CAGED Basics II | 8 | Pentatonic Pit Stop

Where to Start • Lesson Archive • Recommended Lesson PlanBook a Private Lesson

Hi Everyone,

This one might look different because I moved my studio while filming this course.

This is the 8th lesson in my CAGED Basics II series, where I'm systematically working through the relationship between major and minor chord shapes in the CAGED System and how the Pentatonic Scales can overlay on top of this info. In this lesson, we're diving into the relationship between the G Shape and the E shape. You'll start with an exercise to help you think about the Fix or Foreshadow situations involved in switching between these two shapes, and you'll end with a fun tune that spans the G Shape and E shape.

Please note: I played the practice track a little fast because my software required it, but you don't need to play the tune faster than 85BPM to move on to the next lesson, which will be out soon!

Check out the PDF as well!

IMPORTANT NOTE: The practice tracks continuously loop the tune so you can practice. You only need to play the tune well one time to move on.

Practice Tracks:
60BPM (slowest)
75BPM
90BPM
105BPM

Quick note that the instructions say to play at 85bpm to move on but the track speeds are 75 and 90. Also it'd be nice if there was a chapter break at 8:15 for Practice 1. This is cool though!

Thank you! Really cool practice. I've been wanting to connect the shapes easier and I think a practice like this will really help. First time seeing the "pit stop".

Hey everyone! This was supposed to come out on Monday, but I've had a weird week. I'm also going to have to skip Office Hours this week, but I'll post it for next week soon so you can get your questions in.
