Play G chord shapes wothout capo - Key of G

PLAY G chords with capo:-
capo 1st fret - key = G#
capo 2nd fret - key = A
capo 3rd fret - key = Bb
capo 4th fret - key = B
capo 5th fret - Key = C
capo 6th fret - key = C#
capo 7th fret - key = D
capo 8th fret - key = Eb
capo 9th fret - key = E
capo 10th fret - key = F
capo 11th fret - key - F#
capo 12th fret - key - G (octave higher than open chords)


likewise any chords play will increase by a semitone everytime you move the capo higher up the fretboard.

eg if you play a   G Em C D chords rotation in the open position and then play the same chord shapes with a capo on the 7th Fret you will be playing D Bm G A

If the chord shapes on the music are in D (as per you above) and you wish to play the same chord shapes but want the Key to be A place the capo on 7TH FRET

Hope the above makes things a little clearer?
