Second Lesson: CAPO

Hi everybody!
In this lesson I'm explaining how to do a CAPO chord, but don't worry, it's easier that you think.

The capo consists on put your index finger across all the neck of the guitar, touching all the strings on this fret, like this: 


 

The CAPO chord is used all long the guitar and in every fret, for example, if you want to do C, you can do this chord like this two positions:
X32010

X35553
Like you can do a CAPO chord on the 3rd fret of the 5th string doing a C chord, you can do all chords by CAPO.
Now, here is an image of the CAPO example chords, enjoy!

This is for a minor chord with the base on the 6th string. If you want to do a major chord on the 6th fret, you have to put your finger on the 3rd string, between the 2 other fingers and the capo.


This is for a minor chord with the base on the 5th string. If you want to do a major chord on the 5th fret, you have to put your finger on the 2nd string, at the same fret that the other 2 fingers.

In the CAPO chords with base on 5th and 6th strings, the base note of the chord will be on the fret that it's the note on the 5th and 6th string.

Thank you very much for seeing this and please coment! See you soon :D
