来源：Unlocking the CAGED Chord Systemhttp://www.learningtoplaytheguitar.net/unlocking-caged-chord-system/For many guitarists the CAGED chord system is a mystery that needs to be unlocked. Just as it takes metal bars to build a cage funnily enough bar chords are also built into the CAGED chord system. The term CAGED comes from the open string C A G E and D chord shapes used on the guitar neck.Using these 5 shapes you can play the notes of the C major chord (C E and G) in various positions along the guitar neck. The first shape is the regular diagonal shape used to play the open string C chord. The next shape used is the 5 string version of the C major bar chord. Here the 3 notes in a row on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th strings come from the A major chord shape. The next shape to be stacked on top in the diagram comes from the G chord shape. The shapes continue up the neck using the E and D chord shapes until you return to the C major chord shape again at the 12 fret.对于许多吉他手来说，CAGED和弦系统是一个需要解开的谜。

就像需要金属杆来建造一个笼子一样，有趣的是，杆和弦也被建造进了CAGED和弦系统。

CAGED这个词来自吉他琴颈上的C、A、G、E、D和弦。

使用这5种形状，你可以在吉他琴颈的不同位置演奏C大调和弦(C E和G)的音符。

第一个形状是用于演奏开弦C和弦的规则对角形状。

下一个使用的形状是5弦版本的C大调和弦。

在这里，第二，第三和第四弦的三个连续的音符来自于a大调和弦。

下一个要在图上叠加的形状来自于G弦形状。

这些形状使用E和弦和D和弦继续延伸到琴颈，直到你在12和弦的时候回到C大调和弦。

Another example of the CAGED system shown below uses the G chord with the 5 chord shapes along the guitar neck. In this case the shapes start with the open string G chord followed by the E shape at the 3rd fret which is the standard G major bar chord. After this the chords follow the D C and A shapes until it all repeats with the G chord shape at the 12th fret.下面显示的另一个CAGED系统的例子使用了G和弦，它沿着琴颈有5个和弦形状。

在这种情况下，形状从开放弦G和弦开始，接着是E和弦，这是标准的G大调和弦。

在这之后，和弦跟随D、C和A的形状，直到它在第12小节重复G和弦的形状。

Using Parts of The CAGED Chord Shapes使用部分CAGED和弦形状You’ll quickly discover that some of these shapes are very awkward to play. In reality you don’t really play the entire shape but only part of it. For example for the D chord shape you often just use the triangle shape on the first 3 strings and for the G chord shape only the first 4 strings are used.你很快就会发现，其中一些形状很难玩。

在现实中，你并不是真的在玩整个形状，而是它的一部分。

例如，对于D和弦形状，通常只对前3根弦使用三角形形状，而对于G和弦形状，只使用前4根弦。

The CAGED chord system also works for minor chords and other types of chords such as dominant 7ths. To be a great guitarist especially in styles such as jazz it is essential to know your CAGED chord shapes up and down the guitar neck for all types of chords. Here are the shapes and positions for C minor and C dominant 7 chords.CAGED和弦系统也适用于小和弦和其他类型的和弦，如属音7和弦。

要成为一个伟大的吉他手，特别是在风格，如爵士乐，这是必要的，了解你的CAGED和弦形状向上和向下的吉他琴颈所有类型的和弦。

这是C小调和C大调7和弦的形状和位置。

And here are the shapes and positions for G minor and G dominant 7 chords.这是G小调和G属7和弦的形状和位置。

Now we’ve unlocked the CAGED chord system we will next look at how the CAGED chord system is used in songs to play riffs, arpeggios and solos.现在我们已经打开了CAGED和弦系统，接下来我们来看看CAGED和弦系统在歌曲中是如何被用来演奏连复段，琶音和独奏的。
