The CAGED system is basically a cycle of 5 forms that would repeat endlessly if the guitar had an infinite octave range! The first form we will analyze will be the A-form. In the key of C the A-form is the closest form to the top of the neck of the guitar without using open strings. After playing through and absorbing this material.
A-Form of C Major. A-form C major 7th Arpeggio and Chord Imaj7. A-form G dominant 7th Arpeggio and Chord V7. A-form B minor 7b5 Arpeggio and Chord. The figures and links to figures above show how the A-form minor 7th ii7 chord and arpeggio fit over the A-form C major scale. They also show the same relationship between the A-form dominant 7th V7 and the A-form of the C-major scale.

These are called intervals and the intervals create a formula. The scale then wraps up with a higher root note known as the octave.
The root can also be written as roman numeral I. If we apply that formula to the key of C, the notes are as follows:. Musical students typically start learning this scale first because all seven notes are the seven natural notes, so there are no sharps or flats.
When a scale is harmonized, notes are combined in order to make a chord. To make a full chord, you need at least three notes from the scale. A major chord has the following three notes: the root, the major third, and the perfect fifth, or I — III — V. Apply this formula to any key, locate the notes on the neck in a particular position, and voila! A chord is born. To continue the harmonizing process, a scale is fully harmonized when each of the 7 seven intervals have been made into chords using the other notes of the same scale.
Without going too in depth into this portion, here is a brief illustration of what this looks like. Each degree of the scale, when using the every-other-note formula, creates a chord. This harmonized scale is now a chord scale.
So in a given key, there are seven possible chords. Each of those chords can be expanded on to create many more variations, but this is the basic structure of a key:. R major , ii minor , iii minor , IV major , V major , vi minor , vii 0 diminished. There is actually a lot more one can dive into with the idea of harmonizing a scale, but this really is as far as any guitarist needs to go to become a great guitar player who can teach themselves just about anything.
Feel free to dive into these subjects even more on your own, but we have enough here to be able to dive right into the CAGED System exercises. Before we jump into the exercises, here is a brief reference guide to the five major patterns and their minor counterparts. The major shapes will be the primary focus of our exercises as not all five of the minor shapes are as transferrable up the neck, at least not in a practical sense. For the minor chords, one can stick to the Am and Em shapes and be able to account for any minor chord.
Remember — all chords, no matter how advanced in their structure, are based on these simple shapes. You will see that these exercises will help make the chord world so much more accessible and less overwhelming.
In the first exercise, the idea is to take each chord and move it up the neck using the other four chord shapes. The above example uses the C chord. Take the original C chord and go back and forth with each chord shape. Hit the G-shape, then back to open C again. This works out your ability to change chords and move with efficiency up and down the neck. The trick is to plan ahead. Visualize the chord shape in the next position on the neck, mapping out in your mind where your fingers will go.
Once you have that mental picture, make the change. Above we have the chord shapes and their fingerings, just to remind ourselves of their orientation. So above we have the basic arpeggio shapes across line 1.
Line 2 holds the pentatonic scale, line 3 the diatonic scales and then finally the whole fretboard laid out with the diatonic scales — C and D shapes in white. And thats all folks for now. This is the list of all the articles that build up to this final short but sweet post. Honestly if you have worked on all the previous posts this one really is only just a short visual aide de memoire , hopefully it is now under your fingers. Best tip I can give you — spend a week in each key and practice it, in patterns, across the fretboard.
