Jeffery has been a staple of the L.A. music scene for more than 20 years. Jeffery left his humble upbringings in Northern Michigan to attend Hollywood's own Musicians Institute in 1989. Upon graduating, he quickly immersed himself in the local music scene playing in a variety of bands, one of which included the band Hardware featuring Tod Howarth of Frehley's Comet, Ted Nugent, and Cheap Trick fame.

Have you reached a point in your playing where having greater knowledge of the fretboard is paramount for your progress? If so, this lesson series is for you! Musicians Institute instructor Jeff Marshall provides a bottom up approach to learning the entirety of the fretboard using the basic CAGED system
Welcome to Inside and Out with Jeff Marshall! In this lesson series, Jeff takes a bottom up approach to fret board proficiency. Using the CAGED system, he builds off of familiar open chord shapes to unlock the fretboard for not only chords, but arpeggio's scales and the beginnings of solo and improvisation. If you're looking for a better handle on the fretboard, this is the lesson series for you!

To get started off with the series, Jeff discusses how the CAGED system is used, then goes over the major chord shapes in that system. This lesson and the rest of the course will be taught in the key of D.

Now that you know the basic triad chord shapes in the CAGED system, you can now start adding triad arpeggios on top of those shapes. Jeff Marshall shows you how!

The next step in the learning process is to take the triad arpeggios you previously learned and apply them to the Major Pentatonic patterns in the CAGED boxes.

Now that you have the major pentatonic under your fingers, we add two additional notes to create a full major scale in the associated CAGED boxes.
12:48 Runtime
2.5 Difficulty
Now that you have the full major scale under your fingers, Jeff takes a step back and get's a bit outside of CAGED for this lesson. Depending on the situation, you may find it necessary to step out of bounds to player more comfortably or in a stylistic manner. Jeff discusses the possibilities that knowing the full major scale patterns open up for major pentatonic playing.

Many guitarists start with learning chords, before scales, but logically, chords come from scales. In lesson 14, Jeff teaches the major scale pattern across the neck and discusses harmonizing it in diads and triad chords.
