Let’s start off by playing a simple chord progression. It’s in the key of G. We’ll play one measure each of the G chord, the C chord in the D chord. Go ahead and play along with me.

Now you’ve heard what this progression sounds like in the key of G. Let’s put the capo on the second fret.  We’re going to play the same chord forms. Remember this will raise the key up one step to the key of A. You will be playing the G chord form but the sound will be one step higher. Here we go.

Play these chord forms: |G///|C///|D///|G///|

(Sounds in the key of A:  A – D – E – A)
