    The CAGED system summarizes: 1. The C, A, G, E, and D chord shapes can be connected to cover the entire guitar neck. 2. Each chord shape has a root note that matches up with the root of another chord shape. 3. By connecting the chord shapes, guitarists can play any key or scale in different positions on the neck.

    CAGED system for guitar explained

    Are you more comfortable with some areas of the neck than others? Can you easily
    change keys? Do you connect chords with their scales? The CAGED system of thinking will
    make all of your playing easier. Once you know the chords C, A, G, E, and D you actually
    know enough about the fretboard to play in any key and with any scale.
    Keep these things in mind to get the most out of this system:
    1. Every shape you play is moveable;
    2. Learning the notes on the neck will pay you back double in ease of playing and
    knowledge;
    3. Connect your ear to your hand - practice recognizing the sound with the shape of
    intervals and chords. Memorizing where the root, 3rd and 5th are in your chord shapes is
    a great start, especially for the C, A, G, E and D chords.

    The CAGED System


    The CAGED shapes are there on your guitar neck and you may have noticed some of
    these similarities before. The idea is that you can cover the entire neck of the guitar
    with these five chord shapes: C, A, G, E and D. If you look at the root of each of these
    chords they all match up like puzzle pieces.
    Let’s learn C on the entire neck as our example.
    C
    Start with the C chord shape. There are two roots in this shape. One on the B string and
    one on the A string.

    A
    The next chord is A. Its root is on both the A and G strings, so C and A have a root on the
    A string. That means that if you drag A up to C you have a new shape for C.

    G
    Next up is G. This chord shape has the root on the G and E strings. The G string root
    lines up with the G string root in the A shape. That means we can drag the G chord shape
    up to fit with the A chord shape.

    E
    Two more left. The E shape has the root on the E strings and the D string. Since both the
    G shape and the E shape have the root on the E strings E is our connecting shape.

    D
    Last is the D chord. D has a root on two strings, the D and B strings. Just like with the
    other chords. Since the E shape has a root on the D string, D fits nicely next.

    Back Again
    Since the D shape has one more root left over and the C shape had an un-paired root on
    the B string let’s connect them to complete the circle!

    Arpeggio
    Fill in the chord tones and you can play the arpeggio up the entire neck.

    This is what each chord shape looks like when you add the surrounding chord tones.
    These are 100% moveable shapes. If you know where the root is and the note your root is

    on then you can play any chord anywhere on the neck.
