Been there, done that. In a Top40 cover band, the song of the week had to be learned, and last month's song was too old to play anymore.

It was good training, and learning to cover many different bands styles was good education.

I find if I can remember the first note or chord or word of the song, the rest comes around.

Capo?

Not for me.

Why?

Putting the capo on makes the guitar sharp by pushing the string between two frets. Then when you put your finger down between another two frets, that string goes even sharper.

The saxophone is not in tune with itself. Each note is different. For decades I listen to the sax tone, and adjust the vertical position of my lower lip to make the note in tune (or intentionally out of tune). Put the capo on and a finger on and the note is sharp enough to bug me. I want to adjust it.

Of course, for the general public it's probably OK, so if someone else wants to use one, it's their business.
