"If you play a song and then put a capo on and play the SAME chord shapes - the key will definitely change. It will change by one half step per fret."

Thanks....That's what was confusing....I didn't realize one was talking about changing chord shapes with a capo and another was talking about playing the same chord shapes with the capo.
So is it right to say that without changing chord shapes and a piece of music is written in the key of "C" and you put a capo on the fifth fret, you are now playing the song in the key of "F"?
Sorry so stupid!
