LEADING WITH SeeDEGA!
E-BOOK
Featuring Secrets of
the CAGGED
(TM) Sequence
_____
by SeeDEGA creator
Joe Doran

    Joe Doran's latest guitar instruction book lays out an exciting "forms" approach to improvising lead lines over chords and progressions.  It reveals cutting-edge memory tools that leverage a handful of scale forms to play leads in different music styles.

Introducing: The CAGGED Scale-form Sequence
    Leading With SeeDEGA! is the first work to feature the "CAGGED" sequence. No, this is NOT the widely-known CAGED sequence of chord forms used to locate the same chord tone along the fret board. "CAGGED" refers to a sequence of  seven scale forms that provides an easy way to change or mix scales over chords to get the lead sounds guitarists are looking for... 

A Powerful Memory Tool for Creating Leads
   Those familiar with the seven major scale "modes" know they can be used to create different lead sounds (eg. "Spanish", pop, soul/blues, pure minor, etc.).  The problem is learning how to easily find, play and mix these scales over chords and progressions...
   And that's where the CAGGED sequence comes in.  It makes switching scale forms over chords to get different modal sounds a breeze... 

How Does CAGGED Work?
   Each of the five basic "chord forms" (C-A-G-E-D) has an associated scale form. "CAGGED" refers to a modulating sequence of these five basic scale forms. When two of the scale forms are doubled according to a certain rule, a sequence is created that reveals exactly what scale form to play over a chord form to achieve a characteristic I through VII "modal" sound.
    The rule of doubling is simple: any scale form used to evoke a modal sound a half-tone step from the next mode, will double to play both. In practice, this means doubling forms to play the III-IV and VI-I modes...
   The diagram on the right illustrates the "C-Root" CAGGED sequence:

     MODE:                I- II- III-IV-V-VI-VII
     C-Root:               C-A- G- G- E-  D-  C

      Matching scale-forms over chord forms using CAGGED is as easy as following the sequence.  Suppose we're playing a C-form chord and we want a III mode "Phrygian" Spanish sound over it? Just use the C-Root CAGGED sequence. It quickly tells us that we can use a G-form scale over the C-form chord (C-Root: C-A-G...) to produce a III mode "Spanish" sound...

   Joe Doran's new guitar instruction book details an integrated "forms" approach to the fret board, showing how sequences like SeeDEGA, CAGED and the scale-form "CAGGED" sequence can all work together...
   Leading With SeeDEGA explains the music theory behind the tools. It contains detailed progression examples, showing how to play and mix scale forms to create exciting leads,
and much more.

   The above illustrations show the C-ROOT CAGGED sequence.  Note the scale form order: C-A-G-G-E-D-C.
   This order reveals what scale form to play over a C-form chord to achieve a I through VII modal sound.

MODAL SOUNDS:

I    Ionian: Classic/pop standard
II   Dorian: minor blues/soulful
III  Phrygian: Spanish/exotic
IV  Lydian: airy, spacey/off-kilter
V   Mixolydian: folk/classic rock
VI  Aeolian: pure/deep minor
VII Locrian: ominous/metal
