Thread Name: Capo. Cheat or godsend?
Subject: RE: Capo. Cheat or godsend?
Murray, Likely. I use a combination of two-string capos to give me virtual tunings like E, Am, Em and raised variations in combination with a full capo. Also virtual DADGAD and open A and their raised relatives with a full capo. Various dropped tunings using the "drop D" and "double drop D" capos in combination with a full capo. This is assuming standard tuning as a starting point. Drop tunings with an open chord tuning as a starting point are cool and allow wider chord voicings than normal, a benefit when trying to be bass, guitar, and piano all at once.
