Five stages that take you from open chords to full fretboard fluency. Work through each stage at your own pace.
Learn the five fundamental open chord shapes — C, A, G, E, and D. These shapes never change no matter where you are on the neck. Master them here and you never have to relearn them.
Take D major and find every position on the neck using all 5 CAGED shapes. This is where the system clicks — same chord, five different homes. Once you can flow between them, the neck stops feeling random.
Expand to all five major chord roots — C, A, G, E, and D — each mapped across all 5 positions on the neck. This is the core of the CAGED system and where real fretboard fluency begins.
Learn the 5 minor pentatonic box patterns that live inside each CAGED shape. Connect the boxes across the neck and you'll never be stuck in one position while soloing again.
Put everything together. You'll be shown a chord shape on the fretboard and have to identify it from four options. Questions are drawn randomly from all 5 major chord sets and your score is tracked.
