I´ve never been interested in CAGED, and after seeing that diagram, my only interest
is to explain why I don´t like it. First of all, what is called there A is not really A.
If it was placed in the 2nd fret, it would be a 2nd inversion of A, because it would be rooted in the
note E. So I would not recommend calling A something that isn´t (In the diagram the chord highlited as A is in fact a 2nd inversion of C!)
If you are a beginner, this would be
confuse. I´d say to you, you can learn patterns, which is useful in guitar, but better to name
them like "Pentatonic first shape" or "Tonic shape" rather than using unrelated names that use
incorrectly the music lexicon.
I suggest learning patterns, but use the correct names of the notes that you are playing. You´ll
develop a stronger basis. It ´ll be further better to learn the notes, learn the relationship between the notes
played, and then recognize the visual and mecanic pattern.
The sooner you start reading notes the better. Start with simple melodies, you´ll progress and every time it´ll get easier
(no matter your age!)
