In this video, we'll be combining the CAGED system, triads, major & minor scales, and major & minor pentatonic scales to create a fully fleshed out homebase on the guitar. The idea here is to pack every diatonic scale and every diatonic chord into one comfy little shape on the guitar fretboard. The great thing about building a homebase like this is that you can simply slide it up or down the fretboard to play in any key. This is one of the first steps to fully unlocking the guitar fretboard.

If you're interested in improvising guitar solos, writing your own songs, or jamming with other musicians, this lesson is for you!
