CAGED Clarity

Connect the dots. See the fretboard. Unlock true fretboard freedom.


Most guitarists learn chords, scales and patterns…but never truly see how everything fits together. CAGED Clarity fixes that.


This ebook gives you a clear, step-by-step roadmap to finally understanding how chords, arpeggios, pentatonics and full scales all live inside the same shapes — across the entire neck. No guesswork. No shape-hunting. No theory overwhelm.


Whether you’re a self-taught player or an experienced guitarist looking to break out of boxes, CAGED Clarity shows you exactly how to build complete fretboard awareness using one simple, logical framework: the CAGED shapes.


What you’ll learn


Master the Root octave shapes

The true foundation of CAGED - instantly find any note anywhere, and link shapes with confidence.

See every major and minor shape clearly

C-Shape, A-Shape, G-Shape, E-Shape, D-Shape (and their minor equivalents) broken down into clean diagrams, interval maps, and fingerings.

Connect chords, arpeggios, pentatonics and scales

Learn how each layer grows from the last so you never treat scales and chords as separate ideas again.

Visualise and play all over the neck

Move freely between shapes, link positions, and understand how the entire fretboard fits together without memorising endless “positions”.

Develop real improvisational freedom

Learn how to solo over chord changes using chord tones, pentatonics, and diatonic scales in the same area of the neck: the actual skill great players rely on.

What’s inside

You get 120+ pages of clear, structured instruction including:

  • Every major and minor CAGED shape
  • Chords, triads, arpeggios, pentatonics & 7-note scales for each shape
  • Interval diagrams and full-range TABs
  • Practice routines for memorising the shapes
  • Exercises for linking CAGED patterns in real time

"CAGED Clarity" is exactly the right name for this book.

It's simply the most methodical, and clearly written book on mastering the CAGED system - and thereby mastering the fretboard - than any other resource you'll find out there".''


Adam Price, Washington, DC, USA



"I’ve been playing the guitar, mostly by ear, without reference to much music theory, for about 25 years. I’ve been wanting to fill in the gaps I have a Music Theory.

This course is well organized, and detailed and is helping me to learn applicable guitar theory,theory that is useful in my playing and writing.

I’ve had access to a number of Ry’s educational materials and like them all. His videos, his writing are all crystal clear. Ry uses sound educational philosophy - he’s an organized teacher. I’ve been a teacher (aviation) for 40 years. I know what good teaching looks like."


Brett Zukowski, SC USA



 “If you have ventured out into the online world looking for videos on the CAGED Chord system, then like me you have probably found it to be overwhelming and to say the least, downright confusing. “  

 “CAGED Clarity is clear, specific, and honest. The entire E-book is pieced together from start to finish to benefit your guitar learning experience on the CAGED system. You won’t be disappointed!

Brad Chase, Canada



"The book is dissected into digestible chunks for easy understanding of the lessons and properly sequenced but don't take my word for it. My best suggestion is to try it by yourself and I am sure that you'll be happy with your improvements and understanding. 🤗


Marco Deoferio, Qatar



"Ry’s guitar courses are always progressive, structured, and enjoyable to complete. The CAGED Clarity course is no different and will lead the student to quickly recognize chords, arpeggios, pentatonic, and diatonic scale patterns by understanding the CAGED principles.

I have applied these specific CAGED course tools to improvise chord tones and develop my creative chord progressions using the excellent course material. This course can also help me to improvise or write future solos."


Gordon Lynch, UK
