The “CAGED” system for the guitar

544 views

Can somebody explain to me what the reasoning or the “philosophy” behind it is? I know ( moreso accepted because I haven’t really applied it ) how it looks on the guitar with the shapes and such but It’s not connecting ( coming to me in a holistic way if that makes sense )

The standard guitar tuning is closely related to blues and the blues scale. The strings of the guitar are all of the natural notes in the E blues scale (they’re also the notes in the E minor pentatonic scale as well), and as a result of that tuning system the chords C, D, E, G, and A can be played with open strings.
