Thanks for a great lesson. I’m new to the capo, so could you please explain the bit about capo on fret 3 and thinking G Major. Thanks.

Thanks Hugo. I’m glad you enjoyed 
Hey Gary, Capo’s are generally used to change/choose the key of a piece of music, mostly to suit the singer (vocal range).
If you play a G chord without a capo the individual notes in the chord are G B and D.
If you then place the capo on fret 2, all of the open strings have gone up in pitch two frets. If you then play your regular open G chord, it will sound one whole tone higher than normal right? The notes you’re now playing are A C# and E, which is in fact an A chord.
The fiddly thing to remember here, is even though we’re playing the G chord with our fingers, we’re in fact playing an A chord. But to simplify all of this, many people with just say we’re playing a G chord with capo on fret.
When it comes to keys, it’s the same principle, just using all of the chords in the key.
Make sense?
Hi Lee. Thanks for the reply, it makes sense but I don’t follow how to address the key changes. If the key is E-flat major then isn’t the 1-chord E-flat major? When the capo is on fret 3 then this would move everything up 3 semitones, so the 1-chord would need to be fingered (precieved) as C major (to sound like E-flat major when played), not G major, as in your chord box - what am I missing?
Aggrrr, my bad. It’s a typo.
We’re not in Eb major. We’re in Bb major.
Hopefully that makes more sense.
Hi Lee. Thanks, it makes sense now. I’m off to practice those karate chops now. Regards, Gary
