It's amazing how easy it is to find chords written out but there is very little about the individual notes. Thanks This is a great help.

That is, I know the scales fairly well, but I have problems knowing the right chords and where they are. I would like to use the games to set up a practice series with the games.

When you say start the scale on a g root, do you mean start the C major scale on the note "G"? In that case you would be playing the G Mixolydian mode. The CAGED system is usually approached as a relationship between one chord and one scale, which is the beauty of the system. Although there are of course other chords contained within the scales, they're usually thought of in regards to their own pattern. The C shaped major scale pattern contains the notes to both a major and minor pentatonic. For instance if you where playing in the key of F, using the C shape (it would be at the 5th fret) it contains the notes for F major pentatonic as well as D minor pentatonic. I find the best way to integrate major scales with pentatonics is to play the parallel major (F major pentatonic and F major) or parallel minor (D minor pentatoni and D minor) In Super Scale Trainer I would choose the follow CAGED mode and concentrate on one CAGED shape at a time. I would select the major, major pentaonic, major 7 arpeggio, etc. and get used to the similarities and differences between those. Then I would move on to the Aeolian mode (Natural Minor), minor pentatnoic, and minor 7 arpeggios. Again staying within one CAGED shape but in various places on the neck. Hope that helps!

If i start the scale on a g root ( 6th string), it is a g major chord? How can one learn what chords are within this shape? Can one use the scale trainer to do this? Also, what minor or major pentatonic scales can you play at a c shaped major scale? Is it the c minor pentatonic and __ major? What is the best way to intergrate the major scale with the pentatonic scales and chords. The C chaged shape is the first major scale shape, right?
