CAGED is a solid approach to learning shapes.

Caged can help guitarists go from open chords and 1 pentatonic pattern, to playing the right notes all across the fretboard!

Sounds great, right?!

Not so fast.

The sticking point may come when trying to play chord tone solos, find another voicing for a favorite chord, and grasping music fundamentals.

Certain CAGED shapes do NOT align with triads. For Example, you may think the highest 3 notes in a G shape are a G chord, right? Wrong - it's missing a note (the 5th).

Learning chord shapes that do not correspond to scale patterns is a huge miss, and can lead guitarists astray.

A Major Chord + A Major Scale = Good

A Major Chord shape + 3rd Inversion A Major Pentatonic = Confusion

If you need to be in flow state to play well, fewer steps is better.

CAGED is a start, but not the complete picture, and should be transcended sooner - not later.

If CAGED is your preference for unpacking a song, and playing the shapes across the fretboard, it is time to step up your guitar knowledge!
