if i play a standard 13″ soprano ukulele tuned g c e a. what should a regular acoustic guitar be capo’d in for the chords to match.

because when i play with a friend despite us playing the same chords it sounds off. so i suppose the guitar has to be capo’d higher?

thanks in advance!

How to turn a Guitar into a Ukulele (with a Capo)

www.ukulala.com This is a short video describing where to place a capo on a standard tuned guitar to make it playable in the same positions and notes as a ukulele.

It’s difficult to avoid the top two strings, but if you can manage it you will be able to practice your ukulele songs even when the only thing around is a guitar (and a capo).
