Quick Answer

Guitar Capo Transposer: chord sequence · semitone shift per fret. Guitar Capo Transposer uses standard developer formulas to compute accurate results instantly.

Input

fret (0 = none)
Transposed chordsD A Bm G

How it works

  1. 1Each fret raises everything one semitone; capo 2 shifts every root up 2 semitones
  2. 2C G Am F → D A Bm G
  3. 3With capo 2, C-shape fingerings sound in the key of D
A capo shortens all strings at once, raising every open note by one semitone per fret - same fingering, higher key. Capo 2 on a C chord sounds as D, and you sing in D as well. Flat roots (e.g. Bb) are written with sharps in the result (Bb+2=C#); fingerings are unaffected. If transposition produces tricky barre chords like F# or C#, move the capo down or pick easier shapes. Only roots are transposed - quality suffixes (m/7/maj7/sus4) stay as written.
