How to learn all your chords on the neck by using the CAGED sequence! 5 Primary chord voicings used to construct any kind of chord by applying chord formulas.

Here are the voicings for all 5 shapes reading from the lowest tone or string.


C shape = 1-3-5-1-3

A shape = 1-5-1-3-5

G shape = 1-3-5-1-3-1

E shape = 1-5-1-3-5-1

D shape = 1-5-1-3

The numbers indicate the degree or note from the scale in which the notes were taken. example.. the C major scale consists of the notes C=1 D=2 E=3 F=4 G=5 A=6 B=7. When constructing a chord using a Tertian (Thirds) method you would select a note, and from that point select every other note, till you have a total of three notes. That's how easy it is!

Example...If I select C=1 then I would skip D=2 and select E=3, skip F=4 and select G=5 giving me three notes C=1-E=3-G=5, or 1-3-5. Any combination of these three notes will play a C Major chord. This process can be continued from each note of the scale giving you the diatonic corrasponding chords.

C Major, D minor,E minor,F Major,G Major, A minor (Relative Minor), and B minor flat 5th or diminished 5th.

These are the chords you would use to compose a chord progression or vamp for writing in the key of C Major.

a good exercise for learning this is to make a blank guitar neck grid sheet. Replace all the notes with numbers starting with C as 1. Use this to find all the CAGED shapes. It is also great for melodic phrasing when learning how to use target notes. Target notes are notes to stress or resolve to that best capture the essence of the chord you are soloing over.

Example... If I am soloing over a C major chord I would stress the notes C E G or even B if it was a Major 7 chord. From the same key you will notice that a D minor chord uses D,F,A, or 2-4-6. Stress those tones if that chord comes up. This is obviously a generic way to play but a good foundation for understanding target notes and melodic soloing.

Hope this helps!

Thanks

@258lemons Your very welcome my friend!!!!! you too!!!

[dukeT1102go]

:( i dont get it :(

[highintel]

Every chord you play in first position can be played in different parts of the neck (Meaning they are moveable) By that theory, that means one chord must have all 5 shapes, which means they all connect giving you all your selected chords. The shapes are movable to what name you choose. Pay attention to the beginning and read where it says please read. If you still don't get it then go pay for a guitar lesson because you will be less frustrated.

[highintel]

watch the first 1:20 over and over till it clicks what I am saying.

1. I give you the shapes. If you don't know them then learn them. 2. then explain how they are moveable. The secret is with the Nut. When you move them you have to replace the nut with your finger.
