Just starting with my new Tenor Guitar tuned in GDAD and hopet to be able to sit in on a session before I move onto the harp. I'm finding your introductory lessons very useful and I hope your still teaching Bob - is there more you've done following these initial videos?

Hi Bob, Cheers for the videos, I have a question about the use of a capo. I have been backing tunes that are in G, with the capo on the 5th fret and moving it up and down the neck for tunes in Em, A or F but even though I can play chords that go with the tune, I have no idea what chords I'm actually playing. I am using the same shapes that I use in an open D position and they seem to fit really well with some tunes, but then there are tunes where I can't find anything that fits... and I very quickly run out of ideas. I'm still pretty new to music theory, but I'm learning slowly. Would it be right to say that a G chord 0-0-2-0 played with a capo on the 5th fret would then be a C chord? and that on the 2nd fret the same shape would be an A ? Would it be possible to use the circle of 5ths for an easy way to convert them ? Any help would be great, Cheers Bob.

Hi Paul, It would be a good idea to learn the note names of all the frets, especially on the lower strings. When you play a chord with the 0-0-2-0 shape, the chord is named after the note on the lowest string. Without a capo, that would be G. And yes, you're right in saying that with a capo on 2 it would be an A (the second fret on the lowest string is A) and with a capo on 5 it would be a C (5th fret on the lowest string is C). Likewise, the shape x-0-0-0 is named after the note on the third (second lowest) string. Without a capo that would be D. The second fret on the third string is E, so x-0-0-0 with a capo on 2 would be E. I hope this helps, Bob.

Bob Gooday thanks Bob, that seems like a pretty strait forward way of knowing the chords, cheers for that it will really help me.
