About This Lesson

Does putting a capo on change the names of the notes you play? The answer could be yes or no, depending on how you think about the question. In this video I’ll explain both possible answers in a way that’s hopefully helpful!

To be clear, my priority with this explanation (and my lessons overall) is making the guitar accessible, fun to play, and something that doesn’t feel like work. Keep that in mind as you watch, and let me know if you have any questions!
