What you are playing
Chords for Man I Need, laid out across its 3:22 exactly where they fall. Most of it sits in F♯ major. It leans on barre chords — with a capo on fret 6 the same song becomes G C Em D, every one of them an open shape. Every one of its 4 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.
