Those of you familiar with barre chords will realise that each of these chords can be played anywhere up the neck. As we are now on a different fret the root note will be different than for the open chords above, so for example we have an A chord that uses the shape of the E open chord as the root notes are A’s when played at the 5th fret. Once again, the root notes are in red and occupy the corresponding position that they did in our open chords. We are looking at this material more to understand how to find the CAGED positions. For example the barre chord based on the G open chord is quite difficult. You do not need to be proficient at playing all these barre chords. Similarly the D chord here corresponds to the shape of the A open chord. My guess is most readers will be familiar with this chord. For example, the A barre chord here corresponds to the E shape of the original open chord. You can see that each of these chords corresponds to one of our original open chords. If we play these barre chords on the 5th fret we have: This involves moving the chord shape up the neck and using a barre to play what was the open strings in the original chord. The next step is to form barre chords out of each of these 5 chords. The red dots on the E chord are all E’s and this is the case for all 5 chords.įorming Barre Chords From Our 5 Open Chords So for example the red dots on the C chord are all C’s on the guitar neck. The red dot on each of the chords is the root of the chord and will indicate which chord it is. My guess is if your reading this you will already know these chords, but if not you can learn these chords and some other open chords in the open chords section of the site. Lets start by looking at the 5 most common open chords: Following this, I’ll show you how to view each of the 5 positions in terms of intervals and how to use this so that you can construct the pattern for any scale or arpeggio in any of these 5 positions yourself simply by knowing the intervals that comprise the scale. We will then look at the major scale in each of the 5 positions. This material is a great next step in viewing the fretboard after your proficient in the scales taught in my guitar scales section.įirst I’ll detail how the five positions are formed and where they are. The system breaks the neck up into 5 positions and you can then learn your scales and other material in each of these 5 positions. This may seem daunting, but by the end of this section I hope you will see that it’s quite achievable. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to construct the pattern for any scale or arpeggio yourself all the way up the guitar neck. The CAGED system is a way to look at the fretboard that will allow you to learn scales, chords and arpeggios all the way up the neck.
