The Shubb Transposing
Guide and Capo Placement guide
instructions for use |
|
The instructions printed on the guide itself are fairly complete, and its use should be reasonably apparent. But if they are not completely clear to you, here is a further explanation. First, for the TRANSPOSING GUIDE side, which we regard as the "business side." |
|
And now for the CAPO PLACEMENT side, which is
sort of the "bonus" side.
|
|
While the capo placement guide will mostly be helpful for novice capo users, there can be a benefit for experienced players, too. In the example shown here (Bb) most players would automatically place their capo at the third fret and play in G position. Or perhaps the first fret and play in A position. Because that is such a habit, they may overlook the other possibilities shown on the guide, such as capoing at the fifth fret and using the F position, etc. In this way, the guide can suggest some less common (but perhaps interesting) options. |
