although I know and understand the CAGED system.. personally I've never really got along with it that well..
ok that's not 100% true.. I guess I could say I use bits of it on occasion..
but I certainly don't use it as my principle means of navigating the neck

It's great to know where the notes are.
But CAGED is so much more.
Try this thread for some of the potential:

I do understand the caged system and how it works, but the benefits? Not so much.

So, for the E-style chord:
E (root)
E over G# (first inversion, basically the C-shape chord starting on 4th fret) and
"E over B" (2nd inversion, basically A-shape chord, starting on 7th fret).
And for A-style chord:
A (root, x0222x)
A over C# (first inversion, x4222x)
A over E(2nd inversion, D-shaped chord on 7th fret, x 7 7 9 10 9)
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
I've used the CAGED system and I've aIso used the 3NPS method, both are good methods.
Below are my diagrams for C Major using the 3NPS method for symmetrical P4 tuning on a 7 string, they can easily be adapted to use for standard tuning on 6 string, my main point is that they show the repeating notes on the fretboard.
