Check out my personal compositions at Rotterdam studio: www.youtube.com On request here is a little explaining of how you can play Setting Me Up in an open G tuning with a capo on the second position. I have been putting the tabs (or something representing that) in the video, so if you want to see positions on the neck just press pause and you can figure that out. good luck with that. cheers
