Where to Put the Capo

Question

Is there an easy way to figure out where to put the capo in order to make chord transitions easier? For instance, if the chords I have are D, F#, Bm, then G, where could I put the capo to eliminate all the barre chords?

Answer 1

I don't believe there is any way to eliminate all bar chords in this progression. A capotasto is essentially not a way to eliminate bar chords. It's in my understanding a tool used to adapt the tuning of your guitar to your voice.

Say you would put the capo on the second fret and play the same progression, it would become:

E, G#, C#m, A

Bar chords are necessary for playing guitar, play the progression and practice you strength.

If you must play this.

Play the Bm and the F# like this

Bm    F#
e: 2  e: 2
B: 3  B: 2
G: 4  G: 3
D: x  D: 4
A: x  A: x
E: x  E: x

Answer 2

1	chords D F# Bm G = capo at fret 2 and play chords C E Am F link answered 22 Oct '10, 13:01 steve zodiac 1.3k●11●26●49 accept rate: 8%
