Capo chart
Each row is an open shape. Each column is a capo fret. The cell is the sounding chord name after that many semitones. C with capo 2 is D. Sharps are preferred going up. Names stay simple: letter, optional accidental, and a short quality such as m.
How to read the chart
Capo N raises every open string by N semitones. If you finger a C shape with the capo on fret 2, the sounding chord is D. The same rule built the transpose tool. This page is the chart form of that rule for eight common shapes.
The chart does not hear a guitar and does not move a capo for you. It does not name slash chords or add9 voicings. If you need a custom list, type those names on the transpose page. The capo and transpose guide compares the two tools.
Worked examples
C plus 2 semitones is D. If the song is in D and you want open C fingering, put the capo on fret 2.
G plus 3 semitones is A♯. Some charts write B♭ for the same pitch. This table prefers sharps going up.
A plus 5 semitones is D, so Am becomes Dm. Can you hear that the quality stays minor?
Questions
Is capo 0 a real capo?
Capo 0 means no capo. The sounding name matches the shape.
Why is G plus 3 written A♯ and not B♭?
The transpose rule on this site prefers sharps when you move up. The pitch is the same as B♭.
Can I add seventh shapes?
Not on this chart. Use the transpose page and type names such as C7 or Gmaj7.
