"put capo on second fret for all below" you mean to say. i'm supposed to stop playing half way through the song and change position of the capo, i'm sure the audience will be very patient for the 30 odd seconds this will take, i don't think.
idiot.
Are you could use your brain a modulate the chords. That is if you know anything about music beyond reading tabs
