Putting the capo on your guitar
There are many different types of capos. One very common type,
and usually the least expensive ($2 or $3 US) is an elastic capo.
Not the best, but it will work well enough to get you started.
| Place the capo in about the middle
of the fret |
 |
| Stretch the elastic around the
neck and hook it. You want to make sure that it is tight enough
to clamp all of the strings down. Make sure there is not any
buzzing. |
 |
| Also make sure that none of the
strings are pulled to the side. If they are, then your guitar
will be out of tune. |

Acoustic guitars will usually require a double elastic capo.
A single elastic capo will not create enough presser to barre
the strings on an acoustic.
Other types of capos clap the strings down in various ways, but
the idea for all of them is the same.
