CAGED System – A basic explanation
ByHere’s another video on the CAGED system. CAGED is an acronym for the C chord, A chord, G chord, E chord and D chord, spelling CAGED. There are 5 different chord shapes that can be moved up and down the neck. For each shape there is a specific shape for the major scale that fits around the chord. This allows you to play in other keys using the 5 chord forms and related scale shapes as a guide.
