Hi Herb,

If B is the key you sing in and you want the first position open chord sound put a capo on the second fret and play the guitar in the key of A. With the capo on the second fret an A becomes a B, a D becomes an E, and so on and so forth.

I hope this helps!

Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.
