CAGED works equally well for minor chords; we just adjust to use the open position minor chord shapes. We've seen E Minor, A Minor, and D Minor, but what about C Minor and G Minor? These unfortunately don't have easy shapes for open position. However, we can still learn their shapes and plug them into the CAGED method.

== Homework ==
* Revisit the open position chord shapes above, and make sure you can easily make them as barre chords.
* Arpeggiate each of the shapes, including the notes below the lowest-pitched root note.
* Pick random major and minor chords, and arpeggiate them up and down the fretboard, moving from one CAGED shape to the next (C > A > G > E > D > C ... C > D > E > G > A > C ...).
* Create or find some chord progressions from earlier lessons, and arpeggiate the chords, staying in roughly the same position, using the CAGED method. Try the same progressions in various positions on the neck.
** Repeat but try to move your position higher and higher up the neck throughout the progression. Then try the progression moving lower and lower.
