Selecting a Capo
A capo (from the Italian ‘capotasto’, ‘head of fingerboard’) is a movable bar
attached to the fingerboard of the guitar, to uniformly raise the pitch of all
the strings. Its use makes the strings shorter, therefore changing the timbre
and position of the chords (but not their shape).
This might prevent some strings from sounding, depending on the chord po-
sition. The following example shows a C Major chord fingered with no capo,
and the same chord with a capo on the fifth position.
Fret = 0
Fret = V
▪ Use the Capo > Fret pop-up menu to choose a Capo (‘capotasto’).
Capo Meaning

I … XII Position of the capo over the fingerboard (i.e., “I” corresponds to the first
fret, “II” to the second one, and so on).
