QUOTE (The Professor @ Dec 13 2013, 06:45 AM)  take one shape, say the C shape, and practice that in all 12 keys. Then do the A shape, G shape and so on until you've covered. That's a great way to work in all keys with CAGED. +1 to that. The only thing I would add to that is not to do it chromatically. That's way too easy for guitar players as you don't need to think at all - just move your hand. In order to retain the knowledge so you can use it and apply it to other keys quickly you'll need to 'think' a little while you're beginning to transpose. i.e., the circle of 4th's idea ... C F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb B (or Cb) E A D G *Or do that backwards from G (circle of 5th's) The next step is to pick a song that you already know that has maybe between 3 and 6 differently named chords. Play all the chords and learn the song using only one of the CAGED shapes - preferably a shape that you're not too familiar using. Next transpose that to a new key a 4th or 5th away. *Extra credit - take that same song and try to play all the chords in one position using the various CAGED shapes (you may have cheat a fret here and there). Then transpose that up a 4th. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

) at the moment, but in Dominant 7 shapes for the blues and I'm looking for ways to memorise everything...This being tied in with the major,minor/Maj Pent scales and Dom 7th arpeggios...So pretty similar to you ElHombre. I think this is good advice from The Prof and Klasaine.
