I own this course and find it to be quite helpful to me in my understanding of the Caged System for the guitar. This is a Guitar Instructional course that I would recommend to any guitar player who has the basic information and some basic theory already in hand. Brad Carlton covers a lot of information while he is demonstrating the concepts and you might find yourself stopping and going back over what he is saying so understanding some basic guitar theory would be recommended to get the most out of this course. At the same time the concepts concerning the Caged System for the guitar are easy to grasp the way that Mr. Carlton lays it down for you. Very recommended for the early intermediate to intermediate guitar player who wishes to expand his Theory knowledge on his way to mastering the guitar fretboard.

The CAGED system is something I stumbled upon late in life. I had heard about it but thought it was a gimic and that site reading and pentatonic patterns were enough...WRONG! Looking at the fretboard as Mr. Carlton presents it really opens up so much understanding of how the guitar is laid out. It will increase your understaanding of scales, arppegios and postion playing to no end. With a straight forward approach to teaching, this instructor will make light bulbs go off in your head. After focusing on the major groupings (CAGED) you will then readily slip into the minor groupings (EDCAG). Seriously, you won't look at your guitar neck the same way ever again....it becomes a world of possibilities. Highly reccomended for those with a little playing under their belt. If you can comfortably play barre chords up the neck....your ready for this one.
