From the Founder
I spent years memorizing shapes without understanding how they fit together.
Once I finally saw how everything connected, the fretboard stopped feeling random.
I built these posters because I wanted the visual reference I wish I'd had from the beginning.

FAQ
The CAGED system breaks the fretboard into five repeating shapes — C, A, G, E, and D — that connect chords, scales, and arpeggios across the neck.
Once you lock them in, you’ll be able to solo, transpose, and navigate in any key with total clarity.
*Example shown in C Major.
This system is designed for guitarists of all skill levels who want to better understand how the fretboard connects.
It’s especially useful if you know some chords and scales but still feel stuck memorizing disconnected shapes — and want a more visual, organized way to connect chords, arpeggios, pentatonics & scales across the fretboard.
Both formats include the full CAGED system. Digital includes instant-access PDFs and print files, while the printed version includes professionally printed posters shipped to your door with digital access included.
Start with the CAGED Quickstart Roadmap, then work through the 5-Lesson Fretboard Connections Mini Course while using the visual guides alongside each lesson.
The Roadmap shows you where to start, the course walks you through the connections, and the visual guides stay with you as a reference while you practice.
