My motivation is to teach any & all students what they want & need to know in order to play guitar. I did do a long post on CAGED (linked by John of MT, thanks!) here:

But over the years I've found it much more efficient to simply teach the material, then provide links. Saves everyone time & confusion. Gets right to the purpose of the site: to teach guitar with video lessons.

This is another thing that motivates me & has been a long term goal of mine: to be able to answer any question a guitar student might have with a link to an existing tutorial that shows them how to solve their problem.

In fact, I spent most of last year scripting, filming & producing the 128 video lessons in those triad tutorials containing detailed break down explanations, backing track play alongs & notations.

Long story, short version. You don't have to use the CAGED system. I think it is a confusing & limited system. I think learning basic major & minor triad shapes is much easier, more efficient & more musical. I teach it in these tutorials.
