What you are playing
Chords for El Toba - Studio, laid out across its 4:29 exactly where they fall. Most of it sits in F minor. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 1 the same song becomes B G♯ C Em E D G Bm A Am D♯ Cm F, which sits easier under the hand. Every one of its 13 chords is a plain triad, so three notes under the right hand covers the whole song.

The same song, moved. Every row is El Toba - Studio shifted by that many semitones — useful when the recording sits too high or too low for your voice. The chords keep their relationships, so the song is unchanged apart from its pitch.

On a guitar there is a shortcut in one direction: transpose down by n and put a capo on fret n, and you are back at the original pitch while playing the easier shapes. That is what the capo line above is doing.
