Where on the guitar do you put a capo?

Question

Is it on the fret or what?

Answer 1

behind the fret, my hubby often uses one..
you have to put it behind the fret as its like barring a chord, not on the fret please....if you put it on the frets you will get buzzing, it has to go behind, you will find out that i am right...

Answer 2

Place the capo behind the fret in the same position as you would put your fingers

Answer 3

My bad, should be in between frets. So if it's Capo2, your capo should be in between the 1st and 2nd fret.

Answer 4

Between frets.

Answer 5

Just behind the fret would be my bet. It's better if you can strengthen your first finger to lay over the strings and play a full chord with all your fingers because then you have the whole keyboard at your disposal.

Answer 6

you can put a capo at any fret. what key you are in depends on your original tuning. if you are in standard tuning, E, then at the first fret you would be in F, 2nd F# and so on. if you are normally in D then you would be in Eflat at the 1st and E at the 2nd.

i tune in A so i capo at the 7th to be in E.

Answer 7

Yes on the Frets at which ever point on the neck you find more suitable to your requirements.

Answer 8

Move it up and down to change the key of the song until you hit the right key to suit the sound you want, accompanying instruments or vocal. You decide, it's your capo.

Answer 9

on a specific fret ( depens what song ur playing)

Answer 10

It is used to bring the Guitar into your singing range, so wherever your vocal range is. It transposes the chords up or down.
