Terz guitar (Terz meaning third) refers to either a small sized classical guitar or to the practice of tuning a standard guitar a minor third higher than standard guitar tuning (as though a capo were on the third fret of the guitar). The scale length is generally 530 mm (20.8 inches), though sometimes as long as 560 mm (22 inches).
For chords, a letter above or below the tablature staff denotes the root note of the chord, chord notation is also usually relative to a capo, so chords played with a capo are transposed. Chords may also be notated with chord diagrams. Examples of guitar tablature notation: The chords E, F, and G as an ASCII tab:
Spring clamp capo A guitar capo with a lever-operated over-centre locking action clamp Demonstrating the peg removal feature on an Adagio guitar capo. A capo (/ ˈ k eɪ p oʊ ˌ k æ-ˌ k ɑː-/ KAY-poh, KAH-; short for capodastro, capo tasto or capotasto [ˌkapoˈtasto], Italian for "head of fretboard") [a] is a device a musician uses on the neck of a stringed (typically fretted) instrument ...
The suspended fourth chord is often played inadvertently, or as an adornment, by barring an additional string from a power chord shape (e.g., E5 chord, playing the second fret of the G string with the same finger barring strings A and D); making it an easy and common extension in the context of power chords.

Each can clamp any of the 63 combinations of strings at any fret of any guitar. Only the SpiderCapo can produce any combination at a given fret without repositioning the capo. Shubb and Kyser each make a 3-string "E-sus" capo as well as a 5-string "Drop-E" capo. Woodie's G-Band capos clamp 1 or 2 outer strings, and Kyser now makes a series of ...
For example: on a guitar, VII 4 indicates a barre on the 7th fret over the highest four strings (D, G, B, and E). There is no rule for whether to write full barre chords with indices (e.g., "6" for a standard guitar) or without. It is a matter of the editor's personal taste. [13]
Advanced guitar chords may rely on the use of open strings alongside strings fretted in higher positions. For example fretting the E-barre shape on the fifth fret without the barre allows the open E, A and E to ring alongside the higher position E, A and C#. The strumming on the middle section of "Stairway to Heaven" is played using such chords ...
