Fretboard Mapping - Tuesday March 11 - 6:30pm-8pm
An introduction to the CAGED system emphasizing the high value proposition that every single thing you learn on guitar is actually 11 other things.
The CAGED system is a method used to understand and navigate the guitar fretboard more effectively. Based on five basic chord shapes, C-A-G-E-D, the system provides a framework for organizing and memorizing the fretboard, which can greatly improve your ability to play solos, chord progressions, and understand music theory on the guitar.

| Instructor Bio: | Steve Knight traded his skateboard for a Synsonics/JCPenney guitar (with built-in, 9 volt-powered speaker) in the early 90s, much to the delight of his mother. At Emporia State University, he split his time between the theatre department and the music department, playing in pit orchestras, the big band, and the faculty combo, all the while teaching guitar at ESU Academy and Flint Hills Music. Steve's first step into the professional jazz world came in the living room of noted jazz pedagogue, author, and guitarist Dr. Wayne Goins at Kansas State University. Wayne's unique approach as a professional first, academic second, inspired Steve to pursue the music further by moving to New York where he was lucky to study with luminaries in the field like Jack Wilkins, Mark Whitfield, Peter Bernstein, Mark Sherman, and Jim Ridl. Steve moved to Chicago in the spring of 2016 and began teaching and playing full time, further refining his craft with the help of local jazz heavies Scott Hesse, Jim Trompeter, Ernie Adams, and Henry Johnson. His album Persistence (2022) garnered 4 stars and was named one of the Best Albums of the Year in Downbeat Magazine. Steve plays Benedetto and Collings guitars and Henriksen and Fender amps. |
