Play it easier with a capo
- Capo on fret 1 + D6 shape → sounds as E♭6
- Capo on fret 3 + C6 shape → sounds as E♭6
- Capo on fret 6 + A6 shape → sounds as E♭6
If barre chords are hard, clamp a capo and play an open shape — it sounds exactly the same. The Buskermate app can move a whole chord sheet to any capo position for you.
