May 31, 2002, Newsletter Issue #37: Using a Capo (capo dŽastro or crutch)

Tip of the Week

The easiest way to raise the pitch in your guitar is by using a capo, which is a device that you lock onto your guitar at any fret. The key is raised one-half step each time you move the capo up one fret. A capo will bar all the strings and enable you to play in whatever key the song is in.
