Hi Guys any helps appreciated here
Im wondering how NOEL usess capos when playing with another guitrist who isnt using one
an example is Oasis, Gem very rarely ever used a Capo but Noel would use one on the same song say on the 5th fret or 7th
how does this work and what chords would Noel play etc if using the capo On the last album when i watched the documentary about the making of it noel used capos a lot up in higher frets whilst Gem didnt use any any breakdown is appreciated
Thanks Guys

Often Noel played rhythm guitar, while Gem played lead, which usually has more solos and riffs rather than chords. This guitar playing style usually doesn't require a capo. If you look at the way Noel used to play lead back in the 90s you won't often see him use a capo either, when Bonehead played rhythm instead of him.

A capo essentially shifts the key of the song up X amount of semitones. So a capo on the second fret means that every chord shape is 2 semitones higher than its name states (a C chord becomes an D). So if a guitar with a capo at 2 plays a C chord and a guitar with no capo plays a D chord, then they are both playing the same chord (different inversions, but both are playing D chords).

Yeah watch Bonehead play Wonderwall like a boss, he'd play Rhythm without the Capo usually, whereas Noel would play it Capo 2 original style, and Capo 3, Ryan Adams style... Now when im chord guessing tunes, my first instinct is to try a few classic Noel shapes on Capo 2 and 3. He's shifted so many older songs up to using Capo 2 and 3, like Supersonic, Rock N Roll Star, Half the World Away.. The good thing about this is if you cannot hit Noel's falsetto vocals, you can take off the capo and play it down a few semi tones!

It has been explained already, but the basis of it is in lead playing open notes aren't that common, and a capo has no effect on fretted notes.
