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.

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 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.

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

…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!

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.

So if a rhytm guitar is playing a G shape chord with capo on the 3rd fret ,what key scale would a lead guitarist play with him on backing lead guitar . Would it be a B scale Pentatonic ?? What i am trying to get at if if the rhythm guy wants to use a capo in a song ,does the lead guitar guy need to find the key .?
@beachist

This confuses me because youte example in the beginning with the g shape you say move one fret and then you have the same g chord but in a higher pitch but later you say if you move the capo then you also need to move the notes on the alfabet wich i get but then that means if you move youre capo on the first fret and you play the g schape chord then you would have a g# or an Ab so thats where im confused ?

Moving the capo up the neck doesn't shorten the neck, you simply fret other frets. Example; placing the capo on the first fret doesn't shorten the neck, you simply fret these notes which become your open string notes. :)
@BeHappyNoMatterWhat
3 жыл бұрын
Technically yes, but theoretically, you are shortening the neck since the capo acts as the nut does. Both ways of looking at it are correct, but it's easier for ppl to make sense of it the latter way compared to how you described it.

I don’t understand when you capo and play the g-shape it’s not longer the g chord, the notes are completely transposed to another key. Sure the relationship between the notes are the same but it still sounds different. It’s not just a g-chord but withal a higher pitch is it?

What does he mean when he says when you use a capo a d chord will sound the same but different?
@mikeberg5003
2 жыл бұрын
This video is horrible. If you play any open chord in it's position near the nut, it sounds like what it is. So a C is a C, a G is a G, a D is a D, an A is an A. This guy just saying when you move the capo up makes it the same chord only "higher in pitch" is ridiculous. Let me try to explain, the chords in order are A, B, C, D, E, F. If you put the capo on the SECOND fret, you are essentially changing whatever chord SHAPE you're playing up to the next chord. So if you put the capo on the second fret (which is a whole step up from no capo), and you play the D SHAPE, it will sound like an E chord. In the same situation if you play a G SHAPE, it will sound like an A, etc etc. I hope that helps.
