What you are playing
Chords for 紅蓮華 / THE FIRST TAKE, laid out across its 5:30 exactly where they fall. Most of it sits in E minor. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 7 the same song becomes F G Am Em A C G♯ E, which sits easier under the hand. Every one of its 8 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.
