CAGED SYSTEM
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Where one starts with position 1 is the key I play in and then I can flow to the other positions.
And the same applies with the 5 postitions with the blues also having 5 positions.
Where you start with position 1 is the key you are in.
Or correct me if I am wrong.

FranDeStadler I started a thread on What is the CAGED system (P.s. This thread is a Sponsored ad for Guitar King. Norio is a not affiliated with Guitar King, me neither)
From what I understand, you;d apply the shapes (Position 1 being the C shape) - relative to the key your playing in. As I think you've described. So if I took the default CAGED shapes (Major chords), and jammed to a progression the Key of C, I'd have all the major scales notes to jam with. That would have a kinda nursery rhyme vibe to it (it's how i hear the major scale).
Where I found the CAGED theory real useful (vs The Blues Scales/Minor Pentatonic Shapes) - was being based around chords I knew (major/minor/7th's etc) I started to think vertically to connect chord shapes instead of laterally (E string to E string) running up and down a scale.
Certainly added a more melodic approach/feel to what I was playing.

V8 I've started to look into the CAGED system, too. After a veeeeeery long time playing this wonderful, frustrating instrument we've chosen. And what you describe (as I start out), is pretty much exactly what I've found to be the case. It's slow going, but the parts fall together neatly if you go at it steadily.
