Nowhere Man by Beatles


 Okay, the song is in E.  But the Boys played it with a capo on the second
fret and played in D.  Go for it.

Solo: This is played on a normally tuned guitar, NO CAPO.  You'll be
      surprised how easy this is! The fingerings are mostly based on
      simple chord shapes (E and A).  When the "chorded" fingerings come
      up, don't strike all strings at once; use a downstroke that allows
      each string tosound on its own for an instant.  This will give you
      that "scratchy" sound--check out the record to hear what I 
      obviously can't put into words. Note the natural harmonic at the
      5th fret at the end.
