    For the CAGED system, most people are E/A and their minors constantly, D rarely, C almost never and G, absolutely never

      Agreed, although C with open strings up the neck (2 frets to play a D) can sound quite nice, also the F shape (just top 4 strings rest muted) works as well if you like your Jimi.

        When I got lessons, back in the early 70's (so obviously pre internet) my teacher constantly tried to teach Eb chords using an open D slid up a fret and barred. When you're 7 years old and playing a classical guitar with the action of a cheese grater, that's nigh on impossible. Years later, I kinda 'discovered' CAGED without knowing it had a name, and it filled in a lot of holes.

          I only learnt the 5 positions of the pentatonic and major/minor pentatonic scales a couple of years ago after finally getting proper lessons having fudged it for over 20 years...

          Doing a lot of modal stuff now and some more interesting jazzy type of scales and arpeggios. If I can play jazz improv I'll die happy.

              Bloody hell. I'd always assumed you were just born that way.

                Any venue would be a step up, haven't played a venue since about 1993

                  Dude, being this offensive takes training and practice......

                  Talking of which, how are you, ya baldy c**t ?

                  You were sadly missed at the Bute 10K this year. The bloke dressed as a clown carrying the two buckets of coins reckoned he'd probably be last cause you weren't there :-)

                    You carried 2 buckets of coins round an island full of pissed up weedgies? Very brave. I noticed they'd moved the race 2 weeks earlier in the year, so my training calendar was completely upset - there's no way i'd have got up to a whole evenings JD and coke drinking in the available time

                      Don't know the joke but this is how I started back in the 70's:

                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
