Morten,
Ok I think I found what works for me. There is a guy on youtube that plays a lead that sounds very good. He places a cappo on the 5th fret and still gets all the low notes you are so right about. His melody is weak at best so I am only using his lead with everything Neil has taught us in his Target lesson. Search under "Lindsey Buckingham Never Going Back Again" and in the 3 column of selections see "California Injury Legal Network" (why?) an 8:01 minute clip from martiniqueplace. It sounds pretty good and you can follow it easily. Hope this helps. I'm excited.

Hey Morten,
Sorry I've been sidetracked for several days.
Here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kld_JR-49Uc
The melody this guy plays needs some serious work but again it's his lead part that interests me. You might also see how you can improve his lead but I give him great credit for coming up with a lead while capo'd on the 5th fret.

Morten,
Now that I compare, his lead is very similar to the one you play capo'd on the 4th fret.
I think you can get all the notes in and still capo yours on the 5th fret if you wanted to. That gets it a little closer to Neil's version so that it still has a "mandolin sound". Sorry to beat this one to death but I appreciate the dialogue. This is really a great way to improve your play.

I wanted to make another comment about this subject of lead riff and what fret to capo on. I have been feeling like you had to capo on the 3rd, 4th, or 5th frets to be able to have enough room to play the lead and get in all the notes. However, now that I know the lead well enough to improvise and find all the notes, it has become obvious to me that you can get the lead notes in no matter what fret you capo on. Even the capo on the 6th fret allows enough room to play a nice lead. This may have already been obvious to some but I had to learn it by trial and error.
