When he puts the capo on the second fret, the key moved up a whole step. Since he was in the key of G it moved to A because of the capo on the second fret.

[TheHibboTower]

is capo positioning is the same between 12Fret guitar and 14fret guitar?

[o0uberman0o]

that guitar sounds beautiful. i want an acoustic really bad.

[caseysorrells20]

If you move the capo up a whole step from G you would be playing in A. Right?

[samynight17]

you are a good teacher!

[finalshooter2]

you don't know how to play a G major chord properly :/

[galanoth17]

i'm just beginning learning guitar and music. I know a few chords and single notes. I don't understand how scales or different keys work. Where can i find more info about that something that's concise and quick to understand. I don't want too much theory

[fcutter678]

Thanks!

[Hypnixio]

some are for acoustic steelstringed and some are for classic nylon stringed guitars.

[investinottawa]

[leison24]

What kind of G is that? It doesn't look like the normal G maj chord.

[LTPDfilms]

hey imn trying to play collide b howie day on my electric gutair and u only use the 3 and 2 fret , and im susposed to put the capo on the 4th fret, so i did it and then when i held down the 3 fret and stuff it didnt change the pitch of the gutair, so is my capo to tight, or can u not use the frets behind the capo, that meaning if i put it on the 3fret will the 1 and 2 fret not change the pitch if i hold them down? help!

[realwolfcry]

No because the capo is acting as the "nut" on the guitar's neck and all the pitches would be based on where the capo is placed. You would play your chords / notes after (below) the capo and not above it. In your case, you'd play the "2nd" and "3rd" fret from the capo placement which would actually be the 6th and 7th fret originally.

[ITSCIM]

no it wont... you act as if the capo is the top.. like it starts over.. you count down 3 frets from thecapo

[dangelo91]

you would play 2 and 3 frets up from where you put the capo. if you play "behind" the capo it wont change a thing. so where ever you put the capo play it the same amount of frets from the capo you would playing regularly

[WeasleyGinnyPotter]

which capo is the ideal to use??? there are soo many to pick from.. well i looked at some on ebay bt donno which to pick

tnx..

[mypaprx3wllbleed]

I use the one guitar sage uses in his videos, the G7th capo. It's a little expensive, around $30 or so but it has never failed me and I use it all of the time. It's a very good investment

[WeasleyGinnyPotter]

Thank you!! i still didnt buy one bt i'll look at the G7ths

thanx again

[jggqggq]

When we put on a capo and play tabs are the numbers still counted like normal without a capo or is number 0 at where the capo is clipped ?

[jggqggq]

when we use a capo and are playing a song by tabs, the numbers are played as usual or the number 0 starts at where the capo is clipped ?

[walkerorr]

when you played one chord and said g, you meant g7 right. i was confused

[DerbyDamon93]

Right i have a question.

If a tab said to put a capo on the 1st fret and told you to place all your fingers on the first fret (example), would that mean put all your fingers on what would originally be the second fret.

[yourguitarsage]

Yes scoot your hand up however many frets you put the capo up.

[d00deiloveyew]

hi! i have a shub capo.

and i have no clue how to install it, would you mind telling me?

or directing me to a video or website that demonstrates the proper way? it'd mean so much!

thank youuu.

[martinstorer]

Great series of videos. You mention towards the end of this one that you have another video that goes into the transposing of keys theory in more detail... I've done a search but can't find it... any clues?

[yourguitarsage]

Try looking in my theory playlist. All those goodies are in there.

[kdrexler94]

that chord progression sounds like knockin on heavens door by bob dylan...by the way great lesson.

[whiteshadoz]

You are a great teacher !!

[yourguitarsage]

Try tightening it up if it's adjustable. If not, your string action may be too high keeping the strings from touching the fret.

[Malfunction69]

hey whenever i use a capo on my acoustic either the 6th string gets muted, or the 1st string gets muted. how do i fix this??

mark

[soulsniper7]

wow thank you you help me out alot

[Topdoginuk]

Explaining anything about capo use can be very difficult. You did a good job.
