Topic: Ernie Hawkins workshop

[uncle bud]

Ernie will do a concert and workshop in Harrisburg, PA, for the Susquehanna Folk Music Society on February 12. Can't beat the price at $14 for the workshop! I'd investigate whether Ernie will be doing the CAGED thing he does sometimes at workshops, so you know what you getting into.

What on earth is the "CAGED thing" ? What, like that pay per view programming on cable TV, blood sports, etc?

It is Chord Theory.  You can google it an get lots of hits.

Exactly, it's that Thunderdome concept. Two workshop students tossed into a cage with National guitars. Whoever comes out alive wins.

I couldn't for the life of me explain the CAGED system, but yes there's stuff on the web somewhere...

Essentially, it's a way to use the chord forms C, A, G, E and D, or pieces of them, as moveable forms up the neck.
Pretty straight forward, actually.
All for now.

Ernie Hawkins calls the C-A-G-E-D system is the "secret of the universe for guitar players".
