Next, list those chords out in number order so G looks like this. I generally recommend G but any key that you are most familiar with all the typical chords will do. To transpose this into something easier to play we need to start with a key you are familiar with on guitar. Let’s say we have a song in the key of Bb with a few tricky chords as per the chart below. Even if you’re not au fait with Nashville or chord theory it’s a straightforward process so if that’s you try giving this idea a go. I work with a lot of players who encounter this kind of thing on a weekly basis and rather than trying to struggle through on barre chords I encourage them to transpose the chart using a familiar key, a capo and the Nashville Numbering System. You are an acoustic guitarist working with a worship leading keyboard player and are asked to play songs in non guitar friendly keys but you are only presented with a chord chart in the keyboard based keys like Bb and Eb and F. We’ve had some emails asking us to go over the technique again (it’s covered in detail on our Intermediate Acoustic Guitar Course and our new Capo Positioning & Transposing for Guitar Course) so here is a quick overview. Here at Musicademy we ran a training day recently and one of the most popular topics in the guitar seminar was about transposing using a capo. Otherwise known as “Which fret does the capo go on?”
