"Hi, this is Joe Wiles with the rock-n-roll conservatory for behalf Expert Village. We're going to talk about the 1 4 5 pattern, these are basically the 3 significantly chords in any of the caged keys. Well any key in general but we are going to focus on the caged key on these series of segments. The caged keys are CAGED the key of C the 1 4 5 and the key of C is easier to figure out if you just use your hand. We are going to count on the musical alphabet without sharps or flats or anything like that. Just basically counting the musical alphabet in cycle them till be get to G back to A. In the key of C we count C as one, then you know C D E F G, the 1 3 4 5 and the key C is C F G, are the significant chords and the key of C. Let's do that with a key of A, the key of A if we count A as 1 and count up the musical alphabet with no sharps or flats we go A B C D E, so we have A D E as the significant chords in the key of A. A D E is the 1 4 5 in the key of A. Let's do that for one other key, key of D, in the key of D if we count D as the 1 D E F G A, D G A is the 1 4 5, the three significant chords in the key of D. In the next segment we're going to explore the key of G more thoroughly so I hope you join me I'll see you then."
