I confess that I have a negative reaction when I see an electric guitar with a capo. Just for you, Andy! He's missing a string, too. ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240726/744c02c9b10ff4faad70e3e187195a59.jpeg) Peter

Based on something Keith wrote I thought perhaps capo-ing at the second fret but leaving the sixth string open (i.e. only capo-ing the top five strings) would be instant drop D. That would be a neat trick to be able to use live.
Alas, turns out it's not as simple as that! My drop D chord voicings where I've learned to re-finger that sixth string are now all wrong...

Derek I do that a lot, and the only problem I find is that chords like Em get a bit awkward. Other than that it works great (but if I was using that a lot, I might think about using a Keith peg on the 6th string, like Adrian Legg)
