Thank you so much for this lesson. I am trying to learn how to be a worship guitarist for my church, which requires playing with another guitarist (something I'm not used to doing). I don't really know any music theory, and have been trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do. This lesson has been so helpful. Thank you for posting, and God bless you. 🙏
To not confuse people, he should refer to the shapes as "C shape" "D shape" etc, because the chords are technically not C or D but are the same chords that the other guitarist is playing.
@@brownpunk1794 You serious?...Damn I mean this was the first guy from whom I learned tapping in the beginning of my electric guitar journey...Is he really homeless right now?...Damn I thought he was doing well...He posted a videos 7 months ago Right?Man I feel bad for him..
If you use the Capps to tune to A, does it matter what key you use? For example (forgot names) the guy on the right played the A major scale the whole time, but Jonathan picked G then D. What about C? Or F#? Will they all sound good if you adjust the capo accordingly?
Furthermore, the distance from A to F sharp, also known as G flat is a relative minor which is why it makes sense harmonically to put the capo there and not else where.
How about the effect of playing the chords A, D, E, but then playing in a different key with the capo, relative to the chord progression. Instead of playing A, D, E on the open strings and A, D, E with the capo maybe play B, E, F# or C, F, G with the capo, or whichever particular key works together as an example.
You went backwards. You go the other way (D)-D#-E-F-F#-G-G#-A that's 7. Also it's easier to count the frets rather than trying to do it the way he did. If you want to go from D to A just point at each fret and go up a half step until you get to A. Then capo on that fret.
my question is ,let say player 1 guitar is tune to A , and guitar player 2 guitar is tune to G ,where do each player put the capo to match the key ? both must play - C AM F G (Open chords) ...anyone can help me out ?still dont understand this part ..
+Wyatt Peters capo 3rd fret play E, fret 10 use A, capo fret 5 play C...get the idea ? one problem with capos though is if the spring tension is too much it might not intonate correctly. I have a couple Dunlop capos that do this so I use an adjustable one
If playing in G then G is 1. Simply number the notes after G. A is 2 B is 3 C is 4. So the second chord in the key of G is C. D is then 5. So in the key of G the chords are G(1) C(4) and D (5). In the key of C then C is 1. D is 2, E is 3 and F is 4. G is then 5. So the chords in the key of C are C(1) F(4) and G(5).
Sweet. I'm gotta try this. I play with a band that tunes down a 1/2 step. I'm trying to work that to my advantage.. I play some keyboards to, which stinks becuase the keyboard doesn't have moveable scales/patterns.
First, fourth and fifth note in a scale. C scale is : CDEFGAB , so you take 1st( C), 4th(F) and 5th(G) and you have a very common chord progression in the key of C. These always have to be MAYOR chords.
Can you tell me how we could add voicing to this technique. How can I capo to my voice range while others are in theirs...Is that possible in a group setting?
Total understand now but how do I initially find the keys that mix in well with the already establish lead guitar? How did you decide that the key of G would work well with the key of E chords
Nothing more annoying than two guys talking about that there is nothing more annoying than a pair of guitarists who play the same thing, then the second guy just repeats what the first guy just said hahaha! :D

Really, I've used a capo very little over many years of playing. And I never really considered some of this excellent knowledge! GREAT stuff, guys!
I want to thank you this was a lesson that I really needed.
Thank you so much! This was the most helpful video about this subject I have found!
Where is the other video of more detail about capo tunings and placement? Cheers
At 6:50, He is talking about the Circle of 4th, using the 1-4-5 progression each time you add a flat :)
Anthony Lundell circle of 5th’s
Zack Todd D to A is a 5th.right.
But A to D is a 4th..
A to D is 5 half steps. 5 half steps is a 4th interval
My friends mom just showed me this, and this video helped to understand !! Thanks riff ninja s!!!
Sensational, thank you. I will try jamming like this.
Great lesson! I learned a lot. Appreciated!!!
You the best teacher ever. Wow!
Fellas. Thanks for the moment of enlightenment.
Wow, I learn something new every day! Great video, thank you!

Awesome tips. Thanks so much.
Great video, excellent work guys 🙂
Great lesson guys.
I think you are the first on YT to do this topic.
That Gibson sounds great compared to the Jonathan's Takamine.
Very nice. I was strung along with you on my nylon string guitar.. the best.
Thank you guys great fun video
A Wayne’s World guitar lesson… That being said I learned more than I could have imagined! Party On Boys
nice and clear!
I'm confused. How do you create a good sounding separation if the song chords are not 1,4,5?
Like this video, but would suggest getting volume on both guitars at equal level.
the guy with glasses has a wonderful sense about him!
I agree.but sadly hes homeless and on crack living near my house under the freeway😥
@@brownpunk1794 You serious?...Damn I mean this was the first guy from whom I learned tapping in the beginning of my electric guitar journey...Is he really homeless right now?...Damn I thought he was doing well...He posted a videos 7 months ago Right?Man I feel bad for him..
@@cenaakashakash me too..hes a lovely dude but drugs fuccked this poor niqa up..😔
Thanks guys!
I want that Takamine! Great Video and Tips thanks alot.

SHHHH!!! ...NOW THE SECRETS OUT!!!
helpful capo info. thanx.
you mentioned another video that explains how to invert the chords, i wasn't able to find it. can you post a link?
Thanks !
Real knee-slapper ending on this one! Great lesson too.
Furthermore, the distance from A to F sharp, also known as G flat is a relative minor which is why it makes sense harmonically to put the capo there and not else where.
Even a 3rd guitar in Nashville tuning, and/or open voice
Very cool guys.thx!

A open then if you put a capo on 7th fret you have to play an E shape
If u what to play a D shape u must be put a capo un 5th fret.
You went backwards. You go the other way (D)-D#-E-F-F#-G-G#-A that's 7.
Also it's easier to count the frets rather than trying to do it the way he did. If you want to go from D to A just point at each fret and go up a half step until you get to A. Then capo on that fret.
9.05 the 1 finger chord..what chord is that?
It's a way of playing the A chord. Just bar the 2-3-4 strings instead of fingering them individually.
my question is ,let say player 1 guitar is tune to A , and guitar player 2 guitar is tune to G ,where do each player put the capo to match the key ? both must play - C AM F G (Open chords) ...anyone can help me out ?still dont understand this part ..
Anyone correct me if Im wrong but C Am F G is neither in the key of A or G.
What if the song is in the key of G?
+Wyatt Peters capo 3rd fret play E, fret 10 use A, capo fret 5 play C...get the idea ? one problem with capos though is if the spring tension is too much it might not intonate correctly. I have a couple Dunlop capos that do this so I use an adjustable one
Thanks! This really helps!
I do like that hummingbird guitar, if that's what it is, I'm not an expert.
could you do another lesson on Changing the separation by moving the campo to the seventh fret, where the D shape becomes an A?
Isn't hel playing A D E D a 1-4-5-4 progression??
Very cool, not sure I understand fully all the 1-4-5 business
If playing in G then G is 1. Simply number the notes after G. A is 2 B is 3 C is 4. So the second chord in the key of G is C. D is then 5. So in the key of G the chords are G(1) C(4) and D (5). In the key of C then C is 1. D is 2, E is 3 and F is 4. G is then 5. So the chords in the key of C are C(1) F(4) and G(5).

to my advantage.. I play some keyboards to, which stinks becuase the keyboard doesn't have
moveable scales/patterns.
What is he referring to when he says 1,4,5?
denzelnolet Scale position
First, fourth and fifth note in a scale. C scale is : CDEFGAB , so you take 1st( C), 4th(F) and 5th(G) and you have a very common chord progression in the key of C. These always have to be MAYOR chords.
Jose Miguel Benga Gotcha. Thanks Jose.
Two men, one capo. Funky!

I like Johnathan's guitar.
Awesome stuff. Seems like you need a new capo though:)
I'm confused 😫 can I play the same chord with the capo at the same time as the other person with no capo?
Cords are the same with or without capo you just move below the capo
Yes u can...but it wont be the SAME chord as no capo..just same shape
@@evanwaynepartin4114 sorry this is wrong
@@brownpunk1794 yes I know, I meant chord shapes are the same. Cause if your capo is at second fret then a G shape is A, etc
@@evanwaynepartin4114 correct
cool
Quick question what if one was playing E chords
Cool video, you got me laughing with you at the end :P
Is Colin Daniel(The guy on the left) really homeless right now?
Yep..on meth 2
1, 2, you know what to do...
Great ideas, but the explanation when you do the second capo move is utterly confusing - you even confused yourself.
CAPO NOT CAYPO!
The guitar army in Idiocracy all plays the same chords and kills.
I didn’t know Woody Harrelson can play guitar
its not a capeo its a capo!
Nothing more annoying than two guys talking about that there is nothing more annoying than a pair of guitarists who play the same thing, then the second guy just repeats what the first guy just said hahaha! :D
Thank you, great advice and information
