What is a capo? Info here www.andyguitar....
A ‘capo’ holds down the strings at any fret on your guitar. This allows you to still play the chords you know, but they will now sound higher. This is great as it allows us to many more songs than we could without the capo.

Good to know!
I've just started learning how to play, and I had no idea what a capo was😆
Lindsey's Guitar Vlog same 😂
i genuinely didn’t know, i thought my guitar wasn’t in tune or something 😂
You're a fantastic teacher. Seriously one of my faves :)
Absolutely!
I just recently bought a guitar and I can’t help but try to lead it quickly. U play it so beautifully ❤️
I am a keyboardist/pianist and I am learning many guitar stuff as I found out sometimes we don't speak the same language.
Though it is amazing how many guitarist choose not use it and prefer to play in an 'easier' key rather than use a capo.
Brilliant! Thank you so much Andy!
Ok
Instablaster
Can't wait for my capo to arrive from eBay, I got tired of using a pencil and a rubber (as you mentioned). Pencil bends after some time so strings start to produce weird sounds. Thanks for this great video :)
I was just being taught how to play an acoustic guitar, and I was curious about how to use a capo. This video helped a lot!!!
He explains everything so nicely.
I finally realized who you remind me of. Emilia Pond's boyfriend from doctor who
Rory pond
The man who waited
Alex Nostalgic for sure looks like rory
I DID NOT THINK THERE WOULD BE DOCTOR WHO FANS HERE.

I'm playing on guitar for 9 years and it's first time I hear about capo, wtf.

Oh
@@PauIdenino wtf

Don Everly used a capo quite often whilst performing with Phil. You explained the capo brilliantly.
Hi Andy. Just learning to play Love me do. Watched the video you made, Brilliant mate, First ever song I have got to play. you are awesome, learning by watching you is so very easy and pleasureable. Thank-you Andy
Can we also use capo to reduce the action
Andy, that's for all the great lessons and videos. Regarding the capo, I am seeing lots and lots of different material out there, rosewood, aluminum, composite, etc. Would you recommend one over the other? Thanks in advance man.
michael johnson I’ve ordered a rosewood. I’d suggest getting one that does NOT have springs. These wear out after a while and you’ll need a new one. Though before you get a capo, I recommend making sure you know that it will fit your fretboard :) and that it doesn’t press too hard, make buzz noises or scratch the neck of the guitar.
Thank you. I finally understand what Bochhi did with that sake.
When you place a capo on 2nd fret, would 3rd fret then be like 1st fret? So like first fret moves one ahead of the capo?
Yup
@@SMPMS8389 ok, thanks
I was about to ask the same question
@@vickyjohnson8465 the answer is yes
I,m just starting out and wondered what is was for..thank you ever so much A1
Thanks Andy.
If I put the capo then which fret should I start playing from that's all I am confused about?
Where ever the song your learning puts it at
Here with you andy, my 4th time on my guitar learnt the chords and put them together today❤binge watching all your vids😂
STANDARD TUNING WITH CAPO 2ND FRET USING E CHORD SHAPE = G CHORD
So with a capo you're using the same chord shapes? Is where the capo placed automatically make that the first fret?
yeah man
Where the capo is placed makes it an open string. The next fret is the first. So if you put the capo on the first fret, the second fret becomes the first fret
@@SMPMS8389 so lets say the tab shows 3 3 1 but at the start said capo on fret 2, so i actually press down 5 5 3?
Thanks Dear Love From India ☺️♥️
I am always wondering why young folks like to use capo and now I know that their voices are high up so it makes sense!
Thank you for the much clearer explanation sir, im just a new guitar learner from Philippines 😊🇵🇭!.
THANK YOU SIR HELPEDD ME A LOT
You are a wonderful teacher
I’m a bass player but I’m curious what’s the clippy thingy guitarist use
Very good help, as that is what I really need. thank you for posting
Super helpful!! Thank you for explaining this 😊
No problem
Great video!!! What about bar chords. Do those go up in key when using a capo?
Thank you so much for this video I understood this video perfectly
So when I put a capo on the 2nd fret for example do the frets reset, I mean is the fret next to the capo the 3rd or the 1st fret then?
Yes you are absolutely right
So If you play a D shape in the normal position put a capo on the 2 nd fret the chord shape stays the same but then you will be playing an E
Thank you, Andy!
Pascal
Thanks sir
Thank you for this video
Thanks Andy
Hi -- not sure you're still tracking comments on this one, but you mentioned that a capo changes the key. Technically, it's just changing the pitch, correct? Key signature is more purely related to the sharps/flats and scales. This just adjusts the pitch to make it easier to accommodate other voice registers or instruments, right? Thanks
1:43
What is a mandarin sound?
I use that for higher the pitch the better it depends on the song
Hi Andy, I’m a newbie guitar player. I just know a few basic chords. I’m learning Every Rose has it’s Thorn by Poison. I learned that the band has their guitar tuned down a half step for this song. When I do that, the guitar sounds just like Poison’s version. However, it’s way too low for me to sing. The question I have is, will the song be better for me to play a half step down with a capo or normal with a capo or does using a capo make the question irrelevant and should I just play around with it until it fits my voice?
How nice lol
Champion!!!!!! Brilliant explanation!!!
Hi, how are things going for you this new year.
Brilliant tool love them
good guide for beginners.
Hi, i was playing some songs with a friend of mine lately. The a team from ed sheeran for example. Can i just play the same chord when i put the capo to a higher fret? From 5 to 6 for example if that fits her voice better of should i transpose the chords?
Yes do it, just moving the capo is the easiest and best way, it'll sound great!
Thank''s
Thankyou so much Andy bro you explained important points about capo in detail 🙏🙏☺️💜💜💜
Capo is used to raised the pitch of guitar
Thank you very much for this
Can you make video how to play James Blunt you re beautiful

When I put a cappo on, my guitar sounds out of tune, my intonation is fine so I have absolutely no clue why it's happening!!!!!!
Similar to transpose feature on Keyboards
Should I use one on my electric guitar?
Thanks
Nice to hear someone pronouncing it correctly
1:47 my best part when he plays
I got my answer from you.. thanks
You're amazing. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your info🤩
As an American, I appreciate you pointing out in the beginning that WE are the only ones to pronounce it correctly.
That, my friend, has earned you a thumbs up. : )
For some reason, you're always the only ones to do things correctly😜
Well, Englishmen invented the language...
@@ericsvensson4857 Nope. Try again.
It's a hard 'a' sound, from the Italian capotasto. Definitely not an 'ay' sound.
thank you
Viewer from Canada 🇨🇦 Lovin it...
Me in the first seconds: Caapppo??
Andy: If you’re an American
Me: 🧐🥺😁😁😁🤪🇺🇸
I have that same guitar... cool
Thanks for explaining but ik how much is the capo from the Philippines. It's worth 100 PHP.
Thnx Andy, your videos are really helpful, I was wondering If there is beginners videos for Nirvana songs....and thnx again for your efforts :)
Fun.. found this by chance.. on a bit of a adventure looking for a funny phrase… turns up was a bit of a fun.. ‘wild goose chase’ .. I’ll share this now. Have fun.. that’s x 3 plus a ‘funny’ .. there were several.. Capo videos.. happy to see this one was the shortest and now…. I may listen to a longer one too.. ‘just’ a tired girl writinggg.. sharinck 💟💜🕎🐣🐾🌼🐝🌖🖤🎹
Thank you!
Thanks a lot Andy I really needed to know how to use a capo and what it is for ..... 😅😅
Does a capo changes the chord LIKE (G to A)
If you put the capo on the 3rd fret and play an E chord you are really playing a G chord. Same fret and A chord is a C chord.
so a capo is like the transpose button on the keyboard?
Yes! But it can only transpose up, not down
so which chords are important to learn for sure
@@MrSuntutorial C😂😂
Thank u
Capos are best object for playin' guitar
I just can't get how the open chord shapes still work when using a capo.
What guitar is he using?
Yamaha
I'm American and I have always called it a CAP-OH not KAY-PO
David Gray uses the capo in most of his songs
yuseful
what model yamaha guitar is that please
What guitar do you use, I want to get into guitar and I like the way your guitar looks and sounds
This is a Yamaha FG700ms, about £170 these days, super common and a great choice 👌
@@andycrowley thank you
@@andycrowley I’m thinking of possibly starting off with something like a donner djp-1000
Thanks for the video! But how do we know if we need a flat or a curved trigger capo?
Look at your fret board 😉
Thank you~~~~
I use a capo to high of my voice.
R.I.P Capo 🙏🙏
higher in frequency or what?
Muricans. Kaypoe
I have the same capo
I literally just got a capo to hold the strings which i can’t ( im a beginner please don’t jump on me )
amazyn
I didn't find myself get a full understanding of the topic, and I feel like it holds back too much information. I think JustinGuitar does a better job at explaining the topic.
I got a capo add wile watching a capo video
I have
But I am going to buy a new guitar
not Amazon...Ama-ZIN.
I Love you Andy. You Are Awesome
👍
Can you play guitar with short stubby fingers?
The English pronounce capo like the word for mafia boss. It sounds cool, not gonna lie.

No, he's just holding it for fun
