Tips on Playing Chord Inversions on Guitar

Video Transcript

Hi, this is Joe Wiles and I'm with the Rock and Roll Conservatory on behalf of Expert Village. To wrap this up we've explored the three significant chords in the CAGED keys. If you remember it's the one, four, five sequence. It goes for the key of G A B C D. One, two, three, four, five. G C D. That works with any of the CAGED keys. We took that and we formed all five positions up the neck of the G C D pattern. You could do that with any of the CAGED keys. The A D E D pattern that we went over in a previous step goes like this. Okay? But, if you work on your own and find the second position of an A chord using the CAGED Method that we went over in a previous step. Second fret, next chord formed is a G chord. The D would be a C form on the second fret. And that E would be a D form on the second fret. So altogether it would be something like this. That would be the key of A. These sequences and chord forms come up a lot. These sequences and chord forms come up a lot as you're studying the guitar. To be a superior guitar player you want to be able to access the full neck of the guitar. That kind of concludes my simplified version of the CAGED Method. There's a lot more to it and if you want to know a little bit more about it and get a more thorough study of it I'd encourage you to pick up Bill Edward's book "Fretboard Logistics." Thanks for watching. I hope you'll watch my other videos in this category. Take care.
