Capo Chart & Chord Transposing Chart



Capo Chart
Find the actual chord in the left column. The open chord is shown, where applicable, under fret number for capo placement. Capo 1 is the first fret, Capo 2 is the second fret, etc.
Chord Capo 1 Capo 2 Capo 3 Capo 4 Capo 5 Capo 6 Capo 7
A n/a G F# (Gb) F E n/a D
A# (Bb) A n/a G F# (Gb) F E n/a
B A# (Bb) A n/a G F# (Gb) F E
C B A# (Bb) A n/a G F# (Gb) F
C# (Db) C B A# (Bb) A n/a G F# (Gb)
D n/a C B A# (Bb) A n/a G
D# (Eb) D n/a C B A# (Bb) A n/a
E n/a D n/a C B A# (Bb) A
F E n/a D n/a C B A# (Bb)
F# (Gb) F E n/a D n/a C B
G F# (Gb) F E n/a D C# (Db) C
G# (Ab) G F# (Gb) F E n/a D n/a




Chord Transposing Chart
Find the root key in the left column and jot down the numbers of the chords in the piece.    Chords are shown by the number system, based on the scale. Now move to the key to which you wish to transpose and convert the numbers back to chords. Add modifications to the chord (i.e. major, minor, 7th, 9th, etc.) to match your source chords. Note: I've deliberately elected to go with whichever scale was least confusing, thus, Bb instead of C# (Same notes but Bb is less confusing than C#).
Key (1) 2 3 4 5 6 7
A B C# D E F# G
Bb C D Eb F G Ab
B C# D# E F# G# A
C D E F G A Bb
Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C
D E F# G A B C
Eb F G Ab Bb C Db
E F# G# A B C# D
F G A Bb C D Eb
F# G# A# B C# D# E
G A B C D E F
Ab Bb C Db Eb F Gb
Note: Composers aren't restricted to any particular structure, they can use any chord they like, anywhere they like. If the composer uses natural sequence chords (all notes remaining within the scale of the key) the 1, 4, and 5 chords will be major, while the 2, 3, and 6 chords will be minor. The 7 chord is based on a flat 7th rather than the actual 7th note of the scale. This chart isn't intended to cover every piece of music, but it should be effective for most songs.

Guitar Tuner

Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of learning guitar is that it initially seems impossible to play anything that sounds good. While it is true that it takes some time to learn the techniques needed to play songs well, the real reason most new guitarists sound bad is because their guitar isn't in tune. Here is a guitar tuning tutorial that, with a little practice, should allow you to keep your instrument in tune. Traditional Guitar Tuning: The open strings of a guitar from the thickest to thinnest are as follows: * E - the thickest or lowest sounding string is known as the 6th string * A - is the 5th * D - is the 4th * G - is the 3rd * B - is the 2nd * E - the thinnest or highest is the 1st The most common method for tuning both Electric and Acoustic guitars – and the one you can use when no other instrument or guitar tuner is at hand. Step 1: The E String Tune the bottom E, as accurately as you can. Chances are it’s in tune anyways, being the thic...
