Guitar Capo Chart
Play In (the written key) Sung in (count down to the singing key, then Capo)
How to use the above Capo Chart?
For Example
If people request a song to be sung in A Key, But the Score is written in G (You Play in G), you need to Capo 2nd Fret and You Play in G
If people request a song to be sung in Eb Key, But the Score is written in A (You Play in A), you need to Capo 6th Fret and You Play in A
If people request a song to be sung in B Key, But the Score is written in E (You Play in E), you need to Capo 7th Fret and You Play in E
How to know where to Capo without referring to the Capo Chart?
Use the Fingering Chord shape of the key (You press the G chord), move down the fret and count down
To put it simply, play in the written key, then count down to the singing key.
For Example
If the Song is sung in key A, but the chords are written in key G (hence you are forced to play in G), Press in G Shape Chord on the guitar with your finger then move down, (G#, A), Hence Capo 2 fret down and play in G.
If the song in sung in key E, but the chords are written in key A (hence you are forced to play in A), Press in A Shape Chord on the guitar with your finger then move down, (A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E), Hence Capo 7 fret down and play in A.
If the song is sung in key B, but the chords are written in key E (hence you are forced play in E), Press in E Shape chord on the guitar with your finger then move down, (F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B), Hence Capo 7 fret down and play in E.
The weakness of using Capo is, you can only move up, cannot move down
For example, if the song in play in D, but sung in C, you can't use Capo already
