Hi jerry, I know you Mike herberts lessons, you are a good teacher. I like to know I have a cordoba classical nylon string guitar and it has 12 freds on the neck if I want to play scarborough fair sonts where would I put my capo. I am not bad with my finger picking now and I can play the song but before I buy the song I liket to know where the capo will go on 12 frets guitar thank you

You can capo where Paul Simon does – at fret 7. If that’s a little too high for comfort you can actually put the capo on any fret you want (or not use it at all). The lesson will still work. But start by trying it at fret 7 as Paul Simon does.
