ABAC - CAPO 2 (STANDARD TUNING) - danield - 11-16-2006

I am at work now but was wondering...

anyone plays ABAC capoed on the 2nd fret in standard tuning? The D is played with a "C"-shaped chord and you can add the pinky on 1st string 5th fret for that sound we all recognize.

I was thinking about it and maybe the D played that way will sound more "full" than the standard D in 1st position...

just a thought....will try it out tonight!! gimme your opinions

ps: its a pain to tune to open C just for 1 song...I try to avoid it at all cost :-)
