Especially with a Resonator guitar, like the song was recorded with. When you detune a guitar a Whole Step though, it gives you that growly, swampy, bluesy banjo sound with a capo.
Using either method will give you the same final chords/pitches while playing the chord shapes of Em C G D (above the capo) and will be in tune with the original recording.
If you did NOT detune, place the CAPO on the THIRD FRET. Regarding the CAPO placement for this song, if you want to recreate the ORIGINAL RECORDING then you have to DETUNE ALL 6 strings 1 Whole Step, to DGCFAD and then you can place the capo on the 5th fret. Chords listed are not to be confused with actual chord NAMES, they are just telling you the chord SHAPE to play above the capo, wherever the capo is placed. Here’s some easy Theory for beginners confused by the chord names being incorrect and why some people put the capo on the 3rd fret and others use the 5th fret.Īs far as the chord names seeming "off" to some people, this chord chart lists the chords properly using the CAGED Chord Naming Convention, it is NOT listing the actual chord names, it is only naming the chords for their “SHAPES” taken from "open position Cowboy Chords" (Em, C, G, D) all played above the capo, wherever the capo is placed.
