All caged shapes in one scale pattern.

[Lindsey]

As an addition to the Caged system I decided to finally write down all the chords in one scale shape. The idea isn't new to me, I always saw the chord shapes in the scale patterns but I haven't combined it with caged yet. I might do this with the other shapes as well. Maybe it's useful, maybe not with Caged, but it can't hurt to share

Three notes per string edition!

 

[Matt Wildcat]

Yesssss, this is great!!! Always a good idea to visualise something as, at least in my experience, it helps me to remember it for the future!! Thanks for sharing!!

 

[William B.]

I should try this too it's good

One of the reasons I love guitar. It's easier to memorize shapes/patterns than it is to memorize the notes of the fretboard!

Right. I know all the notes but I still visualise the patterns.

 

[Lindsey]

The 2nd shape. If I'll ever make a nicer version I'll share that too.

Thank you Lindsey

 

[William B.]

Yes thank you!

@Saphyra @William B.

No problem. I need to start using them myself too. They’re great for practicing arpeggios in a key/ chord progression.
Everything is in G major btw because that’s the key I’m using for practice but you can easily change the root.

For arpeggios and chord, I don't really have difficulties because I learnt it already on piano but it was more how I could use my hand better on guitar

Was going to try and make my own, but for now I saved them. Got a lot of stuff I still need to sort, it's a not so favorite thing to do

Once you get to it you might find other chord shapes in it too. I went with the first basic shapes but I'm sure there are more. Especially if you use inversions.

Should probably work more on the D, D minor and Diminished chords more. Was the Diminished the 7th chord of any key?
Got to redo the inversions lesson, I think I only did one and PG was just starting to get into it.

The 7th in a major key is Diminished. So in D major that's C#Dim.
In minor the 7th chord is major. In Dminor the 7th chord is Cmajor

The major keys are always: Major, minor, minor, Major, Major, Minor, Diminished
The minor keys are: Minor, Diminished, Major, Minor, Minor, Major, major

how I could use my hand better on guitar

How do you mean? Fret hand or strumming?
I don't think I've seen you play yet

 

[Christian Schulze]

Awesome @Lindsey !!!!!
I remember seeing you talk about this before.

Personally writing things down has always really helped me to!

Glad you did it!

No you didn't see me play at guitar you are right, I mean like I am a left-handed person who has only a right-handed guitar, I try to see how I can place my fingers

I don't remember
