Learn all the guitar chords fast! (1/2)

How to learn all your chords on the neck by using the CAGED sequence! 5 Primary chord voicings used to construct any kind of chord by applying chord formulas.

Here are the voicings for all 5 shapes reading from the lowest tone or string.

C shape = 1-3-5-1-3

A shape = 1-5-1-3-5

G shape = 1-3-5-1-3-1

E shape = 1-5-1-3-5-1

D shape = 1-5-1-3

The numbers indicate the degree or note from the scale in which the notes were taken. example.. the C major scale consists of the notes C=1 D=2 E=3 F=4 G=5 A=6 B=7. When constructing a chord using a Tertian (Thirds) method you would select a note, and from that point select every other note, till you have a total of three notes. That’s how easy it is!

Example…If I select C=1 then I would skip D=2 and select E=3, skip F=4 and select G=5 giving me three notes C=1-E=3-G=5, or 1-3-5. Any combination of these three notes will play a C Major chord. This process can be continued from each note of the scale giving you the diatonic corrasponding chords.

C Major, D minor,E minor,F Major,G Major, A minor (Relative Minor), and B minor flat 5th or diminished 5th.

These are the chords you would use to compose a chord progression or vamp for writing in the key of C Major.

a good exercise for learning this is to make a blank guitar neck grid sheet. Replace all the notes with numbers starting with C as 1. Use this to find all the CAGED shapes. It is also great for melodic phrasing when learning how to use target notes. Target notes are notes to stress or resolve to that best capture the essence of the chord you are soloing over.

Example… If I am soloing over a C major chord I would stress the notes C E G or even B if it was a Major 7 chord. From the same key you will notice that a D minor chord uses D,F,A, or 2-4-6. Stress those tones if that chord comes up. This is obviously a generic way to play but a good foundation for understanding target notes and melodic soloing.

Hope this helps!

Thanks
