Playing the EZ-AG

14

EZ-AG

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.

 

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:
