Today I bought a Capo and discovered the amazing sounds it can create. I havent put my guitar down yet so many new sounds!!! Anyone out there know of any good Capo songs? I have all the DMb ones but was wondering what else is out there. thanks

I only ever use a capo for random writing, but:

Cannonball by Damien Rice is a good one

if you're into dmb you can play stay or leave and few others (you never know, oh) without retuning your guitar

Good Good Time is the only DMB song that Dave uses a capo for on stage.

capo 7 for stay or leave...

i like to experiment with dave songs and capos...try putting capo on 2 and playing crash...sounds pretty cool...

alot of mainstream acoustic songs involve capos...wonderwall, collide

just experiment

Detune whole step. Capo 2. Standard tuning, but you get a different sound as well.

although the song wasnt designed for a capo, you can play shotgun on the 5th fret. also stay or leave is great
