The instructions for the capo seem strange to me. As written, it amounts to E = F#, B = C#, and A = B, all bar chords. If the capo got you out of having to do any bar chords, I'd get it, but the B means using a capo just makes you have to go back and forth from open to bar...am I just missing something here?
-Geiiga | 1/14/2010 | My guess is that Steve tuned down a step to go G-D-C. Also, in the bridge, (in key of E), in the 3rd line, it goes from B up a step to C#m/F#/B, (or in key of G: Em/A/D), then walks down to A (C), to resolve back to root E to start the next verse. I think.
-jimmie_socks | 12/28/2013 | If Steve is doing what he usually does then he is using a capo on all but the low E string (only some capos will work this way.) Also he says he 'almost always writes in G.' This gives a great low E string sound (which is not capoed) when you play an E chord by doing the D chord shape at 4 and 5 fret position. He does this on The Other Kind, Have Mercy and most songs that he capos at 2nd fret....I don't think I've ever seen him use a capo at the second fret when he didn't exclude the low E string.
Sometimes he even uses 2 capos. The first to raise the key and the second to give him 'that sound' again excluding the low E.
This trick only works at the second fret btw....but it really works! Try it and you'll be very nicely surprised at the new tone you'll get.
