CAGED system G shape

This lesson looks at the C chord in the G shape.

This one isn't as hard as you might think - we're not playing a full G shape over all 6 strings, just a few of the notes from it. Many of the licks here are the same as with the Major Pentatonic Scale, but we're choosing to centre around the notes highlighted on the fretboard diagram for this lesson.

Lesson aims

1. Learn to play the C chord with the G shape
2. Practice using the G shape to transition between the A shape and the E shape
3. Try using this shape in other keys
