Chords for How to Use a Capo | Guitar Lessons

[C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [Eb] _ [C] _
_ _ _ [A] This is a capo here, you're going to want one early on.
It's great for raising the key of a song so that maybe you have a higher voice and you
want to sing it [G] in a new key. _ _
_ That's normal, right?
And then you'll see the difference right away with the [Bb] guitar _ with the capo on.
You see that's much higher.
Sometimes you want to learn a song and it's too hard, you could use the capo to use chords
that you know to play a song that's in a different key.
There's many types of capos you could buy.
This is a pretty standard one, $15 or $17 at the store, but it's very easy to use.
It's like a clothespin.
_ You just put that like that, you clamp it on, easy.
_ _ _ Then I have another one here.
This one is a little more complicated, but _ this works just as well.
This is also about $15 or $17 at the store.
And this one's got a little clamp to it.
So you set that on the string, and then if you could see back here, there's sort of a
_ little pressurized clamp, and then you could just take it off like that. _ _ _ _ _
Then _ there's the kind like this.
This is the kind I use.
It's like $6 at the store.
So it's a little tricky to figure out at first.
It's got this little _ _ _ _ device there to make that happen, but that works great.
It's nice and cheap, $6.
And then this is nice.
This is very cheap.
This is $2 at the store.
In fact, I buy a whole bunch of these to give away to my students.
This has got like sort of an elastic material on it, you know.
And so you put this on the guitar like this, _ and you have to wrap this end over the top,
and stick it on one of these holes.
There's several holes to keep the tension on. _ _
_ _ And that's it.
And you take it off. _
So that's a capo, and you can use that for raising the pitch of the guitar, so you can
might, maybe it matches your voice a little better.
And also for using the chords that you know to play a song [C] in a different key.
