Mike-

Hello! I'm sharing this Depeche Mode song, Personal Jesus with the Rockshare guitar group here in Phoenix AZ. About the use of the capo on the 2nd fret, as you're instructing in your tutorials, in none of the youtube videos with Depeche Mode, I see the guitar player using a capo. But I can play along in same key with capo on 2nd fret. He's playing the riff on the 3rd fret it appears wo capo, he must be doing some tuning adjustments I assume? See attached video link of a live performance by Depeche Mode.

I'm sure you're instructing the use of the capo for valid reasons, one of them for fuller richer tone reasons. Do have anything else to add for the use of the capo or deviation from what Depeche Mode is doing? Please clarify.

[br]Thank you![br][br]Tony
