Question On Caged System

Jun 16 2011, 03:20 PM	GMC:er Posts: 409 Joined: 18-June 09 From: Surrey, UK	Hi I am reading the article " Caged, Part 1 - Introduction and the C Shape" by Andrew Cockburn (https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=2944). Starting from a C chord/major scale if we move two steps up we get a D chord/scale. Clear and easy. Then he says: "In our key of D (2 frets up remember), the associated chords would be G and A. Using the C shape of CAGED, working with the key of D, which we now understand means moving up 2 frets, means that we can play G and A using exactly the same chord shapes, just moved up a couple of frets, like this:..." I really do not understand this, can someone help me? Carmine You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I can't understand, why talking about A shape while explaining the C shape? Carmine You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I can't understand, why talking about A shape while explaining the C shape? Carmine It's called "A shape" because the CAGED system is based on the following 5 open chords positions... C shape A shape G shape E shape D shape The CAGED system explains that every chord can be played in 5 different shapes. Every shape is identified by the equivalent open chord name... here you have an example with the chord D. D (D shape) D (C shape) D (A shape) D (G shape) D (E shape) Does it make sense now?

You can "slide" these shapes anywhere on the neck, and get various chords, depending where you "land" You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Had a long chat with Gabriel today and things are clearer but still confusing for me. Thanks in advance Carmine You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Had a long chat with Gabriel today and things are clearer but still confusing for me. Thanks in advance Carmine Exactly what part is confusing mate? The CAGED system features 5 positions on the fretboard for playing different chords. As Gab explained, there are 5 different open string chords. When you shift the chords horizontally, you'll get 5 positions. Check out Gab's post, and see how he goes through 5 positions of a D chord on the neck. These 5 positions are the foundation of the CAGED system. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

The relation between the caged system and the scale. For example on the pentatonic scale above from your lesson which shape are you using?
