Although I had one right from the start I never really got into
using a capo. If I needed a different key, I used different chords
to get that, not that my fingers didn't wander a little higher up
the fretboard than the first 3 frets at times..  B)

Actually, way back when playing rock music on an electric guitar
with our group - 3 guitars and a drummer - I'd occasionally play
they same music once up the keyboard using simplified bar chords
and then the next time, using chords staying down just to confuse
people..

At least for the first year I was the only one who could play
real chords, the others were more just hitting single notes that
went along with the song, more like playing bass than treble.

I wrote several songs that we played and figured out how to play
other songs that were popular at the time.
