Thanks so much..was nearly in tears watching hours and hours of useless tutorials...your vid just clicked...you have a way of teaching..thanks from jupiter👌
I'm an experienced guitar player, and guitar instructor. As an instructor, I'm always looking for better ways to explain what are, initially, difficult concepts for students. I like this video lesson because it does exactly that. In general, it is an easy-to-understand lesson. However, the narration at the 1:30 mark (and several times after that) should be changed from ". . . to get 'the same sounding' chord. The only difference will be that it will be a little higher in pitch." This is confusing to learners because how can it be a 'same sounding chord' if it doesn't sound the same? I would recommend using the term "chord form" and change the narration to something like: "You can use the same G major chord form to create a higher sounding pitch." Also, a short sentence or two of describing the purpose of a capo, at the beginning of the video, before getting into how it works, would be beneficial as well, so that the video can stand on it's own as a complete presentation. A video with a narration track is easy to revise. Excellent instructional videos like this help take the mystery out of playing guitar. Keep them coming.
Wow I’m so lucky that I was in orchestra before learning guitar cause the concept of notes being the same but different pitch is normal to me. I can’t imagine being confused on it
No, no! At the beginning you’ve confused the HALF STEP or semitone with the WHOLE STEP or tone. Very important when jamming with a pianist/keyboardist. Moving one fret=1 half step/one semitone. Moving two frets=one whole step/one tone. There was some confusion at the beginning about half steps and whole steps. Correct later👍👏. Thanks. Yes to Brian Wurch above.👍👏.
I know Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the account password. I love any tricks you can offer me.
Thank you, i learnt How a capo works and learnt how to naturally transpose all in one video. This is Gold for me as a beginner. I then got confused when Hank below pointed out about your mistake on the whole and half steps but I figured that out in a separate video. i love that knowledgable people also watch beginner stuff from other teachers to polish and get a different perspective apart from their own teaching routine because they can also point out where the others are going wrong as well. God Bless you
Thanks for a nice clear lesson . I liked how you explained with the illustration of the music alphabet the steps to show what the chord would change to .

I'm looking through the comments below, and I HAVE TO AGREE with them. This is all starting to make sense. THANK YOU for explaining it the way you did. Genius.....
Thanks you are a great teacher. I actually understand how a capo works. If I was looking at a chord chart I can move the capo up and play the chords the same way I would have played them on the open neck?
Hey can you please do a tutorials on accidentals and going outside of the scale for Melody's and chords I play the piano and I'm having trouble adding character to my tracks..
i just have to point out, 1 whole step = 2 frets, each fret counts as half a step (or a semitone) ;) but apart form that great video! the rest is very easy to understand.
RUclips lesson on "My Church" says Maren wrote it in Key of A but shows her using capo on 3rd fret and says it changes it to G which would be ninth fret! So would I count back instead of forward?
…i think guitar might have just clicked for me. i somewhat know music theory but on piano so guitar made absolutely no sense to me. like i know it’s basically 6 mini pianos on it, but they’re lined up differently. and i didn’t get how shapes can be used to play different chords. or how moving down the guitar works. but i think ik why barre chords are a thing now. i still have a a lot to learn, but now i understand how changing keys work on the guitar and why some songs i wanted to learn to play on the guitar had different “chords” when there is a capo. their not different. they’re just produced by the same shape as another chord when there is no capo on the guitar. thank you soooo much!
The beginning was definitely suspicious until about 5 min mark lol but u clarified exactly how it’s actually changing the chord into a different key. Example G form in open is g but capo 2 is actually an A chord now. If we wanted to actually change that g chord into a different voicing we would capo 3rd fret and play an E form and that gives us a different voicing of the same chord (G)Many bands/artist do this fill out sound and make their guitars sound fuller, especially when there is multiple guitar players
....In the most practical break- down we want to know how to get similar sounds from EASIER to play chords...and looks like a D chord will SOUND like an F chord if capo- 3 is used......
I got lost with the part where you said that when you moved down you dais it sounded the same as the first G chord and when you moved the Capo you said it sounds the same. I am not sure of that statement. I am new at the capo but I think I am hearing a higher chord.
Capo also gives you better action and makes chords more accessible by shrinking the neck. The basic trade off is pitch. JUST DONT OVERUSE IT. It can quickly become a handicap and you’ll only be comfortable playing when your capo is attached.

A lightbulb moment. This is the first person that explained it in a way that i understand .
Never really been interested in learning music theory, changed my mind, fascinating.
Thanks so much..was nearly in tears watching hours and hours of useless tutorials...your vid just clicked...you have a way of teaching..thanks from jupiter👌
GREAT VIDEO! Thank you so much. Good teacher who takes their time with us viewers. Easy to understand, straight to the point!
This is actually.. seriously the most simple, yet accurate demonstration of basic music theory. Going to watch all your videos now. Thank you!

At 110 he moves it one fret and calls it a step..no its a half step interval.

Luckily I came here knowing that already. Otherwise I will be getting totally wrong information
he moved the capo only by one fret, which is one semitone

I’m blown away!
I giggle a bit when you said, this is called the nut..😂😂
Thank you for this I now understand the capo. Also I wanted to ask if you know any good ear training?
Beautifully explained
This is great. Thank you.
Thanks you are a great teacher. I actually understand how a capo works. If I was looking at a chord chart I can move the capo up and play the chords the same way I would have played them on the open neck?
Excellent video 👍
Thaks you very much great teacher
THANK YOU JUST WHAT I NEEDED TO LEARN
Hey can you please do a tutorials on accidentals and going outside of the scale for Melody's and chords I play the piano and I'm having trouble adding character to my tracks..
What about Em tho i mean according to the 12 notes wouldnt playing E on Capo 1 transpose it to Em? Or from Em to F ? Sorry for my english
Amazing thank you, will follow you
Thannnnnnnqqqqqqqqq veeeeerrrry much,It is very easy to understand
i just have to point out, 1 whole step = 2 frets, each fret counts as half a step (or a semitone) ;) but apart form that great video! the rest is very easy to understand.
i want to learn the music scales
and how to know the chords of any song.... the major scales and in that wich and all chords are there...
Best lesson
RUclips lesson on "My Church" says Maren wrote it in Key of A but shows her using capo on 3rd fret and says it changes it to G which would be ninth fret! So would I count back instead of forward?
This was fantastic really well explained and demonstrated as a newbie to the guitar I was confused with the capo but now it all makes sense.
Hi. Very Informative Video.
…i think guitar might have just clicked for me. i somewhat know music theory but on piano so guitar made absolutely no sense to me. like i know it’s basically 6 mini pianos on it, but they’re lined up differently. and i didn’t get how shapes can be used to play different chords. or how moving down the guitar works. but i think ik why barre chords are a thing now. i still have a a lot to learn, but now i understand how changing keys work on the guitar and why some songs i wanted to learn to play on the guitar had different “chords” when there is a capo. their not different. they’re just produced by the same shape as another chord when there is no capo on the guitar. thank you soooo much!
Finally one RUclips video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️...sub👍
Great presentation
This added the first wrinkle to my smooth brain
So if i play a G major and i need it higher maybe 2 steps, could i play a A major?
Thank you. Great presentation.
Nicely explained
Thank you😍❤️
The beginning was definitely suspicious until about 5 min mark lol but u clarified exactly how it’s actually changing the chord into a different key.

I literally can't believe it's that easy, RUclipsrs make it seem like it's rocket science or something 😭😭😭
great video!!!
....In the most practical break- down we want to know how to get similar sounds from EASIER to play chords...and looks like a D chord will SOUND like an F chord if capo- 3 is used......
Great video thanks
I am playing in the key of C using G chords. How do I use these chords to make an Aminor ?
thanks for this!
Thank you so much
I got lost with the part where you said that when you moved down you dais it sounded the same as the first G chord and when you moved the Capo you said it sounds the same. I am not sure of that statement. I am new at the capo but I think I am hearing a higher chord.
Thanks my brother
At 8:06 , is he saying that Cm chord sounds the same as higher pitch version of Am chord ?
Capo also gives you better action and makes chords more accessible by shrinking the neck. The basic trade off is pitch. JUST DONT OVERUSE IT. It can quickly become a handicap and you’ll only be comfortable playing when your capo is attached.
