A capo (short for capotasto, Italian for "head of fretboard", also called a fret lobster) is a device used for shortening the strings, and hence raising the pitch, of a stringed instrument such as a guitar, mandolin or banjo. It was invented by the Flamenco guitarist Jose Patino Gonzalez[1].

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
