Am I the only one who thinks the way that EVERY SINGLE song that uses a capo is written in the most needlessly difficult way? Why for example if the capo is on the 2nd fret, do I need to ADD 2 to EVERY note of the song? If the tab says 12, maybe I'm crazy, but my instinct is to fret on the 12th fret. I get that the 2nd fret becomes the equivalent of the open strings but isn't it way easier to just remember THAT whenever it comes up than to mentally add 2 to every single thing on the screen? Because that's where the capo is PHYSICALLY LOCATED on the guitar? I shouldn't have to play catch up through any song I'm learning because I'm so crazy that when I see the number 12 I think it means the number 12 and not 12+2.
