I watch everyone from Johnny Cash to Neil Young playing open position chords with no capo.
I have been playing 4+ years and just don't get this part at all.
So enlighten me you guitar music wizards.  |
I don't understand what you mean by "song lessons".
"I do not understand how ones voice can be in a specific key."
Many of us -who play blues, bluegrass or other styles prefer to play 1st position shapes, and a capo enables us to do so playing in a key that best suits our voice/arrangement.
Hope that helps.
