Teaching guitar from beginner to pro using my own unique methods
Good question but a loaded one!
What I always tell my students is you must be "bilingual" with the capo. What is it in guitar and then what is it in the real key.
e.g.
Capo on the 2nd fret and play a G. In guitar talk it is a G, but it really is an A.
Capo 4th fret and play a C. In guitar talk it is a C, but it really is an E.
Capo 5th fret and play a D. In guitar talk it is a D, but it really is an A.
etc.
Have fun!
