The fretboard is the area of your guitar where you play
Some songs require a capo. A capo is just a clamp which you can place on any fret. This effectively moves
the 'nut' of the guitar, allowing you to play 'open' chords higher up the fretboard. In ActionTab the capo is represented by the black bar on the left.| Shortcut | Action |

A good tune for new beginners (especially Australians) to practice. Waltzing Matilda is Australia's most famous bush ballad. It is regarded by many as the unofficial national anthem of Australia. Originally written as a Poem by Banjo Paterson in 1903, this country folk song is now known throughout the world.
