Good point ,.......... I want to ask the players here .... assuming that you are on your own just messing about or practicing ....Do you have a prefered fret to put a capo on ?? ............ and why? Me i use no capo a lot , but often then I use fret 2 more than anything , occasionally 3 . i dont like it too high cos you get that 'Chipmonks ' effect i think . although I have a tarantos which is on 4 ,,,. Thats another thing , if I learn something by someone else , and it happens to have a capo on 3 for example , then of course I will to but even after learning it when I could change , I tend not too , like the song is linked to a fret in my head ..... So I suppose 2 , fairly normal I think , I see the 2nd fret as a 'Bulerias 'fret .......... Oh yeah , one other thing I move from 2nd to 3rd also to spread out the wear on the strings ..............

3-4, for soleá, the higher the better :) strange that you say that , i think solea the lower the better ,so . , no capo for that. maybe because its slower and you can get the big bottom E string bass. especially on the intro , or ending .... However I may use a capo to learn something and then uncapo ( is that a verb? ) to play it as i have a reasonably good stretch . and i like to know that I can do things without a capo if need be, , I do force myself to do that and always have ....., years of stretching for jazz guitar chords may have something to do with it ...... But yeah then when I re-capo (another new verb) the whole thing becomes easier , and sounds brighter ,... makes you wonder why not just have a smaller guitar ..........
