I worked out my own way of thinking about the guitar in terms of 5 chord shapes related to 5 pentatonic shapes before I'd heard of the CAGED system. When I heard about it, I adapted my thinking to fit with the CAGED system
I think different players might use it in different ways. It underpins all of my thinking (and the way I hear things) on guitar.
It works for me but I know that it doesn't work for everyone. What I see as CAGED others might put another label on.
In terms of chords, the G (major) shape is a bit tricky but I just view it as a guide. You don't have to play the whole chord. There are many chords that can be based on adaptations of that shape.

I have no affiliation with the company but I thought I'd give them a plug because it's great software.
