Caitlin's highlights
Scales
Scales
Scales are the musical alphabet in which we communicate. We will cover several scales in this course and form an understanding that every scale can be derived from the major scale, making ALL scales simple to learn!
Triads
Triads
Triads are the building blocks of chords, so they are vital for any pro guitarist's knowledge. Triads will allow us to build larger chords as well as map out chord tones to land on while improvising and soloing.
Modes
Modes
Modes can be used to enhance improvisation whether we are playing in one tonal center or multiple different tonal centers.

This course has completely changed my way of becoming more proficient at playing the guitar. Prior to this course, I knew about the CAGED system. After taking the course, my approach changed 180 degrees in how I approach learning new things on the guitar. Now I use the CAGED system as a foundation to learn and to use new concepts on the guitar, whether playing rhythm or lead guitar. I also discovered that other courses I have taken, either on Til or elsewhere, have allowed me to understand these courses and apply the concepts more effectively because their foundation is based on the CAGED system. And Caitlin herself is not only a great teacher but a fantastic person. Her enthusiasm for teaching the guitar never wanes. She teaches another course called Secret Weapons. But I believe this course, CAGED Connections, is the secret weapon.

Caitlin is an amazing instructor! She is very passionate about teaching others the instrument she loves so dearly and wants to make it as easy for students to grasp the concepts as possible. Caitlin is able to explain things in a way that makes sense and will take the time to answer any questions if there is any confusion. She is a ball of positivity and energy and lesson time has become the part of my week that I look forward to the most. You will not regret choosing Caitlin as your instructor!

If you're ready to move beyond cowboy chords, one or two boxes of the pentatonic scale, and randomly messing around on the fretboard until things sound good, take this class! Caitlin understands music theory and is able to communicate how to put it into practice from basic principles. Her genre breakdowns are methodical and reveal that she's got deep insights only years of experience can bring. Plus, she's willing to tackle any question you have whether beginner or advanced. So if you've been playing for a while and you're ready to take your skills to the next level, sign up with Caitlin!
