After third, 2nd fret is close behind followed by 4th fret. There's probably some complex mathematical equation involving things likes frequencies and resonance and other big words that explains it, but I just like the sound. I could sit around all day long strumming with a capo on the third fret.
Could not agree with you guys more. I ABSOLUTELY rely on my capo, and tend to use it most often in the 2, 3 or 4 fret.............If you watch some of MY heros...........Townes Van Zandt, Jackson Browne, Richard Shindell.........they do the same...................

Takes a well setup guitar and a GOOD capo, but it does make a guitar come alive for certain music.............
