Hi Everyone,
I don't usually engage in clickbait and this video is no exception. I love the CAGED System, but there is certainly an aspect of the CAGED System that sucks. You mainly see it when you describe chords like this: G Shaped D Chord.
For some people, it's hard to think of a chord shape as anything other than a chord. So this lesson is about giving everyone a funny way to think about CAGED shapes as people names instead of the typical names for the shapes.
I hope you enjoy! If you think about CAGED Shapes differently or want to start a discussion about this lesson, feel free to leave a comment below or on the community forum.

I've concentrated on many aspects of learning the guitar in the last few years, including the CAGED system. Over the time, I got to know all the chord patterns, and all the fretboard positions. However, it was only after recently watching one of Scott's videos, that I experienced a serious light bulb moment, and grasped all the chord shapes in one individual position. It has been a unique experience, and I am learning more on the CAGED system each and every day ... thank-you so much Scott, my recent progress has been unbelievable!!!

For example: C Shape was named after open C Major chord/scale, and it is still C Shape when we play A minor chord/scale. Why we do not have "Shapes/patterns named after minor chords/scales" while we play minor chords/scales?
