Текст песни Capo, 4th Fret (Tony Sly) с переводом
Like a child I can sit in the corner
With these pills I can barely get by So I wait for the hour of approval
Ten minutes until it’s five
And it’s friday, so I don’t feel so lonely
I know the wolves are out tonight
The sound of ice in a bottomless glass
Tells me that all that is fine
Playing guitar and I’m forgetting words
Like a baby who just learned to speak
Unfinished songs that I swear I’d get done
But the premise was just kind of weak
Like the moon you are cold, you are distant
Like the sun I can burn through the day
In the valley the echo gets longer
They’ve all gone away
Playing guitar and I’m forgetting words
Like a baby who just learned to speak
Unfinished songs that I swear I’d get done
But the premise was just kind of weak
There is time to reflect and ponder
As the chips fall where they may
I will live for the sake of others
So they can do the same
Перевод песни Capo, 4th Fret
Как ребенок, я могу сидеть в углу
С этими таблетками, я едва могу справиться, поэтому я жду часа одобрения
Десять минут, пока не станет пять,
И не наступит пятница, поэтому я не чувствую себя таким одиноким,
Я знаю, что сегодня ночью волки ушли.
Звук льда в бездонном стекле говорит мне, что все это прекрасно играет на гитаре, и я забываю слова, как ребенок, который только что научился говорить незаконченные песни, которые, клянусь, я бы сделал, но посылка была слабой, как луна, ты холоден, ты далек, как солнце, я могу прожечь день в долине, Эхо становится длиннее, они все ушли, играя на гитаре, и я забываю слова, как ребенок, который только что научился говорить незаконченные песни, которые, клянусь, я бы сделал, но посылка была просто слабой, есть время, чтобы отразить и где они падают, пусть я буду жить ради других, чтобы они могли делать то же самое.
Transposition chart for capo
A capo, or capo tasto in full length, is a device used for change the key without changing the tuning. You just attach the capo around the guitar neck on a fret that you choose and the pitch is raised (place the capo over the fretboard as you would do with your index finger playing a barre chord). Sometimes you see notes like «Capo 3» or «Capo 5». This mean that you should attach the capo around the guitar neck on these frets.
The capo is especially a splendid solution if you find it difficult to play barre chords. With the assistance of a capo you can rearrange the barre chords to open chords in new positions – see the chart below. The capo is furthermore a great tool for those who want to find new ways in their guitar playing.

Comment
To the left you see diagrams with chord shapes and next to them the chord names. The numbers on the top indicates on which fret the capo is placed. If you place the capo on the third fret and play the Am chord shape, we find out by the chart that the result is a Cm chord. You can of course go further than the sixth fret, but it will soon be very short of room for your fingers. See a picture of fretboard with notes or see capo chord chart.
Examples of how the chord changes
C Capo 2 = D | C Capo 4 = E | C Capo 5 = F
D Capo 2 = E | D Capo 3 = F | D Capo 5 = G
E Capo 1 = F | E Capo 3 = G | E Capo 5 = A
G Capo 2 = A | G Capo 4 = B | G Capo 5 = C
A Capo 2 = B | A Capo 3 = C | A Capo 5 = D
Dm Capo 2 = Em | Dm Capo 3 = Fm | Dm Capo 5 = Gm
Em Capo 1 = Fm | Em Capo 3 = Gm | Em Capo 5 = Am

Examples of how the key changes
So, if you have music written in the key of C# and I want to play it in A? In this case you could put the capo on fret 8, but it wouldn’t be very practical. In this case you should probably not use a capo at all but transpose the whole music piece to another key. There are programs for that, for example Guitar Pro for guitar.
Emulated tunings
The capo changes the effective tuning of the guitar. If the capo is placed on the first fret, for instance, it will emulate the following tuning:
1st string (the thinnest) = F
2nd string = C
3rd string = G# / Ab
4th string = D# / Eb
5th string = A# / Bb
6th string (the thickest) = F

Capo with open strings
The capo must not be put over all strings. It can for instance be put over the 2-6 strings leaving the high E-string open, or, over the 1-5 strings leaving the low E-string open. In both cases new interesting sounds is the result.
Choose the right capo
There are many models of a capo nowadays and accordingly the price fluctuates a bit. The cheapest with just an elastic band can be bought for a few dollars. But it is recommended that you use capos that are specially made to fit an arched or a plain guitar neck. The price for these capos varies between 20 and 40 dollars.
