Capo

A capo is used to raise the pitches of the notes played on the guitar. They are often used by guitarists who want to play a song in a different key but use the same chord shapes as the original song. They can be also used to create interesting chords that otherwise would be impossible to play. Capo’s can be made of metal or plastic and can be strapped or screwed to the neck. The capo below is a spring clamp capo, otherwise known as a trigger capo.
