Once you learn how to play the C,A,G,E, and D chords in open position, then learn how to play them at higher positions, e.g., the first fret. Then connect them up the fretboard in that order. Say you play a barred C major chord shape at the third fret. Your pinky finger is on the 6th fret of the fifth string, which is the root. This is E flat, and that is the chord you are playing. Now move up and play a barred A chord shape using that E flat 6th fret/fifth string as the root. You are still playing an E flat major chord but in the A shape. It goes up from there for G, E, and D shapes. Then each chord shape has its own box of major scale notes. |

How have you tried to learn it? It's pretty much self-explanatory. I learned from books many many years ago but now there have to be hundreds if not thousands of free resources online. yea youtube has several.still don't get it. |

Chords? What the fuck are chords for?
I'm just a lowly self-taught 4-stringer, don't mind me |

I've been playing for 20 years, I've never heard of the CAGED system. After googling it looks like crap to me

I've been playing for most of my life, and I've never heard of it.
Disclaimer: I enjoy playing, but I don't really geek out on it. |

It never worked out for me. I do it the way the old-timers did. I stick to flat picking open chords for that full guitar sound and when I have to switch to lead I'll go with barre chords primarily on the top three strings. Once you learn the three basic chord family shapes it gets very easy up the neck. I don't know what that method is called.
Oh, and the Nashville Numbers. That's a biggie in my world. |

I'm sorry man, I'm not trying to be a dick, but if you really wanted to learn, you would have gone out and done it by now. Get some lessons and set aside time every day for it. |
