JACK! Since I'm in the process of moving my office until the end of the month, let me answer here: Start by getting to know ONE shape, specifically getting to know which note(s) in the shape are the root note. Pick a few backing tracks to practice figuring out how to play along using ONE shape (all major chords for CAGED Basics I, or Major and minor for CAGED Basics II) - Then once you get the hang of it, add the shape next door and see if you can come up with variation you like, for example: two strums of C shape for E major chord, then one strum of A shape and one of C shape for the B Major Chord, then two strums of C shape for the A major chord. Happy to do a video example once I'm set back up, hopefully within a week here.

2024-11-22 18:49:51 +0000 UTCDon't know if I've missed the boat on this now, new here. Loving the lessons, but really struggling to apply the CAGED basics lessons in the practice. I feel like I understand it on paper but very quickly get lost on the guitar. Should I be memorising the notes o. The neck or the shapes of each voicing? Should I just keep practicing and let things settle in with time? Or am I missing something? Thanks!
