David Mead : CAGED
$2.53About David Mead : CAGED
Improve your guitar playing and master the fretboard with world renowned guitarist and best-selling author David Mead‘s CAGED guitar app.
The CAGED guitar system has been used by guitarists for decades to understand and map the guitar fretboard. The system is based on the relationship between the five basic chord patterns (C, A, G, E and D) and how they can be joined together to help you find any chord in any key wherever you are on the fretboard.
The David Mead : CAGED app gives you all the tools and information you need to master this trusted system quickly and efficiently.
The app contains:
- Eight easy to follow lessons that take you from the basics of chord construction to understanding the full power of the CAGED system across the fretboard.
- Each lesson includes interactive fretboard diagrams that allow you to see and hear the CAGED chord shapes, the notes and intervals they contain and the best way to play them on your guitar.
- Reference tools to help you visualise the entire CAGED fretboard in any key and to see the CAGED chord shapes around any root note.
- Exercises to help you practise the key parts of the CAGED theory and build up your knowledge wherever you are and whenever you want.
- Progress tracker to monitor your performance on each exercise and highlight where you can target your practice most effectively.

Looks like it could be a good app, but it's misformatted and words overwrite other words in the lessons making them illegible.

David mead is a genius, I also have some of his books. This app can teach novice guitarist's like me a great deal. I have only given it 4 stars because it is not without it's problems and programing glitches, its not at all a slick app and suffers from text over lapping text making some words very hard to read on my nexus 7, some extra content for this paid app would be good too. Overall though it's well worth buying

Simple, clear and easy to use. Huge help in understanding the fretboard. Sometimes hangs, so 4, but I'll change to 5 stars when that's fixed.

I've been playing for nearly 20 years so I wasn't sure this app would have much to teach me, but I've really enjoyed working through the lessons and games. The CAGED system is a really great way to unlock the fretboard and this is the best CAGED tutorial I've used. The app is simple, elegant and well designed and the games are quick enough to play while waiting for a bus or the kettle to boil!

This is a very comprehensive, well designed app that is loaded with tools and exercises that actually help you improve your understading of the fretboard. I find myself pulling it up all the time, even when standing in waiting lines somewhere. We need more apps like this!

I'm finding the exercises to be very helpful. I've seen an improvement in recognizing and finding notes and chords on the fretboard in just the first few days of using the app. The only feature I would request is a way to calculate your progress in the various exercises by only looking at the last 20 or so attempts. The way your progress is calculated now seems to be based on an average of every attempt at that exercise you've ever made. After you've been working on an exercise for a while, it becomes very hard to move that average.

The visual examples are backwards. Should have got my money back when I had the chance.
