Wow- thanks for the great and detail reply. I am going to have to read it 3 times for all your wisdom to sink in. What you shared definitely clears up a lot. Yes, at the 13th fret I can play the pentatonic 1st position and it works perfectly. You are also right that this song uses many open strings.

My last rookie question for today. If all the notes are there regardless, why use a Capo at all? In the past, I know guitar players use them to change pitch to help out singers...I think.

The tab is easy to find. It's a really nice tune with a very bluesy sound.

I first heard it on a Warren Miller skiing movie and as a skier, I was hooked. I use to live in the mountains. "On the mountains, where I was born, there are trees that would call my name." When you have time, have a listen to it- I am sure you will like it.

Thanks again.
