Need help with one more

For key of Db: capo 1, play C.
For key of F, capo 1, play E.

For finger-picking, play your part with a light pick. I doubt anyone will
know the difference. I don't fingerpick much. Haven't been kicked out of
the praise band yet.

For Abmaj9, here's a hack that might get you over the hump. Finger your
4th-fret Ab WITHOUT BARRING! Okay, now take your index off 4th fret E,
keeping everything else in place. Put your pinky on 6th fret E. Just play
strings 1 - 4.

Okay, we have a song that calls for a finger-picked acoustic. I'm only a
so-so finger-picker to start with, I don't do anything but very standard
rolls. It starts in the key of Db and modulates into F. I think it would
sound best if it were played with a capo, but I'm not sure if there is a
way to set the capo so that I can play in both keys without playing bar
chords. If I'm going to end up playing a bunch of bar chords it would be
easier to play the whole piece that way. Also, it has an Abmaj9 in
it. All forms of the chord I've been able to find look just nigh-on
impossible for me to play. Any hints at a cheat for that one? The Bbm9
and Bdim7 in the song I've got down...

Last night I play most of the pieces we practiced from memory. I'm getting
the hang of this stuff and I appreciate all the help and prayers from this
list.
