Thanks so much Peter for your clear instructions and explanations. I learnt 6 chords as a child and have only picked up a guitar again ( now in my 50's!) We didn't have you tube bk then and mum couldn't afford the tuition so I never progressed. I've watched a few tutorials but some r quite overwhelming and some just like an audience to show how brilliant they can play..but u R a breath of fresh air. I look forward to following your tutorials .👍👏🎸
I never learn music theory from my guitar teacher last time. When I try to arrange a song, it is difficult for me because of I don't know how the capo works and how to find those root notes or bass notes across the fretboard and today I learnt it. You are the most kind and wonderful best tutor for all people who self-learning guitar. YOU DESERVED MORE LIKE, MAY GOD BLESS YOU and THANKS A LOT !!!! YOU ARE INCREDIBLE
Well.. Having mucked about with guitar for far too long I needed to learn how it all goes together.. There are many tutors out there, and I stumbled across this.. Exactly what I was after.. Thanks
Very nice lesson.. I've been playing for 40 years and never took the time to reason out a logical capo system. Makes absolute sense and makes for mindless capo transposing. Thanks!
The best explanation for chore transpose I’ve ever heard… know why ? It’s practical… most RUclipsrs just beat around the bush and fill your time with some useless information… thank you brother from the down under ! A Big cheers to you from California !
I’ve been playing for 45 years and have always played around with a Capo but usually just for fun. Now that I’ve started playing in church again the need to use the capo is a very helpful tool. I’ve started really studying how to use it effected. I’ve watched a lot of videos on the subject. Yours is the first that I’ve completely understood. You didn’t talk about how to use it but you explained how to understand it. Thanks for opening up the door.
I have been playing guitar for 30+years for a hobby. I know most chord shapes but have never gone through any theory so your lesson really helped me. I will watch it again just to let the tips and information sink in. Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much peter! This is the video that has very well prepared me to play the acoustic in the worship band. You are a GREAT teacher! Appreciate the time you took to make this video. You are using your gifts very well and helping so many benefit. For a moment, I thought I was crazy, wondering if I was the only one who preferred the sound of open chords. My teacher taught me the way of barre chords, but they did not sit well for me with acoustic. They give you unmatched creative freedom compared to the barre chords. My next goal will be to play lead/electric, looking forward to following your uploads during my journey. Best wishes and God bless!
Hi Bethany! I'm so sorry - for some reason I didn't see your message until now! My sincere apologies for not responding! But thank you so much for your kind & encouraging comments. How's your playing going now? Blessings, Peter.
So in a nutshell, if the key is on the E string, you play the E-shape chord. If it's on the A string, you play the A-shape chord. And if it's on the D string, you play the D-shape chord.
...I don't think I will ever get theory...When I'm learning songs, I will look at a variety of players and usually a couple will be capo- ing in a 'comfort range' and still making the song sound like the song, then I just copy them...An example is "In Color" by Jamey Johnson...instead of shifting between G, F & C, you can capo at fret 1, and play A, G, and D and sounds close enough....Theory seems arbitrary, illogical and forces memorization...
By far the clearest tutorial on this subject that I’ve seen. Thank you.
Thanks for the encouraging feedback!

Canaan Yemane My pleasure!
Franz Ferdinand's singer?
So in a nutshell, if the key is on the E string, you play the E-shape chord. If it's on the A string, you play the A-shape chord. And if it's on the D string, you play the D-shape chord.
oh nice, so basically the key is based on the root notes of g string when you barre with capo?!
Often I see music in weird keys. Is there a easy way to transpose it to a minor, g, f , or c .. ?
Trank you, I've never learned anything about the capo.
You're welcome. I hope it helped.
How do we match the right key for our voice? Should the voice be higher than the key?
I sometimes get string buzz when I'm using my kayzar capo
