Mastering
the fingerboard is an enormous task that naturally takes many years of study
and practice. There are many systems and approaches available to students of
the guitar but the one system that seems to appeal to the widest variety of
students is the CAGED system.
<< Click Player Below for
a Video Excerpt>>
The CAGED system is an efficient way to break a 12-fret span (one octave) of
the fingerboard into five areas, each of which have their own major chord
form, arpeggio and major
 pentatonic
scale form. The companion EDCAG system functions similarly for minor chords.
Both of these systems are covered in great depth in Brad Carlton’s
CAGED
Cracked, one of TrueFire’s most popular study programs. Carlton also
recently released
CAGED Dominant, which maps out the Dominant chord system
accordingly.
This new CAGED Comping study program from Brad Carlton goes deep into
applications of the CAGED and EDCAG systems for comping and rhythm work.
Carlton covers the ubiquitous I IV V progression, in all five areas of the
fingerboard, using the major chord forms of the CAGED system. This will ea sily
quintuple your possibilities for comps and fills in virtually all styles of
music ranging from rock and blues to jazz and an endless variety of popular
music.
Carlton also covers five forms of the minor chord and all of their
associated arpeggios in the following minor chord progression: A minor, E
minor, D minor. You’ll work through two- and four-chord vamps and
progressions utilizing different forms in the same or adjacent positions on
the neck. Brad covers chord forms, arpeggios, pentatonic scales and the
modes.
The following two- and four-chord vamps and progressions are covered in
CAGED Comping:

If you, like most intermediate to
early advanced players, find that your bag of chord voicings and fills comes
up short a little too often, CAGED Comping will remedy that immediately.
Better yet, learning how to see and grip chords in virtually any position of
the fretboard will also open up endless possibilities for soloing,
improvisation and composition thus bringing you close to the fingerboard
mastery we all seek.
