Hey guys, welcome back to another guitar lesson. Today I want to show you how to use the capo to write a beautiful melody.

Our instrument always inspires us. Its tone can literally dictate the way we play and compose. That’s why many guitar players change guitar based on the type of music they want to play.

Now, the capo is a great tool that we can use to change the tone of our guitar slightly. I love to put the capo on the fret VII because I feel that it changes the overall volume and timbre. It also makes the guitar more comfortable to play.

The capo on fret VII reduces the bass and makes the guitar sounds tiny. I feel that the tone is lovely, and so my songwriting can shift towards a more quiet and delicate way of composing.

You can use the capo in many different positions of the guitar neck. Each fret gives you a diverse range of colors and timbre, so I recommend that you experiment a lot with that.
