Play it easier with a capo
- Capo on fret 2 + E7 shape → sounds as F♯7
- Capo on fret 4 + D7 shape → sounds as F♯7
- Capo on fret 6 + C7 shape → sounds as F♯7
- Capo on fret 7 + B7 shape → sounds as F♯7
If barre chords are hard, clamp a capo and play an open shape — it sounds exactly the same. The Buskermate app can move a whole chord sheet to any capo position for you.
