I didn't ever learn scale boxes using the caged method, instead I learned them in relation to the root notes on the guitar. See green notes:
I do however think that the caged method is a good way for many people to look at this. But in order to share my personal experience, here is one method which I used to learn to switch between boxes. 1 First learn at least two adjacent boxes of the scale I am working on, and memorize where the root notes are placed (this super important, in order to use those scales in other keys). for example: and: 2 find a suitable backing track for the scale I am working on. For example "Jam track major" in this lesson (its in C major well): https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Scales...ic-Lead-Guitar/ 3 learn/write a lick in each scale box 4 Practice those two licks over the backing track, and most importantly practice switching between them. In order to develop a non predictable "box switching" technique, you should switch using different strings and fingers. So for example slide on the D string to get from lick 1 to lick 2, next time slide on G string, next time slide on the G string but slide with a different finger etc etc This is a musical approach to learning this. There are also more mathematical/exercise ways of learning it -and some argue that the advantages of doing it this way is that you will be less predictable with your position switching. However the disadvantage is that this kind of practising can get very boring , and does not enhance yoour musical capabilities (which is what really matters). As long as you consciously work on coming up with variations and don't fear the box switching that feels uncomfortable at start - my method will work great, even in the long run. ---- Disclaimer: I am not referring to switching boxer shorts, that is a different topic and must be handled with care |
