thanks for the food for thought, fezo
i think he has 18 guitars (not sure how many quality acoustic 6 strings) and would hope there's room on stage to add a dedicated 1st fretter up there...anyhow, i'm sure it's been tossed about by the master and his boys, and i'm just beating a dead horse here, lol
in toying with a capo, i've noticed how easy (well, in my case, i should say 'not as difficult') it is to move about the fretboard with capo up one or two frets...i end up overshooting some of the neck frets targeted... conversely, in GL's case, going capoless might present some muscle memory issues but after some conditioning those large fingers could stretch wherever he please...i am thinking a vocalist might need a more hearty wind (diaphragm reliance) to sing in a lower key and that could be what's at the root of the matter
Ordinary Man is in my top three...thanks again for the tidbit
well, i'm pretty keyed up in seeing if mr fifer follows through with his offer
