Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.

just add 2.5 steps to each chord and thats what chord is played with a capo on 5th..

ie playing a G formation makes a C chord. playing a D makes a G.

just another note...don't know if you were implying what i think you were with this subject title or not...but a capo on the fifth fret actually brings everything up a fourth, like shane said...so you're not dealing with fifths, except the fifth fret...just wanted to clarify
B+P by offer only...thank you
