"Hi, my name is Bonnie Barnard. On behalf of Expert Village I'm going to teach you how to use a capo. A capo is used for convenience a lot of people call it going into capo. If you are a girl it makes sense because a lot of songs are in low keys and the way we bring it up that we can sing in a higher key is buy using a capo. What you do is you can buy any capo you want from the store these are frets the gold bars what you want to do is want to take the capo and put it anywhere on the neck. It doesn't matter just put it behind the fret of it don't put it on top of it put it right behind it. If you put it on top it won't make any noise so you put it right on top of it press it down make sure it's behind the fret. What it does is it raises the key to the song so that way if everybody's voice is different it will make it so that you sound good."
