If you use the G fingering with the capo on the third fret, you are playing a Bb chord, which is three half-tones higher than G. If you wish to play in the key of G with the capo on the third fret, use the typical fingering for E, which is three half-tones lower than G.

If you play a D chord with no capo, obviously it would be a D. All you have to do is move it up two steps so it would be a C.

What capo is key D?

By putting the capo on the second fret and playing a C chord, will create the chord D sound. By playing Am you will get Bm, and by playing Dm you will get Em.


What chord is a standard D equivalent to when a capo is used on the third fret?

It's the same as B Major when the guitar is open, go two frets up in scale on the 5th (A) string (with the capo this puts you on the 5th fret) and form a barre with your pinky or ring finger on the 7th fret across the fourth through 2nd strings (you can barre the 1st string too as long as you don't play it, 6th string isn't played either.) There are other configurations but this seems like the best configuration in the area of the capo area itself. Alternatively you could barre a traditional D Major chord shape at the tenth fret but that might sound too chimy for you.


What key is a c add9 chord in with a capo on the seventh fret?

Te capo does not change the location of the chords, it only places the open strings at where you place the capo, in your position, the open strings are at the 7th fret. The capo is only ever useful if you have difficulty playing full chords and you only need to change a few during a performance or if you require the open strings at a more convenient position for doing leads for songs played in a certain chord, where the open strings are used often.


What fret do you put a capo on to get the key of c?

In guitar what does capo 2 mean?

A capo is a device which is clamped onto the fretboard and is used to hold all strings on a chosen fret, just as if you had your finger barred across on that fret. With that in mind, presumably "capo 2" would mean that you are being instructed to install the capo onto the 2nd fret. or in short....... you have to clip a capo on the second fret

What fret do you play a Bm?

There are multiple ways to play every chord on guitar. Additionally, using a capo changes which fret you play the chord in as well. If you are not using a capo, and just want one way to play the Bm chord, here is a link to a diagram: http://guitar.about.com/library/weekly/aa112100d.htm Notice you bar the second fret by putting you're index finger on the five thinnest strings. You put your second finger on the second string in the third fret. The second string is the second thinnest string. Then you use your third and fourth fingers in the forth fret to push down the third and fourth strings.
