This System Is WAY Better Than The CAGED System For Guitar

  I was a guitar teacher at Edwards Music near Tampa. Bill Edwards wrote the Fretboard Logic book. Everyone seems to love or hate it. Every system has merit. I learned all my Barre chords and then then learned how to simplify them by playing three string triads. Bill and I had an argument once because I was teaching three note per string scales and he wanted me to teach his 5 position system only. No "system" is the only way. I've learned something useful from every approach. I've always felt inadequate because I can't shred but I never wanted to sound like a typewriter. I can play any pop,rock,blues or country song that I need to know and that is more important to me. I read Pat Martino's    system of building chords from diminished and augmented fingerings. I don't completely understand it but I did learn something from it. Thank you for your melodic and expressive approach to playing.

  This is SUCH A GREAT lesson. Please please make more of these, showing your thought process and different alternatives over chord progressions, this is FANTASTIC stuff.

  Cool thing about CAGED is that all of the triads are found within the system. Love your playing!

  Tim- I love the fact that you smile when you play. Your love of playing and joy it brings you is inspiring. I’m 53 and have been playing since I was 16. It will forever be my favorite hobby - and I will never get to play as often as I like due to my job and other commitments. I try to squeeze in an hour per day - some days it’s more. My favorite thing is improvising over pop and R&B songs with little to no guitar. I do the same thing. I write the chords down and keep them in front of me. I also have scale & chord charts on the walls in my guitar room. It helps when I get brain freeze! 🤣 Ultimately, I am constantly working to add more colors to my crayon box. Music is a life long learning and creative journey. I wish it was my full time profession but I would worry that it would stop being fun if it paid the bills. Keep teaching and inspiring! You’re a joy to watch. - Eddie the cruise vlogger on YouTube

  That was SO good Tim. You reinforced things I was doing for years that I thought were “wrong” because I’m self taught. Great to get validation and fresh perspectives from a pro such as yourself 🙌🏻

  This is great! I am 65 took some lessons and had a mentor, but had to learn a lot by ear and destroying records and needles!!! Kids have NO IDEA how much they have it made with a Pro Session Guy like Yourself just laying it out! <br>But one thing I am grateful for is the ear training I got doing it the way I did, plus it gives Me My Own Style! However You now help explain things and open new doors, You are such a great player and person. Someday I would love to meet and sit down with You, what a Dream that would be! You by far are one of My favorite Players!<br>Wishing You all My Best*
