Capos and Keys
I'm confused! While reading an article about capos, it described how a chord moved up a half step when placing the capo on the first fret, one full note on the second fret, etc., etc., this I understand. But then when describing what key the song was played in, they say that a song in "G" played with a capo on the fifth fret is now in "D" and a song that is in "C" and you put a capo on the fifth fret, you are now in "G". Am I not doing the math right or does it not work the same way with chords as it does with keys?
thanks in advance,
