Indeed, a capo is an easy way to transpose UP; and you treat your capo as the nut of your guitar.
That only goes UP, so in some case you might want to put a capo up a few steps but you sing a whole octave lower. that way, you can use a capo to transpose the vocals down.
Well, I always wondered why nothing shows up when searching for that in the search bar on the website
I agree, in my “teachings” about how you need to take control of a song in order to make it your own and start building upon in, one of my major points is to transpose to an ideal range for your voice or a key you’d like to play in on guitar.
Transposing also gives you access to different flavours of the same songs, because of different chord voicings you will use.
Should my next “Motivation and Inspiration” Live Club be a full length session about transposing, which tools can help you and go through csome examples? It was a small feature in some of my clubs on how to combine the concepts of capo and transposing but perhaps some specific attention could be valuable. I’ll set up a poll in a different thread
