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 :)

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.

Every fret you move down changes the note by half a step. let's say your guitar is standard tuned. EBGDAE. If you place the capo on the first fret, your tuning becomes FCG#D#A#F. Capo on second fret makes it F#C#AEBF# and so on Similarly normal shaped chords also increase by half a note. With capo on fret 1, holding standard A chord will sound like an A# and so on. read less

Is it worth spending 2000 per month for a private guitar tuitor,  the teacher claims he will teach me ear training also? Please reply asap, thanks 
Well, if you are confident that you can learn then go for it, music is not cheap so you have to pay. Ear training is not an option to teach, a music teacher must need to teach along with the sight reading.

What guitar strings do top professionals use?
It really doesn't matter what strings we use. The sound depends on the way we play the guitar and also the health of those strings. So, dont worry about the brand of the strings...just enjoy the music you play!
