Anybody use a capo?

Drache713 · 02-20-2006, 08:24 PM

I LOVE mine! I've been wanting to experiment with different tunings, like tuning my 7 up a half step, but if I slap my capo on the first fret, I'm good to roll! I have also been pondering lately about getting a 6-string and tuning it to drop d down a whole step, but if I tune my 7 to drop a then slap the capo on the 3rd fret it's almost identical.

Anybody else do stuff like this?

I do. I love capos.

I used to use one all of the time, but I lost it. I can't justify spending $20 on another one. So, I'll just make one out of a pencil and some rubber bands.

I do all the time.

Hell yeah, on acoustic I'm a Capo HORE! (Any one who ever plays guitar for a church knows what I'm sayin')

Very useful tools...it's fun to use them for open string rolls in the higher positions!

I used to play at a church. Everyone who played there used a capo, but mainly out of neglect of barre chords, not to do any unique voicings. I don't have any idea what you mean by 'HORE.'
