Wolf Marshall’s GUIDE TO C-A-G-E-D The C-A-G-E-D System is a useful method for organizing all styles of music on the guitar. It is based on five essential guitar chord forms found in the first position: C, A, G, E and D.
The C-A-G-E-D System provides a simple way of grouping melodies with their related chord shapes. That is useful for understanding the physical structure of guitar harmony, hearing note–to–chord relationships, and using chords and licks purposefully in your music.
