The CAGED system is a system for learning to play guitar chords anywhere on the fretboard. It is based on the idea that the major chords C, A, G, E, and D (suitably barred) can be moved up the neck to create the other 12 major chords.
Figures 1 through 5 show E major played in the various shapes of the CAGED system. Figures 6 through 8 show different chords played using the E shape.
