Using The Capo Function; Tuning - Yamaha 2 EZ-AG Owner's Manual

Playing the EZ-AG

Using the CAPO Function

The EZ-AG's virtual capo functions in the same way as a normal guitar capo, "stopping" the strings at the spec-
ified fret. The EZ-AG CAPO function can be applied up to the sixth fret. Some guitar books include capo indica-
tions that can make setting this function easy.
1
Press the [CAPO] button.
2
Select the capo position (fret).
Use the [+] and [-] buttons to select the fret at which you want to position the
capo. You can select frets 0 through 6. All fret buttons at the selected fret
position will glow.
START/STOP

Tuning

After pressing the [TUNING] button you can use the [+] and [-] buttons to raise or lower the overall pitch of the
EZ-AG in semitone steps up to one octave. For example, a setting of "-1" lowers the pitch by one semitone; a
setting of "+4" raises the pitch by four semitones (an interval of a third); or a setting of "-12" lowers the pitch by
a full octave. This makes it easy to play the EZ-AG in any key – to match the range of a singer, for example.
The EZ-AG also provides four alternative tunings which can be selected by pressing the [+] button beyond the
"+12" setting: Drop D, Open D, Open G, and Open E.
