Cheap Guitar Trick #1: Capo (pt 2)

Not to mention that once you have capo'd up, you can shift it back down a couple of frets just in case you aren't like every single 'worship artist' out there with a high girlyboy voice that's happy cruising around above middle C for bars at a time.

By the way, someone once told me that when it comes to congregational music, 'D' is for 'danger'. That is, once you hit 'D' one and a bit octaves above middle C, most of your congregation are going to have issues with that note (think 'on Christ the solid rock I stand'). Let's keep it where we can all sing it, people.

Capo up to put it in a guitar-friendly key, then shift the capo back down to shift the key a tone or so lower. Your blokes will thank you.
