    Transposition chart for capo

    A capo, or capo tasto in full length, is a device used for change the key without changing the
    tuning. You just attach the capo around the guitar neck on a fret that you chose and the pitch is
    raised (place the capo over the fretboard as you would do with your index finger playing a barre
    chord, e.i. close to the fret). Sometimes you will see notes like "Capo 3" or "Capo 5". This means
    that you would attach the capo around the guitar neck on these frets.

    The capo is not at least a splendid solution if you find it difficult to


    playbarre chords. With the assistance of a capo you can rearrange the barre chords to open
    chords in new positions see the chart below. The capo is also a great tool for those who want to
    find new ways in theres guitar playing.

    The chart below is a guide that helps you find the right chord using a capo.

    Comment
    On the top you see the chord names and below them diagrams with chord shapes. The numbers
    to the left indicate on which fret the capo is placed. If you place the capo on the third fret and
    play the Am chord shape, we find out by the chart that the result will be a Cm chord. You can of

    Am
    A#m/Bbm
    Bm
    Cm
    C#m/Dbm
    Dm
    D#m/Ebm
    Em

    course go further than the seventh fret, but it will be very short of room for your fingers. See
    picture of fretboard with notes.

    Examples of how the chord changes


    C Capo 2 = D | C Capo 4 = E | C Capo 5 = F
    D Capo 2 = E | D Capo 3 = F | D Capo 5 = G
    E Capo 1 = F | E Capo 3 = G | E Capo 5 = A
    G Capo 2 = A | G Capo 4 = B | G Capo 5 = C
    A Capo 2 = B | A Capo 3 = C | A Capo 5 = D
    Dm Capo 2 = Em | Dm Capo 3 = Fm | Dm Capo 5 = Gm
    Em Capo 1 = Fm | Em Capo 3 = Gm | Em Capo 5 = Am
    Am Capo 2 = Bm | Am Capo 3 = Cm | Am Capo 5 = Dm

    Examples of how the key changes


    If you play with a capo on 2nd fret a song with chords like G, C and D will sounding like A major.
    If you play with a capo on 4th fret a song with chords like C, F and G will sounding like E major.
    You probably get it now...

    Choose the right capo


    There are many models of a capo nowadays and therefore the price fluctuates a bit. The cheapest
    ones with just an elastic band can be bought for a few dollars. But I would recommend capos
    that are specially made to fit an arched or a plain guitar neck. The price for these capos varies
    between 20 and 40 dollars.
