Should I learn caged system in guitar?
CAGED is a useful tool to learn positions and how they interact all around the fretboard. It is not the only way to learn these things but it is a clear and intuitive way. CAGED works fine in any key including all sharp and flat keys so your F and B will not feel left out. I strongly recommend avoiding CAGED.
Is caged system worth it?
The CAGED system is worth learning because it brings the fretboard into order by providing a pattern. It increases the speed at which one learns and memorizes chords including the process of learning the major scale. Thus making learning other scales or modes a much more efficient process.
Is caged system bad?
But the CAGED system does not offer an actual explanation of scales and such and that's why it can be considered "bad". Sure, but it's not designed to offer an explanation of scales. It's just a way of moving particular chords anywhere so that you can maximize the efficiency of chord switching.
What is caged for guitar?
The CAGED system works by using common open chord shapes to map out the guitar neck into five distinct sections. It helps simplify the fretboard by revealing the relationship between common open chord shapes and note/interval arrangement on the guitar.
