Classroom Guitar: How, When and Why to Use a Capo

March 20, 2017 by Mike Christiansen 1 Comment

In this video blog, Consonus Classroom Guitar Curriculum author Mike Christiansen discusses how, when and why to use a capo.

Probably the most common use of a capo is to change key but when teaching very young classroom guitar students, and using a full size guitar, a capo can also “make the guitar smaller” making is easier for young hands to master the technique.

Watch the video and learn how to properly use a capo!
