The CAGED System - The Anatomy of a C major chord. It takes quite a long time for us guitarists to see chords for what they really are: a batch of specific notes chosen from the scale. We tend to see chords as compact groupings of notes in familiar patterns but that's not really the full picture. Because chords are just a selection of notes, and notes repeat themselves all over the fretboard, then it follows that chords also repeat themselves all over the fretboard. They do that in a very specific way, and that's what this lesson is all about. Lets look at a C major chord.

C is always a good example because the key of C uses all natural notes, so there are no pesky # or b signs to muddle the brain. The C chord is the result of selecting the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes of the C scale. If you mark all the C, E and G notes on a guitar fretboard, this is what you get: ... which looks like this as dots. This is the pattern made by all the chord tones of C. They then start repeating past the 12th fret, one octave above: Here they are again: To The Only God Chords by Glory Revealed.

On a guitar, tuning the strings in fifths would mean the first string would be a high B, something that was was impractical until recently. [citation needed] The NST provides a good approximation to all-fifths tuning. Like other regular tunings, NST allows chord fingerings to be shifted from one set of strings to another. NST's C-G range is wider, both lower and higher, than the E-E range of standard tuning in which the strings are tuned to the open notes E-A-D-G-B-E.

NST was developed by Robert Fripp, a guitarist for King Crimson. The NST has required greater attention to strings than has standard tuning. History[edit] The open strings of new standard tuning Play New standard tuning (NST) was invented by Robert Fripp of King Crimson in September 1983.[1][2] Fripp began using the tuning in 1985 before beginning his Guitar Craft seminars,[3][4] which have taught the tuning to three thousand guitarists.[5]

Download the Scale Patterns for NST from my public folder here. California Guitar Trio has a totally unique sound which is clear, lower and higher than normal guitar sound. I kept wondering what could be the cause for this after hearing them in concert last year. I went to another concert by them last month and this time, did some research on their guitar training and past history. Turns out the three of them (Paul Richards from Utah, Bert Lams from Belgium, Hideyo Moriya from Japan) were trained by Robert Fripp in his Guitar Craft method of guitar playing over three years in England after which they’ve been playing together using the techniques and tuning learned there for the last two decades.

So I researched Robert Fripp’s history and found that he is quite a genius of a guitarist. The story goes that a new tuning “flew by him” while he was in a sauna. This tuning is lower by a third and higher by a third octave, compared to the standard guitar tuning (EADGBE).
