When performing this song with a single guitar, I use #2 with #1 (both are capo 2).
I would have a second guitar--if available--play #3 and maybe #4 (both capo 4).

Opening to "Lead of Love"
Written by Aaron Tate
Arranged by Caedmon's Call
Transcribed by Alex. =)
Here's the opening of "Lead of Love." Just capo on 2, it's all on
the highest three strings (G, B, E). The highest two strings (B, E)
are always open (no fingers, just play the capoed note), so
basically you just move up and down the G string. Just make sure
your finger doesn't hit the open strings, to keep them ringing.
Since the highest two strings are always open, I numbered them as 0,
(even though they're technically 2nd fret because of the capo), but
for the G string I've named the fret by the ACTUAL number, so it's
easier to figure out where you are that way.
And as in all tab, make sure you're reading this in a font that
gives equal spaces for each character (ex. courier), or else the
lines won't line up.

Capo 2 in E (F#), standard-tuned six-string acoustic. Quick tempo in
4. This also sounds great on a 12-string.
This is a simple song that can work well with a single guitar and
even with a single voice. It's all strumming, except for some
optionial flat-picking for the intro. Cliff sings lead, the lyrics in
ALL CAPS. Derek echoes or harmonizes on the parts marked with
(parentheses). Danielle joins for the parts in {braces}.
Chord fingerings:
e|---0----------------0(2,0,0)----0----0--- ---0----0---
b|---0----------------0(0,2,0)----0----0--- ---0----0---
g|---1(h2,p1)----(1h2)2-----------4----6--- ---6----8---
d|---2----------------2-----------4----6--- ---7----9---
a|---2----------------0-----------2----4--- ---7----9---
e|---0----------------x-----------x----x--- ---5----7---
E A2 Bsus4 C#m7 (A2 Bsus4)
(try these alternate
() = optional/ad-lib fingerings to spice
h = hammer-on up the guitar solo
p = pull-off section)
s = slide
Normally Alex's version of the intro (see above) is better, but on
a 12-string use this version on just the bottom two "courses" (pairs of
strings), b and e:
e|-----0-----0----0----0-----0----0----0----0----0----0-----0---0-
b|--5-----4-----4---2-----0-----0---5----5s7---7---2-----0----0---
g|----------------------------------------------------------------
d|----------------------------------------------------------------
a|----------------------------------------------------------------
e|----------------------------------------------------------------
I run through the intro lick (Alex's, unless I'm on a 12-string) once,
and then I start strumming the full chords.
Once you go to strumming full chords, the easiest way is to use
the basic E and A2 fingerings. This way your hand is always in the
same position at the second fret. You can also add the hammer to the E
and the optional notes to the A2 with your pinky finger. This puts
part of the intro lick within the chords and spices things up a bit.
But here's an even better way that's not much more difficult:
e|---0-----0---------0-----0---------0-----0---------0-----0---
b|---0-----0---------0-----0---------0-----7---------0-----0---
g|---9-----8---------6-----1---------9-----9---------6-----2---
d|---9-----9---------7-----2---------9-----9---------7-----2---
a|---7-----9---------7-----2---------0-----0---------0-----0---
e|---0-----0---------0-----0---------x-----x---------x-----x---
E Emaj7 Esus6 E A2 Asus6 A(9) A2
These chords also contain the intro lick and sound much better
than just the basic E and A2. I use these in the intro, after the
first chorus, and in the outro, though I use the basic E and A2 for
about half of the outro to keep these from getting monotonous. Note
that you can play all this keeping your ring finger on the 4th string.

This is capo 4, or if you're capoed 2, you can just bar the 2nd fret
above the capo with your index finger throughout the solo. Essentially
in this song, the capo 2 (in E) guitar that plays the intro lick is
lead, and the capo 4 (in D) guitar is rhythm whenever that lick is
being played. For the guitar solo, however, the capo 2 takes over
rhythm, and the capo 4 plays the solo.
