I need some help! I play 6 string guitar and I play at a church and the music leader makes me do all these hard song that have alot of flats in them and I just don't feel like I'm doing a good job at playing bar chords on them and I don't know how to turn it into capo. So if any of you want to give me some help on this it would be greatly needed. If you'll know a web site that would show me the chords i'm playing when I put on capos that would help.

First of all learning how to change a song's key is a must. Second of all, I never, ever, EVER play a song that's chordially intricate. So...

Oh wait, I just realized you weren't leading... um, I use the website chordfind dot com. The reverse chord find is slick.

well I know the chords like one song i am doing is Ab, Eb, Db, and I just am tired of playing bar chords and I want to use a capo that and my youth pastor wants to playbut he doesn't know bar chords so I was going to teach him how to just but a capo over a freat and play in the same key but I don't know what keys are what after you put a capo on.

You know A, A#/Bb, B, C, C#/Db, D, D#/Eb, E, F, F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab? If the capo is on fret 5, you'll be playing 5 notes above the chord. So let's say your playing a D#, you'll have to count five notes above D# to determine the chord your actually making. 1 - E, 2 - F, 3 - F#, 4 - G, 5 - G# or Ab.

Say you put a capo on fret 1 and you're playing an A. You're actually 1 note higher than an A, which means your actually playing an Ab.

If you play A one fret higher you will not be playing Ab. You will be playing A#...
If you play G one fret higher then you will be playing Ab. I'm sure this is what chrisforshort meant. I just wanted to make sure that it was clear so no one is confused...
So, if you put the capo on the first fret and play G, you will be playing an Ab chord (which is the same as G#) If you play D you will be playing D# or Eb. And if you play C it will make is C# or Dd.
If you play G one fret higher then you will be playing Ab. I'm sure this is what chrisforshort meant. I just wanted to make sure that it was clear so no one is confused...

I know a good place to print up guitar chords but am still too new to post links. If you contact me, I'll pass it on to you.
BTW, I just got a capo in the mail today. I lost mine about a month or 2 ago. I go jamming once a month at the art center here in town. Must have set it down. I put my name and phone number on my new one (using masking tape & a "Sharpie" pen to write on the front). I have a way of setting things down and forgetting about them. Hope someone honest finds it if I do that again. I'm lost w/o my capo. I'm OK on the guitar (capo-less) because I can play in quite a few keys, but I also play the 5-string banjo and it's pretty much a "G" instrument w/o a capo. (I'll play the banjo in "C" once in a blue moon when I'm feeling creative).

Now that I'm not a newbie anymore, I can leave you the links:
Guitar Chords: http://www.geocities.com/sandymeyers/basicguitarchords.html
Chord Progression:
http://www.geocities.com/sandymeyers/chordprogressions.html
They should be printable. If not, copy and paste them on a bitmap ("paint") and print them from there.
Also, here's a "Guitar Chords Generator/Finder" but it's not printable.
