        Hello,I was wondering where or which video to start with for caged?
        Also, was there a four part Hendrix rhythm course?
        Thanks

          Hi Francis,
          I think this was Brian’s original CAGED lesson. Jut put CAGED in the lessons search box and all the other CAGED lessons will pop up. I’m pretty sure Brian deleted the Hendrix course as he didn’t think it was “Hendrixy” enough.

            Here’s how I learned CAGED: I bought a baritone uke, which is tuned like the top 4 strings of a guitar. Then I learned all the CAGED positions on it very quickly. The CAGED chords are super easy to play on a baritone uke, with its small neck and soft nylon strings. Then when I transitioned back to guitar, it was easy to just add in the bottom two strings.

              Once logged into Active Melody, go to My Account > My Courses and you will find a mini-course on the CAGED system. It’s another resource to help get you going.
