    I remember it like this: With no capo on you are at the root for the chord shape. So if you are in an e chord shape, there is no capo for e. If you move up a half with the capo you would be at an f with the e chord shape. If you move up a whole step from there with the capo you would be at a g with the e chord shape. Another whole step with the capo an a…another whole step a b… another half step a c (half steps are between b and c and e and f, all others are whole steps). I hope that helps.

    I would memorize the major scale sequence (W,W,h,W,W,W,h) I remember it as major is 2 and 3 shared (meaning 2 whole steps and a break and 3 whole steps and a break). I remember Minor scale sequence (W,h,W,W,h,W,W) as minor is 1 and 2 and 2. It is a lot but it opens a new door.

    Ha. Must be next Christmas! (But I’ll think about a New Year’s camp fire with friends, Old Ange Syne)

    I’ve got my lighter out and waving it (I guess it is my cell phone now). I can feel your fun through the video. Video-ing is it’s own challenge. Red light paralysis. Goof job. Thanks got sharing.

    Well if you aren’t a master, you are at least a chord journeyman. You can play so many song with those chords. Keep having fun and congrats.

    The song is great and the picking is inspiring. If you perform it again, you might consider just the raw simplicity of your natural voice is good and fits the song style without resonance. The finger picks are great experimentation. Wish I could do as well.

    Ha. Fun to share the gaffs. We all have them though we like to pretend we don’t.

    I don’t have a box readily available to raise my leg so I generally don’t. But it is easier on the body so I wish I wouldn’t be so lazy.
