Hi Bryce.
Is not fair that you could take direct lessons from Brian !!! 😉 Now I understand how do you become a master…
Nice ML, Also, I’ve found useful your CAGED explanation, I think I’ve been using it without knowing.
thanks

Superb.. somehow I don’t think you realise just how good a player you are Bryce.

Good, bad, moderate. It is all relative to you are being compared to. I just try to have fun and learn all I can! Thanks Billy for the kind words.

Shogi, but you need her ( your wife ) at your side.
The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete
It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

Hey Bryce,
Great job on ML046 neighbor.
Also your caged system mini lesson is helpful. A lot of the particular chords you talked about were used in EP 140, which is one of my favorite lessons in the key of C. Brian calls the G shape C chord an E over C I believe in that lesson. It’s one I use a lot. But your point was the whole concept you discussed of practical ways to apply the caged concept can help us all.
Next time I’m in Nashville I’ve got to stop in to Gruhn’s and get one of those cool Gruhn’s Tee shirts. I’ll pass on seeing his reptile collection however.

First, nice job on your challenge submission. Very good playing. As for the Caged system, I would think it would be a tremendous help to know, when trying to play lead using chord tones instead of scales. I’m not that advanced, so I don’t know. But in theory I would think they would go hand in hand.

That is definitely an approach to soloing. Those who play over chords do this. I’m not quite there with my soloing. I’m primarily a Pentatonic scale soloist.

Nice demonstration of these sweet little fill licks in ML46, Bryce. I can see these going into your stage playing immediately, if not already.

Your rhythm playing is top notch Bryce.
Very cool and thanks for the caged lesson as well.

Good playing on this, Bryce.
I think your explanation of using CAGED is good, even though I’m not a fan of the caged system. My reason is simple, it outlines five basic open chords when there are really only three. A and G are the same. So are C and D. How is that useful? Learn the triads for those on each group of three strings. That gets you about 90% of where you need to be. It’s simpler. And it ends up being more useful.

I agree in practical terms, Duffy, but the five CAGED voicings do help locate all the triad inversions on all string sets as well as the 6 string arpeggios. Each voicing connects root to root to the next voicing and all this makes CAGED a good fretboard knowledge exercise. Also, some small chord voicings ar more G than A shaped or C than D shaped and vice versa.

Bryce, great job on both the ML as well as your follow up video on the CAGED system. It is definitely more worthwhile finding these “A-ha!” epiphany moments that simply copying what someone else played (although I’m a firm believer that many hours of copying what others played lead to such epiphany moments…). For me, your video reinforced the obvious (to others but not so obvious to me) that when exploring these alternative voicings you don’t have to play every string. For me, a personal light bulb went on when you showed that G shaped C chord- I instantly thought Hendrix. Thank you for sharing, im sure many others will take a lot of value from this!

Great playing, Bryce, and so neat to see how your knowledge of the fretboard is expanding.

Bryce,
Great groove! I love the energy that you have in your playing lately. I feel like your own ‘voice’ as a guitar player is really coming through and it’s awesome, Bryce!
Loved it.
Cheers, Debra -

Very good Bryce! You played a cool blues; I love something like that. Regardless, the information in your second video is very nice and always usable. I am always looking for variants and ideas. Such hints are very supportive for your own inventions. It always results in new variants of it. I think it never ends. And that’s just as well!
Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

Very nice lesson, Bryce and thank you for the CAGED system explanation.

I know the system but still feel ‘caged’ 😂😂
Nice jam -

Echo all the comments above. You definitely have found your own voice on the Guitar, looks like you have a good knack for teaching as well.
Play Loud!

You made that sound easy, Bryce. And thanks for the discourse on the CAGED system. I’ve learned it in the past, but I tend to forget it due to lack of use.

Well played, Bryce. It’s amazing how good these little MLs sound as standalones. But they almost “invite” you to expand them and experiment. That’s why I like them so much. Thanks for the CAGED-video, too!

Well done Bryce, and thanks for the extra lesson. I will come back to it when I have more time – it looked comprehensive.

Great playing, Bryce! Impressive to see and hear you play as good on the acoustic as on your electric guitars and you really master this kind of tunes as well.
Regards,
Patrick
