At this level, any practice routine should be built around working towards your specific goals. Here I discuss how to practice the more advanced parts of this module, such as the CAGED system.
At this level, any practice routine should be built around working towards your specific goals. In this lesson, we talk a bit about that, plus how to practice the more advanced parts of this module, such as the CAGED system.
CAGED system Chord changes
Repeat for any changes that need more work.
C major to D major chord (using C major shape)
A major to Bb major (using the A major shape, which is the normal shape we are familiar with for Bb major)
G major (with alternate fingering/additional 4th string note) to A major (using G major shape)
F major to G major (using F major shape)
D major to E major (using D major shape)
Work towards being able to change between the normal shapes for a certain chord from the C, A, G, F or D and then move the shapes to other positions as recommended above or, to any chord that can be used in your practice routine.
Musical goals
As with previous practice routines, we have been looking at learning songs and building a repertoire. This is still really important to keep up with the songs we know. However, we are now at a stage where we can have certain categories and directions to take for our learning and goals to achieve within them.
This means, having your songs at the ready, which you play great and are rehearsed well for live performances.
Then songs you are working on, which may included jamming to original recordings at this stage.
If you have started to record your ideas from your practice, this can start building towards generating unique ideas, which may develop into your own song writing practice.
All these things contribute to a well rounded routine and it is great to continue to have goals so we can keep progressing!
