Capo Chord Shapes: Change Key Fast

• Pick your comfortable shape family first (C, G, D, or A family).
• Move capo until shape family matches singer's key.
• Test tonic chord and check if melody feels comfortable.

• 3 minutes: place capo cleanly (no buzzing) on frets 2, 3, and 5.
• 3 minutes: play I-V-vi-IV in each position.
• 2 minutes: switch capo position quickly and resume strumming.
• 2 minutes: sing one verse and confirm key comfort.

Always recheck tuning briefly after capo changes.

• Capo too far from fret wire causes buzzing.
• Pressing too hard can pull notes sharp.
• Forgetting to retune after moving capo.

Run each block for equal time, then repeat one weak block at the end.
