Yes, the essence of CAGED is that there are static chord shapes you can move up & down the fretboard to play any given chord by moving a shape to a different root note. And many of the triads & their inversions are contained in the CAGED patterns.

However, this is one reason I think that in some cases CAGED can hinder more than help. It makes more musical sense (conceptually to understand & perceptually to see chord tones) to simply understand the basic triads & inversions as fundamental units.

Yes, you've got the right idea. :) This tutorial covers CAGED for rhythm guitar in detail & explains exactly this concept.

[quote=bouncee]If I use close triads I will be able to play the chord progression with minimal movement.

Yes, that is covered in detail in the triads tutorials I linked above.

[quote=bouncee]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?

Yes, I explain that in CAGED for lead guitar. :)
