Capo 1 Guitar Songs
Popular guitar songs you play with a capo on fret 1.
These 169 popular guitar songs are played with a capo on the 1st fret. A capo lets you keep easy open-chord shapes while raising the pitch to match the original key or your voice, so songs that would otherwise need barre chords stay beginner-friendly. Try Black Diamond, Onze Jan Is Manager Geworden, and Dil Sambhal Ja Zara Phir Mohabbat to start; every song page also lets you transpose if you'd rather move the capo.
