Thanks for all the suggestions.

Banjoman, it's good to hear from somebody with the same problems I have. I do sing along with the songs, and we have a good soprano who also leads. Trouble is, our little congregation has only one actual soprano. The rest do their best but really appreciate a lower key. For this week, the pastor picked a song that goes up to E. I want to say, "Get real!"

I only play when our pianist is not available. The guitar is not my main instrument. What I am trying to say is, those who think I ought to shop for the perfect capo and master it by Sunday, or that I should master barre chords after failing for 25 years, are not going to get their wish.

BWL, I'll measure the little guitar and see if it's 24" or 26." Thanks.

Bernard, thanks for the idea about tuning low. Why didn't I think of that? Actually I know why. A friend died this week, the tomatoes needed attention, and I've hurt my right thumb.

Now the good news. The Global is my "second-hand flea market guitar." I can tune it, set it aside, come back two months later, and it will still be in tune. People who don't know I paid $37.50 for it praise its tone. I should see if it has a model number, so I can say "I have a Global PW3750..." the way Martin owners do. (The PW is for plywood.)
