CAGED Scales and Modes


Steve Gilson

This is one of the easiest ways of using CAGED principles in order to play over 6 of the 7 modes.
(The Locrian mode is a bit of an odd ball so I'll discuss separately).

For details check my YouTube video “Learning Modes Using the CAGED system” video which
works through this in more detail. https://youtu.be/fGc0h7qPqeo

Note: The Scale 2 column shows common alternate fingerings of each scale shape, just chose one
that suits you.
