So dving into triads and chord voicing. Noticed the swap of root placement. So far I've looked at string 1+2+3 and 2+3+4, major and minor.

Then while practicing moving various shapes around the neck I came to think of the CAGED system. I struggled and gave up learning it a while back. But now I think I kind of think I had the wrong idea when trying to learn CAGED. I think the essens I got from CAGED was that it was just another way to fingering chords, or that the chords was the most important part. I think I fcuk'd up? Could it be that the various chord shaped was more for navigating the neck for partial chords ie triads and scales more then actual using the full CAGED finger setting?

If I use close triads I will be able to play the chord progression with minimal movement. And in every position there should be a scale close by too, yes? So that fills can be played rapidly in the pocket and not wasting beats moving hand up and down the fretboard?

I hope this is possible to understand. English not native to me.
