Thread Name: help for people using partial capos
Subject: RE: help for people using partial capos
Midchuck, I agree 100%, like you I do use a Partial Capo, for the fake DADGAD sound, but only sparingly then its impact is all the more greater than using it all the time. I'm not a great lover of artists who continually change their tunings, as for me the guitar needs to settle and constant changing of tensions tends to stop that. I watched several major artists swoping tunings and even though the guitar is OK when they start a song, quite often its slightly out by the end. Dougie MacLean and Jez Lowe good though they maybe, are both guilty of this. Added to which I object to paying high ticket prices to listen to them trying to tune up. Tune in your own time!
