Capo on in three steps

Keep the chord shapes you already know and play the song in the key you need.

  1. 1

    Pick the fret

    Each fret raises the pitch by a half step. With the capo on the 2nd fret, a G shape sounds as A.

  2. 2

    Clamp just behind the fret

    Place the capo close to the fret wire, not on top of it, with the bar parallel to the fret. The strings stay in tune and stop buzzing.

  3. 3

    Check the tuning

    Strum once and check with a tuner. If a string pulls sharp, ease the pressure a little or move the capo closer to the fret.
