-

-
7th fret.
-
5th fret.
-
3rd fret.
Correct Answer
A. 3rd fret.Explanation
To transpose a song from the key of C to the key of Eb, the therapist needs to place the capo on the 3rd fret. This is because when the capo is placed on the 3rd fret, it effectively raises the pitch of all the open strings by three half steps. By doing so, the therapist can play the same chord shapes and patterns as they would in the key of C, but the actual sound produced will be in the key of Eb.Rate this question:
