most coldplay is actually in an alternate tuning, but capos work for a lot of them

capos are cool. put it high up and you can play chords that you can't (or are fuckin' hard to) play open. ya know cause the frets are closer together and the action is lower and shit. fun to fool around.
good, and you?

thanks a lot, dude. he's brilliant. i love him. he demonstrates the beauty of simplicity. Say Hello, Wave Goodbye was an absolutely awesome cover, and i love it more than the original. Babylon is still always a classic, and i've grown to love Please Forgive Me because of the Live at the Point dvd. seen it? if not, you should! ;) great to hear that there's another DG fan on here.
