The shapes your fingers make, e.g. G, C, D, Em.
Capo on fret 2
A G shape with a capo on fret 2 sounds as A — every shape moves up 2 semitones.
| Shape you play | Chord that sounds |
|---|---|
| G | A |
| C | D |
| D | E |
| Em | Gbm |
How it works: A capo shortens every string by the same number of frets, so every chord sounds that many semitones higher than the shape. Capo 2 + G shape = A chord; capo 3 + C shape = Eb chord.
