Hi all,

Just dropping in to ask a quick question that should be obvious but Mr. Google is not finding exactly the answer I seek.

If the song is written in G, but I want to record it with the capo on the second fret (thus transposing it to A), is the song considered to be in A or in G with a capo, and either way, how would I notate that at the top of a chord chart?

[br]Thank you in advance for answer, which I'm sure is obvious once I know what it is.
