The Secrets of SeeDEGA            

   WHAT IS CAGED?  It's a fact: there are five basic moveable chord forms  that can be "linked" along the guitar fret board so that each chord form produces the same chord tone. The sequence order of chord forms that does the trick is C-A-G-E-D.  "CAGED" is easy to remember--and that's what makes it a powerful memory tool.
   The illustration below (fig. 1) shows how the CAGED sequence works. It’s important to understand that while the illustration presents five different chord forms, they will all produce the same chord tone (C Major in this case) when played at the fret positions shown.  Try it and see...
   Note that adjacent forms along the fret board share ”overlapping” tones. These are the  fingering positions  that "link" to the next chord form in the sequence along the neck.

Does CAGED always have to start with C?
    NO! Understand that the CAGED sequence modulates. This just means that if one were to begin with any of the five basic closed chord forms, the CAGED sequence could then be used to determine the next form(s) along the neck that produces the same music tone.
    For example, play an E-form chord somewhere on the neck.  What's the next form up the neck that can be used to produce the same tone?   Easy: a D-form chord.  Just recall that in the CAGED sequence, E is followed by D.

   CAGED is a highly useful memory tool.  Using it, the guitarist can quickly find different instances of the same chord tone along the fret board.  But CAGED represents only one aspect of the way chord forms can be used to remember/conceptualize the fret board.  While useful, the CAGED sequence conveys no information about finding sets of music key chords.
   That's where SeeDEGA comes in...

WHAT IS SeeDEGA?  SeeDEGA is a memory tool, like CAGED.  But SeeDEGA does something quite different.
   SeeDEGA is the memory tool that can help guitarists easily locate entire sets of music key chords at a given fret position area.  And it does it using the same five basic chord forms used by CAGED.
   Believe it or not, while people have known about the CAGED memory tool for many years, the SeeDEGA sequence has never been detailed in any book before Joe Doran's The SeeDEGA Method.  The fact is, there are thousands of websites and many books that have outlined the CAGED sequence.  But SeeDEGA is truly new, incredibly simple--and incredibly, overlooked as a powerful fretboard secret.  Until now.
