The CAGED System: Unlocking the Guitar

-
 The CAGED System: Unlocking the Guitar Neck ## 🔑 What Is the CAGED System? The **CAGED system** is a way of visualizing the guitar fretboard using five basic chord shapes:   **C – A – G – E – D**. These shapes aren’t just open chords—they’re movable frameworks that help you understand **chords**, **scales**, and **arpeggios** across the entire neck.

  That’s a really good observation — and it’s quite a common one with Les Pauls and other Gibson-style guitars. The neck pickup tends to tarnish faster than the bridge pickup for a few simple but interconnected reasons: 🎸 1.  Proximity to Your Hands and Sweat The neck pickup sits right under where your picking hand rests during playing, especially if you strum near the neck or play rhythm parts. Sweat, skin oils, and moisture from your fingers transfer to the pickup cover. Even tiny amounts of sweat (which is slightly acidic and salty) can corrode nickel or chrome plating over time. By contrast, the bridge pickup is further away and gets less direct exposure. 🌡️ 2.  Temperature and Moisture Differences The neck pickup is closer to the warmth of your body, especially when you’re playing seated or standing with the guitar pressed against your torso. That warmth encourages condensation and oxidation to form more easily on metal parts. ⚙️ 3...
