What is a capo and how do you use it?

A capo - or capodastro - as this little tool is actually called, is a clamp that you can put on your guitar neck to cover all the strings and transpose the pitch. For example, if you put your capo on the first fret, the tuning will be half a tone higher.

You can use a capo if you want to play your favorite song in a key that suits your voice. Or if you want to hit a key that doesn't have too difficult chords. Or if you're playing a song where the artist uses a capo and you want it to sound like the original.

A capo is good to have on hand as a guitarist. It's not an expensive investment, but it can have a big impact on your range as a guitarist. With a capo, you can do more.

When it comes to choosing the right capo, you'll need to experiment. The capo you choose should be easy for you to handle, so you can quickly throw it on (and take it off) as needed. It's a hassle if you have to fiddle with it.

Next, pay attention to whether the capo fits your guitar. Capos come in different sizes and some fit electric and western guitars better than Spanish guitars. It has something to do with the neck width of the guitar. But a music retailer can help you figure all that out.
