most certainly is i think, i learnt same material and taught it also, the caged system is fine, what really is a great idea , is learn chord construction (the theory0 and the print out some chord and scale diagrams , sit back with the guitar , and discover and write down all the chord shapes, i.e Get say G) G B D 1,3,5 then find the triad all over the neck. then minor triad , diminished and augmented, then add the 7th, 6th , 9th , and variations, you get to learn the neck well, its a great foundation to have for any style, t helps with improvisation, hear trainig , learning the neck soloing , ITs real beneificial do it while watching a movie !!

It's a very good topic, I think as I used to deal with the CAGED system quite a lot. I have to say that it helped my understanding of the fretboard a LOT. Of course depending on your goals it's up to You wether You want to learn something or not but I think knowing the notes on the neck is essential, it's like ABC or whatever.. I always felt like playing any good piece on the guitar and not knowing at least the foundations of theory behind it is like knowing a beautiful poem on a different language...It may be charming for those who listen to it, but at the same time You don't speak that language!!! Should there be any questions and you haven't got the slightest idea what to reply... and for me I think every new musical situation -playing together with somebody, or acc. dance or whatever-is a 'new question'. Well it's up to You: It's just depends how deep You want to go in music. By the way let me suggest Everyone some interesting books/programs that was very helpful for me: If You want to learn the notes just get fretboardwarrior and play it each day for a couple of minutes! It just take a little time, and It's free. There's a better program called absolutefretboard. It's not free, but gives you a much deeper knowledge (sheet music as well), and it's a fun interactive prg. as for the CAGED system: GSM - Guitar scales method, it's a VERY VERY useful interactive prg that helps You learn the scales (using the Caged s), and enjoyed a lot going through that! Gives You a lot of confidence while playing - knowing all scales in all positions, altough there are several things I miss from there, it gives You a very strong basic I think. Book: Hal Leonard: All scales in all positions for guitar a little bit different - not finishedd yet. I'm not any distributor for any of the above but would been very happy If somebody had told me abouth these infos before so I felt it may help some
