CAGED‪:‬

Effortless navigation of the entire fretboard is the Holy Grail for the advancing guitarist. The average guitar can produce between 96 and 150 different pitches. Mastery, therefore, may seem a daunting task. Enter the world-renowned system known as "CAGED." CAGED is a multifaceted system which uses the shapes of five first position chords (C, A, G, E, and D) as a device to recall relevant scales, triads, and arpeggios.



Through this unique method you will study one chord shape a week and master each of the following for all 12 keys as they appear anywhere on the fretboard:



Five first position chords and their movable versions

Five root shapes

Five major arpeggio patterns

Five major pentatonic patterns

Five diatonic major scale patterns

Five different series of "open" and "close" triad inversions



Exercises to improve ear training and improvising skills are included for each chord shape.
