Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": "I once saw this in a movie, it was about a bus that had to keep it's "speed" above 50, and if it's "speed" dropped, it would explode...I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down"!

correct and incorrect. Their is a very very good accoustic tab floating around for Under The Bridge that requires a capo. I had it in a magazine, that I have since lost...I think. But the Chili Peppers play it without.

Matter of factly put, you can play any song with a capo. You'll either be playing it with different chord shapes, or be playing it in a different key. Ben Harper's Burn One Down is another good one for capo use.

OK, just because any song can be played with a capo doesnt mean you shouold just list off any song,. what sense does that make?

I dont see why you'd need capo help on under the bridge anyways.... ...oh well, to each their own.

I am pretty sure "Here Comes the Sun" is capoed at the 7th fret. Great song.
