Only with a capo on the 1st fret, the chords you play will sound as if you are playing in Eb (also known as D#). Because with a capo, instead of having to try to play all those difficult Eb chord shapes, you just put a capo on the 1st fret and transpose the chords to D (just to determine which chord shapes to play) and play the chord shapes that you would play if the song were transposed to D. Now if you mean you want to play the song in Eb (key it's written in) but are like most guitarist and prefer not to have to play some of the chord shapes that Eb demands, then a capo is definitely in order. If for some strange reason you like the Eb chord shapes and can actually play them - there is still no need for a capo since all the Eb chord shapes are barre chords anyway - you would just move all your shapes up 4 frets. ![]() ![]() If your song is in Eb and you want to play in in the key of G - by all means, transpose to the key of G and play all those easy 1st position chords with open strings and forget the capo. I cannot think of any logical reason why you would want to use a capo to transpose a song from the key of Eb to the key of G.
