In this Fender Play LIVE session, host Eugene Edwards is joined by Fender tone expert Dylan Caligiuri and special guest Brian Whelan to break down how the CAGED system is used on the classic Creedence Clearwater Revival song, “Bad Moon Rising.” Brian and Eugene explain how the solo incorporates the vocal melody of the song. Diving into the CAGED system, Brian Whelan demonstrates the different open chord patterns and how they can be inverted or used further down the neck as a technique to create guitar solos.
