Scott Avett Sing, Pretend Love - search on youtube When playing C, play with putting your pinky on the 3rd fret on the 1st string to play what would normally add the G beneath C to your C chord (without the capo) and alternate plucking C then G and strumming in between(sorry if I don't know the terminology, I'm a beginner) search for the video above for the example Also you can mess with not changing from the C to C7 all the time, just whatever sounds good as you are playing Also, the F and Fm version that sound good and are easiest to use are the 2nd and 3rd versions here on ultimate guitar that skip the first 2 strings.
