⬇CAGED SYSTEM on guitar EXPLAINED⬇
The CAGED system is a method of organizing the five basic chord forms (C, A, G, E, and D) found on the guitar neck. It provides a framework for understanding the relationships between these chords and their inversions, allowing guitarists to easily play and transpose chords up and down the neck. The name CAGED refers to the five chord shapes that form the basis of the system. See the youtube video masterclass on the CAGED system further down this page for an in-depth lesson.
Why is the CAGED system so effective on guitar?
The CAGED system is effective for guitar players because it helps them visualize the fretboard and understand the relationships between different chord shapes. This leads to improved chord transitions, better fretboard navigation, and the ability to play chord progressions in multiple positions. By breaking down the guitar neck into smaller, manageable sections, the CAGED system makes it easier for players to learn and memorize chords, and ultimately leads to a deeper understanding of the guitar and its capabilities.
How does the caged system on guitar help your lead playing and improvisation?
The CAGED system helps improve lead playing and improvisation on the guitar by giving players a way to understand the relationships between chords and scales on the fretboard. By seeing how the same notes can be played in different positions, players can expand their soloing options and add variety to their playing. The system can also help players visualize chord progressions as they solo over them, allowing for more intentional and cohesive improvisation. Additionally, by breaking down the fretboard into smaller, manageable sections, the CAGED system makes it easier for players to learn and memorize scales, modes, and arpeggios, leading to better technique and greater creativity in lead playing
