If a certain chord family doesn’t create a practical option within the first few frets, that window is intentionally left blank.
This tool is designed to prioritize real-world playability.
If you’ve ever thought, “Can we just do this in G?” — this was made for you.
Designed to feel like a small, durable piece of gear you can keep in your case.
Each Chordii Capo Guide is individually printed, engraved, and assembled by hand in Indiana.
Because of this small-batch process, inventory is released in limited runs while production continues to scale.
Slight cosmetic variation between units is normal and part of the handmade process.
The Chordii Capo Guide is a small rotating tool that helps guitar players quickly see where to place a capo so they can stay in familiar chord families (G-shapes, C-shapes, D-shapes, etc.)
Instead of guessing during rehearsal or doing mental math between songs, you simply rotate the wheel to the original song key.
The front windows then show the practical fret positions where those common chord shapes will work.
If a certain option doesn’t make sense within the first few frets, that window is intentionally left blank. This tool focuses on real playing situations, not every theoretical possibility.
Those letters on the front (G, C, D, A, E) are not individual chords.
They are chord families — meaning a full set of chords in a new key.
When you choose one, you’re not just playing a G chord.
You’re stepping into the “G world” — where all your chords follow the G shapes you already know.
So instead of thinking:
“Play a G chord”
Think:
“Play the song using G-shape chords”
That means:
The tool is showing you how to change keys without changing how you play
The original Chordii wheel is paper-based and designed for broader music theory learning.
The Capo Companion is built specifically for quick, in-the-moment capo decisions.
It’s designed to feel like a tiny piece of real gear, not a study tool.
It won’t teach you everything about music theory. It will help you play the song right now.
Each unit is designed, 3D printed, laser engraved, and assembled by hand — right here in our Indiana shop. Inventory is released in limited runs while production continues to scale.
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 25 reviews.
This Capo Guide is a great resource for playing songs in different keys using familiar chord progressions. No guesswork just dial in the key you want and quickly get where to place the capo and what chord patterns to play in. Made of a rugged plastic material that won't tear or degrade over time. Excellent product, worth every penny!
Love this product, quick and easy!
everyone loves them.
great
excellent product and works perfectly
Chordii's products are extremely useful and high-quality. They have helped me so much in making music and transposing in real time! I take my wheel everywhere!
A very well made, easy to use tool for those of us who are a bit theory challenged and use a capo to match original recordings
great tool !!
Shared it with a good friend! Works great!
I bought this for members of my band. They love it. I need to order 2 more when available. Thank you!!
My Cordii arrived a few days ago and I am very pleased with it. It is very well made and I’m certain that someone wanting a tool like this one will be very pleased with it’s build quality and it’s ease of use.
I ordered a second one for a band member...
Thanks for the fast shipping to Hawaii
The graphics on the instructions do not match the actual unit which is confusing. I have designated today to trying to figure the unit out. Will have a better handle on the situation then.
Store owner replied: Hey, John! Thanks for the feedback. I've updated the instruction page so it's easier to navigate and find what you're looking for.
Nice addition to my chordii collection. The recesses on the turning wheel meant to help spin to different keys are too smooth. The only way I can turn the wheel is to pinch it between my fingers. If you made the wheel to spin with less resistance, then maybe the recesses in the wheel would be sufficient. Otherwise nice!
Store owner replied: Thanks so much, Stuart! And that’s great feedback. The recesses were originally designed just to catch the internal springs for positioning, not necessarily as a grip. It was always intended to be more of a pinch-and-spin or thumbwheel feel. That said, you’re absolutely right. I can dial in the tolerances so it spins a bit easier, which should make those recesses more useful in practice. Really appreciate you taking the time to share that. It helps me keep improving these.
It’s great and very helpful! Would love to see it work for guitars tuned a half step down.
I love the simplicity of this tool! It is going to be so helpful with creating different soundscapes on the guitar!
Great guitar assistant!
Would love to have received even a brief tutorial . Looking forward to working with this!!!
I have never been very good at using my capo. The light bulb just went on, I get it. Thank you Brian S chordii... I am just learning about the Nashville Numbering System. I have Neal Matthews excellent book. I think, I can see how chordii will help. Here's the suggestion, not every customer is 20/30 years old. Improve the web site explanation, and assuming all your customers "scan" a big mistake. Include a way better "how to use" guide, Brian S
Store owner replied: Brian — I really appreciate you taking the time to write this. And I’m grateful to hear that the light bulb started to come on for you. That’s the whole reason I built Chordii. I also want to genuinely thank you for the honest feedback. You’re right. I’m a solo founder and product designer first, and sometimes I get so focused on creating and launching the tool itself that I don’t slow down enough to clearly teach what I actually built or how to use it step-by-step. That’s on me, and it’s something I’m actively working to improve. Your point about not every customer wanting to just “scan” the site is a really important reminder. I want Chordii to serve players of all ages and learning styles, especially those who are taking the time to truly understand music theory. Thanks again for the encouragement and for helping me make this better. — Andrew
I love it! A really quick tool that shows the proper capo position for any given key to accommodate your favorite chord shapes.
Works well
It’s ok
Well, I'm no player, but at 77 yrs old and just learning the harmonic circles for a specific key, then I can fret the guitar so I can play it in the key I know. Does that makes sense?
Only wish it had an instruction with examples
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for the 5-star review! I really appreciate it. That’s great feedback about instructions and examples. I was honestly just excited to get the new product out into players’ hands and launched before I had everything fully ready. I’m putting together a simple guide now and will email you a copy as soon as it’s done.
