For Recordame, just think about the third…that’s the change from maj7 to -7. And going from the -7 to the 7b9, a fourth up, the G to Gb is the important bit.
It’s one of my favorite tunes – why didn’t we ever play it?
I’ve been using the D’Addario NS capos designed by Ned Steinberger mostly. I don’t lose them as much as Shubbs bc they clamp on the headstock and stay in tune decently well.
My favorite Shubb is also a brass 12 string I’ve had since the mid-eighties. I have a bunch of Shubbs and they’re all good.
Jam guitars – that is, those that I take to local jams where stuff gets swapped and borrowed – get Kysers.
A design I want to like but which I just don’t care for is the Thalia. The idea is great but they feel clunky.
And the weirdest one is the plastic Bird of Paradise, which works great except that the clamping mechanism wears out over time.

I’ve played 2 SCGC archtops and each was better than the other. A 15” natural with deco inlays would be perfect….
After installing a few of them, I’m also fond of the Ultra Tonic. I’ve installed it both with superglue and with 3M tape; the difference is nominal, IMO. I like the ability to tune it to the guitar via DIP switches, and the fact that it’s passive.
Planning to try the new Baggs bridge plate transducer – I have had passive IBeams in guitars for years and they work very well if the volume levels aren’t too high.
My cost-is-no-object system of the moment is the Trance Amulet MVP Phantom system – no batteries and remarkable sound. It’s very expensive, though.
