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 specified fret. The EZ-AG CAPO function can be applied up to the sixth fret. Some guitar books include capo indications that can make setting this function easy. 1 Press the [CAPO] button. PLAY MODE 1 2 3 STRUM CHORD BOTH START/STOP START/STOP START/STOP DEMO START/STOP SOUND SELECT SONG SELECT VALUE RESET C0 TEMPO CAPO VOLUME TUNING The current CAPO position will appear on the display. 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. 3 BOTH START/STOP SONG SELECT VALUE RESET C3 TEMPO CAPO VOLUME TUNING • The CAPO setting only applies to the played sound (not to the song playback sound). 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. 3 BOTH START/STOP SONG SELECT VALUE RESET drd TEMPO CAPO VOLUME TUNING The number of semitones tuned or the type of alternative tuning selected will appear on the display.
