What you are playing
Chords for A Beautiful Life (From the Netflix Film ‘A Beautiful Life’), laid out across its 3:53 exactly where they fall. Most of it sits in B major. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 4 the same song becomes G Bm Em C D B, which sits easier under the hand. Every one of its 6 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.
