Movie Reviews of CAGED Guitar System - How to Build and Use Chord Inversions and Arpeggio Patterns On the Fretboard. Acoustic and Electric Guitar Theory By Desi Serna
Movie Review: Much better than you'd expect
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a huge collection of guitar books and dvds and was not really sure I needed another one when I bought this DVD. Many other books and dvds discuss the CAGED system and I already knew what it was all about. However, I was very surprised by how much I learned from this DVD. I really think this guy must be an outstanding teacher.
Serna is very clear and concise in his instruction. His statements are short and to the point. He not only walks through the CAGED chord forms, but follows them up with a natural introduction to arpeggios, chord fragments, and inversions. I have never seen an easier review of these often confusing concepts. He provides suggested practice tips are fast, simple and very clever. As I watched him go through his practice routines, I knew I would be doing them for a lifetime.
Another great feature is that he relates his teachings to familiar songs by popular artists. This really gives the viewer a great way to apply what they have learned. No corny background music or unfamiliar musical examples. I found myself pulling out old tab books to test what I had learned.
The pace of the DVD is also great. Serna keeps the material coming; not too fast, not too slow. I hate the long boring pauses that exist in many instruction guides. Little touches like an easy to use DVD menu are nice as well. I am always surprised how other guitar lesson DVDs skimp on this important convenience.
I also noticed that the video and camera work were of great quality. The camera provides clear views of finger placement. Many DVDs show the guitarists hands at a poor angle or with such poor lighting that it is impossible to really tell exactly what they are doing. In this video, it was very easy to see exacty what was being played.
After watching this DVD I was so impressed I ordered his other DVDS and they all rate five stars as well in my book. (The DVD on modes is the best I have ever seen). In a sea of poor quality instruction, this is an outstanding series that will save the intermediate player years of learning the hard way. Highly recommended.

Summary of CAGED Guitar System - How to Build and Use Chord Inversions and Arpeggio Patterns On the Fretboard. Acoustic and Electric Guitar Theory By Desi Serna
This video program is intended for intermediate to advanced level guitar players who are already comfortable using standard open and barre chords to play songs. You can sign up to view a free preview at the author's website.There are literally thousands of different kinds of chords and chord shapes that can be played on the guitar, but did you know that most can be traced back to just 5 common open forms? The 5 forms are C, A, G, E, and D. What's that spell? Caged.
Each one of these chords can be barred and moved around the fretboard. Each bar chord can be played as a full arpeggio pattern which includes all possible chord tones in a given position. These arpeggio patterns can then be broken up into all sorts of chord inversions, shapes and voicings.
Topics covered include:
- Creating moveable chord shapes
- Mapping out arpeggio patterns
- Playing partial chord shapes and inversions
- Connecting chords and covering the whole fretboard
- Playing progressions in different positions
- What CAGED songs you should look up and learn
Understanding how the guitar CAGED system works is essential for further chord construction and music theory study. And great rhythm guitar players don't necessarily use strange chords, they just know how to freshen up common progressions with unique shapes and interesting voicings.
This video program will teach you the CAGED system, how to use it and how each form relates to your favorite songs. The CAGED Template Chord System DVD is taught by music theory expert, guitar teacher and publisher Desi Serna and is based on Fretboard Theory Chapter 3. This lesson material is suitable for both acoustic and electric guitar.
