CAGED System: You Can't Escape it!

This is a clip from a live lesson, which you can find here: https://youtube.com/live/Ja5jzJ6YxgU Guitar players can't escape the CAGED system because it's merely a description of how the guitar fingerboard is laid out. You can only ignore the CAGED system if you ignore scales, chords, and keys. In other words, if you're a guitar player playing pretty much any kind of music, the CAGED system will be unavoidable. However, a lot of people get confused and assume that the CAGED system is something to DO. In reality, it's not something to do, but something to observe on the guitar fingerboard.
