Transposing for your voice
If a song sits too high, move it down two or three semitones; if it feels low and muddy, move it up. Then use the capo finder to keep familiar chord shapes on the guitar.
Frequently asked questions
How do I transpose chords to another key?
Move every chord by the same number of semitones. Paste the chords here and press plus or minus, and each chord, including slash chords, changes for you.
What capo position should I use?
The one that turns the most chords into easy open shapes such as G, C, D, Em and Am. The capo finder lists the best positions for your song.
Will transposing change my lyrics?
No. Only chord symbols change; lyrics, section names and spacing stay as you pasted them.
