Two more CAGED positions videos complete the series for major scales. I've added the 'E' and 'D' caged videos. You'll find them under Guitar Scales. Now I'm not going to get too carried away with these CAGED position patterns... that's because I want to move on to the 'Pentatonic scales' and ideas for using 'Chord Tones' for soloing. Personally, I have gained much more value from those, rather than the CAGED system. But each to their own. ;-) Also, I think knowing about chords is more important than scale patterns for...

I was looking for a simple way to make tracks to demo various ideas for Guitar Toolbox. So... I downloaded Garageband for iPad. Cheap. But then... how to plug my guitar into the iPad? Also ordered the Amplitude iRig plugin adapter. That will arrive tomorrow, hopefully. You can buy this on Amazon here. Can't wait to try it all out. It should come in handy for making backing tracks Guitar Toolbox members can download. UPDATE: Well, I'm somewhat disappointed with the iRig. I tried it on both my...

Hehe... I just read a comment on one of my YouTube videos that made me laugh. Now, my Kiwi accent causes some people to make 'rude' comments. But others come to the rescue. But this comment, "Excellent tutorial.... the voice is like Dumbledore and somewhat teaches me magic" really tickled my fancy. Why? Well I think the commenter 'gets it'. He understands the bigger implication of the lesson in the video. Perhaps it gave him one of those "Ah-Ha!" moments. And when that happens it is indeed magic....

We're moving on to the next chord in the CAGED sequence. This lesson looks at moving the open 'A' chord to the 3rd fret to create a 'C' Chord. We then attach a C major scale pattern to the chord shape. As always, these chord shapes and scale patterns are movable. You can find the lesson videos here: CAGED 'A' Chord

Hey Joe (made famous) by Jimi Hendrix, was originally a folk song written by Boudleaux Bryant around 1953, I believe. This version by Tim O'Brien is a really good example of how a different feel and style can be applied to a song. I'm sure that with some careful watching and listening you can learn some new guitar playing "tricks" you can incorporate into your own playing style. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62db5rMc2ns Hmmm... Does Tim remind you of Eric Clapton doing his acoustic stuff!? Check it out and...

Rocksmith from Ubisoft have created a learn guitar method for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. But is it a sensible way to learn guitar? Can't see it myself. But then I haven't tested it. I may have to get it and try it out on my grandson's Xbox that I bought him a while ago. It may be fun. :) I think it's better following a...

Guitar chords come from scales. There are 7 chords in a scale. This new lessons shows how guitar chords are constructed.

In reality, there is just one scale a guitarist needs to learn first. That scale is the 'Major' scale. The Major scale is the 'source' of most modern music you like and love to play. Rock, blues, pop, rock 'n roll, folk, reggae, jazz etc. All the chords you play come from this scale. And there are other popular scales that also come from this major scale... Other scales I'm talking about the 'CAGED' and 'Pentatonic' scales. Fact is, they are part of the bigger-picture of...

OK, here you can let me know what new content (videos, articles etc) you'd like me to make to explain about theory, scales, chords or practicing. Remember... DON'T ask about songs or how to play them. (I may get into that later once we really have all the basic stuff out of the way.) I'm putting this here because I think you may get some ideas by reading each others suggestions. :) So fire away, leave your suggestions below.
