and make sure you understand the 5 shapes.
