I need to some help with my analytical mind. When I play, I tend to stay on and around the fret of the key, so for example, In A (capo'd) I stay on or around the open fret. I may slide to 2 and if I'm feeling brave I'll even to to #5!

Here's my problem / question. When in the key of A (capo'd) for example and the chord changes to E, many of the tabs have notes on 0 and #2 (near A). Since I tend to stay on or near #7 I limit myself to what I can do. I don't understand the methodology of playing E with an open fret or on #2.

Is there a way to help me understand what notes I can play where?

Thanks!
