The article is part of a series on learning guitar theory, focusing on the CAGED system. It aims to teach the five open chords: C, A, G, E, and D. These chords are foundational for understanding the system, and learners are encouraged to master them before progressing to more complex concepts. The article demonstrates how to utilize TypeScript for type safety in defining chord types and models note positions on the guitar fretboard, emphasizing the structured approach needed for effective chord visualization and application.
Weâll explore the CAGED system, starting with the foundation of five open chords that serve as building blocks for this approach.
Mastering these shapes is essential before advancing to more complex CAGED applications in future posts.
By defining the cagedChords array with TypeScript's as const assertion, we achieve two benefits: type safety throughout our application.
Each chord is represented as an array of NotePosition objects, capturing the exact placement of fingers on the fretboard.
