The guitar is very pattern oriented making it possible to move both chord & scale patterns across the fretboard.
This collection of tutorials covers basic triads & their inversions. These are the fundamental units you can use to visualize & play all possible major & minor chords across the fretboard. Barre chords are essentially combined, simplified versions of these.

[quote=ricka47]I guess that this is the CAGED system? Is there a tutorial here that can help me learn these?
CAGED is a slightly different conceptual way to get to essentially the same thing: visualizing movable major & minor chord shapes across the fretboard. Some students find triads & inversion easier to understand & apply. Others find CAGED makes more sense. They are just 2 different ways to appproach understanding the same information.
This tutorial covers visualizing CAGED chord shapes for playing rhythm guitar.
