Play it easier with a capo
- Capo on fret 2 + Em shape → sounds as F♯m
- Capo on fret 4 + Dm shape → sounds as F♯m
- Capo on fret 6 + Cm shape → sounds as F♯m
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.
