What I said in the first paragraph, but the microphone did not pick it up correctly was that I was surprised you did it with the capo 2 but how did John Lennon play it? Did he play it the way you teach look at me in A With that long A chord stretch?

Jerry hi a couple of things. First surprise you’re using a capo on the second fret I’m not doing it and a John Lennon A type chord like look at me. However when I play it I do it exactly that way with a capo on the second fret in G just because it’s easier to play, but how did John Lennon do it with a capo or no capo in A. I am always interested in the way it was done originally instead of a simplified version to accommodate my playing. Second I noticed you’re Singing it lower because it is too high for you to sing. Why not just do it without the capo and you could sing it closer in the key of Lennon without going too low, And without putting the Capo farther up like you mentioned or where it sounds too high on the guitar and Unnatural. I know why you’re teaching it with the capo on fret two so it could be in the original key For your patrons, but when you mentioned when you sing it you would put the capo all the way up the front to five or six? But again why not just take the capo off I’m sure you could sing it that way and it sounds more natural than having a capo all the way on the higher frets, Where the guitar sounds too high? Just an observation and thoughts from one Musician’s to another….😊
