About this tool

The Capo Helper shows guitarists how to use a capo to play in a target key while keeping familiar open chord shapes.

Best match gives you the capo position that matches your preferred chord-shape family. Choose a sounding key, pick the shapes you like to play, and the tool shows where the capo belongs.

Lower Capo and Higher Capo are useful when layering guitars. Two players can cover the same song with different chord shapes and capo positions, helping the parts sit in different frequency ranges and adding more movement to the arrangement.

Open-ring option suggests another practical shape family that may give you more open strings or a brighter texture than the first choice. It is meant as a useful alternative you might not have reached for right away.
