jjrpilot Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I’m just head over heals with my new J45! Classic Gibson tone but I’m wondering if I’m crazy...it seems like using a capo brings out even more character...anyone think the same? Gosh I love this guitar!

QuestionMark Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Didn’t George Harrison play his Gibson far fretted up the neck on Here Comes the Sun? Sounded awesome! QM aka Jazzman Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 You are a little crazy now, jjrpilot - flying up'n'down the frets. Enjoy your Gibson ^ A daily pleasure, which will only increase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seventh fret for Here Comes The Sun on his sunburst J200. Although in this photo he's capo'd at five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versatile Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 There have been discussions about capo's enhancing guitar tone.... After initial scepticism I'm coming round to thinking that yes they can...... My premium Thalia capo, IMO partly due to it's heavy weight, does seem to improve sustain somewhat.... It is also very shiny and has a splendid abalone shell insert V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I don't use them as much as I use to. But, I agree they definitely change the tone. For better or worse... is in the ears of the beholder. In sickness and in health ,,, and in your wife's booties apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 yea, they do make a difference in many aspects.. As a solo acoustic performer, you almost can't "NOT" use a capo. I use a few, Drop D, Short Cut, Double Drop D, along and in tandem with a standard capo. Essential tools for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-28 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 His wife’s feet must be freezing Yeah those, I will loosely call them boots, are pretty girly. Don't forget to capo the 3rd fret for Long Long Long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Oh, absolutely, check out Aaron Lewis playing his song Vicious Circles on his vintage '52 SJ capoed at the 5th http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHESw-a3qhs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
