Strummin in a CAGED

Another guest appearance from our head of education, Karl Kerfoot. This is a light pop tune in the key of C that will help to fine-tine your CAGED strumming skills.

Difficulty: 4/10

This song features:

• CAGED chord shapes strummed in C
• Ok ok - it's just the same chord over and over again but other guitarists will be very impressed!

Lesson

Your turn

Step forward and take the guitar. The whole band is here to support you.

Note:

• The guitar part Karl plays in this video is just an accompaniment.
• Your goal is to play what Karl taught you in the lesson breakdown.
• If playing all the different shapes is too difficult, take your time with each shape until you're feeling comfortable.
• You can loop the video (and all of our videos) by clicking and dragging on the TAB below.
