One of the most difficult things about guitar playing is visualizing harmonic and melodic relationships across the strings and up and down the length of the neck. Jimi Hendrix solved this problem by using simple triads and pentatonics as a framework for his music, as did the Nashville studio musicians who pioneered the CAGED method. Jazz guitar greats including Joe Pass employed CAGED as the kernel they used to master complex harmonic and melodic music on the guitar.
Understanding tonality as a mandala – a situation in which each note has a unique quality and function in relationship to the key center, and to all other notes of the key - brings greater meaning and utility to the forms employed in the CAGED method.
In this workshop, master guitarist & composer Joseph Brenna will introduce participants to the Mandala of Tonality and the CAGED method, and demonstrate how to gain mastery of melody and harmony on the guitar through the application of these principles & forms to rhythm guitar, solos, chord-melody, and composition.
