As you learn new songs and sing along with your favourite tunes, your voice may not match up nicely with chords you already know. By using a guitar capo you can shift the pitch of chords you are already familiar with. If you have a higher singing voice, or just want to experiment with a different pitch, simply attach your capo to the desired fret. The beauty of using a capo means the chords will automatically be shifted to a higher pitch without you having to change anything! It's an inexpensive and fun way to get much more out of your guitar (PICKS ARE NOT INCLUDED WITH THIS PRODUCT)
