Using a Capo
Tutorial: Part 2
This is where the capo comes in. We will put the capo here at the fifth fret, which enables us to play. I can play all the same chord fills, all the little licks with the chords, but now I am in the key of C, which suits my singer, and I have a happy singer, and we all know how important that is.
Let's try it again for another chord progression. Let's say we have got a chord progression in A minor, and we use that same exact logic, and we will transpose it to D minor. So I am playing in A minor shape, D minor shape, E major shape, and then A minor.
So my root, when I start out, my root, the A and A minor is here on the fifth string. So in order to transpose this to D minor we would have to find the D on the fifth string that can substitute for my open with the capo. So A, B, C, D. Again, all the natural notes are a whole step apart with the exception of B and C and E and F. So A, B, so B and C are half step apart, go up another whole step to D. I will play the same exact shapes: the A minor shape, the D minor shape, the E major shape. So I am playing the same chord progression, its now on the key of D minor, and I can keep all my voicings and all the little modifications that I do to my voicings.
The chord section starts out with a D chord, and uses the D to the D sus4. We have already seen those fingerings previously, so we are just adding the fourth finger. Then we will go to a C at ninth chord, and then to a G major.
