from GivenToWail it says something about 5th fret capo and tuning 1 string off. does that mean you put one of those clamp things on the neck at 5th fret. The tabs are easy but it doesn't sound right when you play it standard tuning (open strings).

This is how it reads:

"All Guitars capo 5th fret...all notes relative to capo
(0 represents capoed 5th fret)
Tune your B string up to a C (EADGCE)"

    tune your B string up to a C like it says. Then put the capo (that's the clamp thing) on at the 5th fret. Then play it like it says, it's a very easy song...not sure why it doesn't sound right? check your tuning perhaps...

    I didn't have a capo, and wasn't sure what it was since I'm still a beginner, I was playing as the tabs read without a capo and without tuning the B string. It didn't sound right, no suprise. So I tried it like a bar chord (?) - my index finger pressing all strings on the 5th fret, it sounded more correct.
