Product Description:
The capo is a tool of the trade. This will guide you through an understanding of how it works, and how to select the one that is right for you and your guitar. It is a theoretically correct method that relies mainly on an understanding of the fingerboard of the guitar; and which can be employed with any notational system. Lots of photos, examples, charts, and exercises are included. The author has created a systematic method that aids your understanding of note relationships, offers a practical application of Circle of Fifths, and works it all from the orientation of the guitar itself, so you also gain valuable knowledge about note relationships and chord shapes all over the fretboard.

Since not all capos are created equal, a complete gallery of capos is presented to make your selection process that much easier.
