"That'll Never Happen No More" by Blind Blake (capo 5, orig-cut/capo 7 alt-cut if I remember correctly). Also, you might want to try putting your capo on the second-fret barring only strings 1,2,3,4,5 leaving the 6 open. You'll have "Dropped-E".....the E will play like a D-shaped chord, the true-A will now play like a G-shaped chord, the true-B will now play like an A-shaped chord, etc. Almost like playing in dropped-D, but all the other chords are played normally.

You can play anything you want to with a capo, as long as it doesn't go too high.

yeah, i'll play anything w/ a capo, mainly because most of the songs i play/sing are originally a guy singing, and i cant sing that low, so i have to make it a bit higher

[halfmoonbay]

Bare Naked Ladies stuff ('Old Apartment,' 'Brian Wilson,' etc etc), Rory Gallagher ('I Fall Apart')..................

Vince, what chords are you playing with Blowin' In The Wind when you capo at the seventh?! I play it in G or in D (using the C-F-G Chords capoed at the second fret)....

I couldn't agree anymore
Sounds great with the capoed 7 and with someone else playing non capo

Free Falling is a good one too, one guitar is capoed 4 i think it is (not really sure), and the other plays non capo

John Mayer - Comfortable (capo 3)
A very beautiful song actually, I think he's underated as a guitarist. He has a very creative style

John Mayer - Love Song For Noone

The Calling - Wherever You Will Go

Elton John's - Rocket Man
I play this Capo 3

[mojomaniac]

3 am - Matchbox 20 (Capo 1)

Who is the mod in this forum? You guys should make a thread with all the songs in this thread (songs with a capo) and pin it. If you want, I could do it, and you can pin it for me.

The reason I suggest this, is because, even though I haven't been here all that long, this type of post seems to come up a lot.

I'll give the mod a PM of this message, just in case he/she doesn't read this.

Yeh, TABs are more often than not wrong.

Once saw a song ("Raglan Road", trad. Irish) to be played capoed at the 8th fret. It sounded well horrible.

i'm quite sure it was wrong... couldn't even sing the damn song... i guess it's a lower capo then.

[capo2nd]

Probably lower if at all capoed. All depends on the key in which you sing most dynamically.
