Chord Notes
Bar / Nut

By connecting five open chord shapes the entire fretboard can be mapped out. The CAGED system is named after the chords used in the system, the C, A, G, E and D chords. The open chord shapes used in the CAGED system is often well known and therefore well suited to derive new knowledge upon.

The CAGED system will show how to play over the entire fretboard moving shapes and also how to change shape to be able to play in the same position, it will also show the root pattern as a guide to navigate the fretboard.

Practical implications

As seen above:

  • In the same position different chords can be played if changing chord shape.
  • Open chords can be converted to movable barre-chords.
  • The same chord can be played in different positions if changing chord shape.

The same scale can be played in different positions if changing scale shape.

Here you can find more information on scale degrees and musical key. And here you can create fretboard charts for any scale in any key and tuning.

Happy playing!

By connecting five open chord shapes the entire fretboard can be mapped out. The CAGED system is named after the chords used in the system, the C, A, G, E and D chords. The open chord shapes used in the CAGED system is often well known and therefore well suited to derive new knowledge upon.

The CAGED system will show how to play over the entire fretboard moving shapes and also how to change shape to be able to play in the same position, it will also show the root pattern as a guide to navigate the fretboard.

Practical implications

As seen above:

  • In the same position different chords can be played if changing chord shape.
  • Open chords can be converted to movable barre-chords.
  • The same chord can be played in different positions if changing chord shape.

The same scale can be played in different positions if changing scale shape.
