Of course, if you didn't mind the original key being shifted up a whole step, you can do the same thing in drop D capo 6. (Just depends who's singing....) You get interesting results from CGCGBE, capo 6. Even fewer stretches, because now you get open strings where you had fret 2 before! It does make one or two other elements of the piece a little less intuitive; but it could be useful if you had to lower the key (for whoever is singing).

I've got the same problem with "Bleed to Love Her." I've watched a video of him playing it in concert tuning by partially barring the A chord at the second fret and stretching for the melody with his pinky. I simply can't stretch that far. Instead I came up with an elegant partial capo at the second fret leaving the low E open and working around the G chord shape, I dare say it allows a cleaner sound than he gets.

Anyway, for Bleed to Love Her I settled on an arrangement with a full capo at the first fret, something like this: Code:
G ---------3--------3-----3--------3--------3----- ------------------------------------------------ ------0--------0--------------0--------0-------- ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ ---3--------3--------3-----3--------3----------- Gmaj7 Dsus2 ---2--------2--------2----------0--------0--------0-- ----------------------------------------------------- ---------0--------0-------------------2--------2----- -----------------------------------0--------0-------- ------3--------3-----------3------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- G --------------------------------------------------------- ---3--------3--------3--------------3--------3----------- ---------0--------0--------0-----0--------0--------0----- --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------2--------2--------2-------- ------3--------3--------3-------------------------------- Gsus4 Dsus2 ----------------------------------------------------- ---------3--------3----------------3--------3-------- ------0--------0----------0-----2--------2--------2-- -----------------------------0--------0--------0----- ---3--------3--------2p0----------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- |

To those suggesting the capo 6 version I've decided that's the route I'm going to take. A little frustrated not being able to play it the way most other folks seem to be able to, and I'll still fool around with the capo 4 version here and there since I'm in drop D quite often. But SprintBob is right, why make it hard.
Thanks to all, this has been a good thread. Steve W |

I agree. Personally I don't have too much of a problem with the fret 4 stretch, but I find myself sketching the RH moves a little (not always including that 3rd string).
