CAGED system - fully explained (with animated guitar fretboard)

In this animated video I show you how the CAGED system is constructed and explain how to derive triads from it to build chord-progressions with perfect voice-leading. Musical examples are included in the last part of this video. Everything is shown with an animated guitar fretboard - the editing took me weeks.

Great video! The diagram is really clear, it's easy for me to see what the shapes are and where the notes are on the neck. Plus it's useful having your video of you playing on the side to watch.


The ping pong animation hurt my head though! I recommend changing it to something where each note just lights up.


Keep up the great work :)
