New to CAGED?

Press and look at the shape by the nut - that is the open C chord you already know. Now press : the same C shape has moved up to frets 9-12, and the shape at the nut is the open A chord.

That is the whole idea. Five chord shapes you already play, each one movable anywhere on the neck, and they always follow each other in the same order: C, A, G, E, D.
