How CAGED works
The open C, A, G, E and D chords are five movable shapes. Slide one up the neck and your index finger takes the place of the nut. In that order they link end to end, so each chord repeats in up to five shapes across the whole fretboard.
Amber dots are the roots each shape hangs on; the numbers under each diagram are the chord degrees (1, 3, 5, ♭7…). Partial voicings skip strings the full shape can't reach with this chord.
