CAGED essentials
Basic tips for "mapping" your fretboard
Root-note positions (FREE)
- Let’s learn the position of the Root note (first degree) within each individual CAGED shape.
- Then, let’s see how Root notes are shared by two neighboring shapes.
Intervals on the fretboard: string by string
- See the location of every degree (3rd, 5th, etc.) on the fretboard, in relation to the Root note.
Simplifying it all: Same-fret intervals
- Knowing the degrees present on adjacent strings, yet aligned on the same fret, provides an automatic shortcut for pinpointing the locations of the notes you need to play.
