What you are playing
Chords for American Hustle: Recorded Live @ laNau, laid out across its 3:32 exactly where they fall. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 2 the same song becomes F♯m Em B D E A F C Dm Am G D♯ G♯ A♯ G♯m, which sits easier under the hand. Every one of its 15 chords is a plain triad, so three notes under the right hand covers the whole song.

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.
