Change the key of any guitar song and keep playing the shapes you already know. Paste your chords, choose the current and target keys, and every chord moves by the same interval so the song sounds identical, just higher or lower.
Guitarists often transpose to fit a singer's range or to swap awkward barre chords for open positions. Pair the transposer with the capo finder below to see which fret lets you play easy open shapes while sounding in the key you want.
