CUT CAPO “SATISFIED” - NEW FROM CHRIS TOMLIN | Mitch Bohannon On August 17, I was excited to see a new EP because he had learned the technique from just by exploring. Though I had been playing from Chris Tomlin drop. As a worship leader, I Billy Foote. guitar for 20 years, I had never been exposed lead in much the same style as Chris and I’m to playing in alternate tunings. Through visiting always anxious to see what he will put out next. Chris and his band were flying home from San with Chris, I was able to understand that I met Chris at Worship Together 2000 in San Jose on the same flight to Houston that I was playing with the cut capo would take a new Jose, California. In fact, for me, that’s where on, so we had a good visit in the airport and I got way of thinking. As I studied and diagramed the story of the cut capo began. Chris had just to begin picking his brain about the cut capo. chord shapes, I quickly found that this new way released his The Noise We Make record, on He was playing mostly by ear, which is what of thinking was actually extremely simple! For much of which he played with a homemade cut I would encourage you to begin doing as well those of you who have never tried it, I sure hope capo. At that time, he called it a ‘Foote Capo’ as you will find new fingerings and movements you will, as I believe there is much more to be learned and explored with the cut capo. Satisfied Key: A | Tempo 88 Chris Tomlin | Jason Ingram | Ross Copperman “Satisfied” is the song that grabbed my attention first from his new five-song EP, Nobody Loves CHORUS 1 D2 A I count my blessings one by one Your goodness in my life Esus Bm7 F#m7 How could I ask for more in You I’m satis - fied VERSE 1 D A All the mountains that I ascend Esus F#m7 They leave me empty time and time again D A I fix my eyes on this reward Esus F#m7 The world behind me now and You before Me Like You. It’s got a great groove from the start; it’s something that the congregation can sing and shout loud with phrasing that takes this old Baptist-boy back to the hymn, “Count Your Many Blessings.” The chart is written in the key of ‘A’ so you can capo up and sing it where it’s comfortable. To play with the original recording, place a full capo on fret 4 and the cut capo on fret 6. In that position, you’ll be playing in the key of ‘C#.’ CHORUS 2 D2 A I count my blessings one by one Your goodness in my life Esus Bm7 F#m7 How could I ask for more in You I’m satis - fied D2 A If you are all I have I know that I will find Esus Bm7 F#m7 That You are all I need in You I’m satis - fied Playing this song with the cut capo is a lot of fun with a straight, full-on strum in the chorus. With the cut capo, you can strum all six strings for all chords. The verses are best with a Tomlin- esque palm-muted rhythm. Bridge one is full- on, like the chorus, and bridge two is best with VERSE 2 D A So let my life be freely spent Esus F#m7 For what only, only You can give D A My richest gain I count as loss Esus F#m7 When I survey the wonder of the Cross diamonds (whole note strums). Find y our style and have fun with it! Mitch Bohannon Developed the Short-Cut Capo for Kyser. Worship Leader in Louisiana. Married to his beautiful wife, Noelle, for 23 years and they have three awesome kids.
