怎样弹大横按：CAGED System

Hi. This is Hub Guitar.

The time is here to dig into some more advanced barre chords.

If you know a few barre chords already, you probably know that open chords can often be played as barre chords. For instance the open A major can turn into a barre chord and become B major.

But this concept goes a bit further. There's actually an easy way to play barre chords up and down the neck. It's called the "CAGED" system. There are actually some in depth explanations of this system and its uses but I don't recommend you get too deep into it. It is, however, a handy way to memorize how the chords go up the guitar neck.

First, we'll play the chords that the CAGED system stands for: C, A, G, E, D. Now we'll assemble them all as C major chords, which means the first one will be the open chord, and the rest will be barre chords.

So we've got an acronym that helps you remember the order of barre chords going up and down the neck. You can also use this to work out how to play chord progressions in a single position. Here's an example using I-Vi-IV-V in C.

So try it out, and decide for yourself if this method is useful for you. At any rate, you should learn to play the C, A, G E and D major chords as barre chords.
