Today we answer the question “What does a capo do to the chords in a song and the key that we’re playing in?"
A capo is a simple but powerful tool that alters the pitch of your guitar strings by clamping them at a specific fret.
This effectively changes the guitar’s tuning, allowing you to:
1. Play in different keys without changing chord shapes.
2. Make difficult chords easier to play by shifting to more familiar shapes.
3. Create different tonal qualities by using open-string voicings higher up the neck.
