Capo Basics for Beginners

What a capo changes, what it does not change, and how to use it with chord sheets.

What the capo does

A capo raises the sounding pitch while allowing you to keep familiar chord shapes. Always follow the capo position written on the song page.

Choose a comfortable key

If a song feels too high or too low, transpose and compare the result with a capo position that keeps the chord shapes comfortable.
