A capo is a clip-like tool you use to place it on any fret through all 6 strings (in case of a standard stringed guitar). It helps you to play a song or tune on a different note or scale without having to tune your guitar.

capo is a device used to clamp the strings to raise the tuning of the guitar. i.e if your guitar is in Eb (E FLAT) tuning and you place the capo on the first fret, you guitar would be at E standard tuning :)
