The key in the vid is B and you can capo 4 and play it in B. If your key is the same as the video, it's in B. If you play E Bm D A, you are not in the same key as the video. I would not capo 4 to play it in E. I'd capo 2 and play the shapes of D Am C G. That would put you in E.

It's S Q U I E R! Not Squire. Look at your guitar!
